Blessing Day

I debated for a long time over where to do her blessing. I really wanted family to be there, but I also felt like it should be done here in our ward so when Patrick and Maren came I saw an opportunity for us to do both. The window was short because they were only here for a week. I wish I had been able to tell people but my tonsils were swollen which made speaking incredibly painful. Sienna's blessing was beautiful and simple and spoke mostly of the good character of our beautiful little girl. I am so grateful for such a wonderful husband who holds the priesthood and is worthy to speak in God's name. He is a wonderful dad and an even better husband. We are truly blessed this little one chose us. After the blessing we had a delicious dinner at Maren's Mom's house, and Patrick took these beautiful photos in the yard. Both Patrick and Sean really got into it. Patrick and Maren went to a lot of trouble trying to get these pictures to transfer from the camera to the computer, and I am so grateful that they went to the trouble.

Sienna has a lot longer happy times now. I think this is mostly because her eyesight has improved so much and so she doesn't get as bored. Whatever the reason Sean and I enjoy it. She still gets really angry when things aren't going her way, but we love her all the same. I swear she gets more beautiful each day and I love taking pictures to show off on facebook and the blog.

Attentive

Sienna is getting a lot better at finding her thumb, and yesterday when I gave her bath she loved the dripping wash cloth and followed it with her eyes. She was sooo mad when I took her out, I guess she wasn't done. I am not sure why but my legs are killing me and even though she went right to sleep after her 3am feed I couldn't....I wish I had just taken medicine.

So Big!

1st Mothers Day

I had I wonderful 1st mothers day full of happy wishes. I got a picture book of Sienna, and we all went to church for the first time. (everyone adored her of course.) She was quiet all through sacrament meeting. My mother-in-law sent flowers and my mom sent a card. Sean also gave me a massage and made this beautiful dinner! Thanks everyone.

Bath Time

Sienna always likes her next bath more than her last. This is the last bath before we retire her hospital tub (it  lasted 6 1/2 weeks!). We made a mess but she was super cute and fun.
