Musings from a 12-day-old

** I have been following each of your blogs, but for some reason, am having difficulty leaving comments. Anyone else having issues?**

From Sienna:

-- I LOVE to be held. I cannot reiterate that enough. I can be fed, changed, and completely exhausted, but if I'm not in your arms, I throw a fit. Daddy says I'm high maintenance and if we don't get this need to be constantly held under control, a whole host of issues can occur -- teenage insecurity/rebellion, followed by lots of tats and piercings, followed by me marrying some guy named Vinny at a midnight ceremony in Vegas.

-- I don't much care for my crib. It's hard and uncomfortable. I prefer to sleep (only after being held) in my vibrating chair.

-- I don't think I've worn anything other than pink since I was born.

-- Mommy puts these gawdy huge bows on my head. They get in my eyes.

-- I poop with every single feeding. And it stinks.

-- Nursing is going better, although I still recognize that milk just comes faster from a bottle than from Mommy. Sorry, Ma.

-- I love my big brother. He's always watching out for me. He gives a play-by-play to Daddy in the car. "Daddy, uh-oh, Sienna lost her binky." "Daddy, uh-oh, Sienna's crying." "Daddy, uh-oh, Sienna's missing." (That last one had Mommy in a tizzy).

  4. Ahhhh....the newborn. She just wants to feel like she is still in the womb...afterall...she didnt' seem to be in a big hurry to get out! Super cute post. My little Genevieve didn't much like her crib/bassinet either...but if I swaddled her tight and then put her between two bolster pillow (the round ones)...I tricked her into thinking she was in arms....worked like a charm until she was about 5 months and moving...she has been sleeping in her bassinet/crib like a champ so it may be something you want to try.

    Enjoy these first few weeks...they are sooo precious.

  5. For commenting, if it's taking you back to your sign on screen (like it was me when I would try to post a comment), uncheck the "keep me signed in" or "remember me" box. That should fix it.

    So glad little girl is doing great! Sounds like she's ruling your home at the moment!
