I’m officially a blogger now…

Today my baby girl, Sienna Madeleine Rose (aka “Sweetpea” by me) is 5 months old. Gee, I can’t believe how fast time goes by. I just want it to slow down a bit so I can fully appreciate the stages of her life. This made me realize that I needed to document her milestones, daily achievements, her explorations and just the super cute things she does in some type of manner. Everyone will tell you (especially my husband) that I’m not the blogger type, but this is just a great way to capture and memorialize her childhood experiences. The main reason for my blog is because I don’t want to forget. As she and her two brothers, Justin and Davis, grow up, these memories will start to fade in my mind, so I want a well put together record of her childhood. I wish this had been around when my boys were little (or maybe it was and I just didn’t know about it).
Anyhow, after 5 years of trying (and a big age gap between baby and her brothers), Vince and I finally received our beautiful baby girl!  Sweetpea Sienna completes our family of 5 and is just a true sweetheart! She is just wonderful and so loveable. She is everything I could ever want and more!! She has a smile that instantly creates a sense of happiness in me. We are all just in love with her!
I wish I had started this blog when Sienna was born, but since I didn’t, here are some of her stats:
Born on Friday, October 8th, 2010 at 1:28am – after 16 ½ hours of labor (thank you!). She weighed 6 lbs., 15 oz., and was 19 inches long.
Started sleeping through the night (8+ hours consecutively) at 6 weeks! We’re so lucky! J
At her last doctor’s appointment on February 18th, she weighed 16 ½ lbs and was 26 inches long (98% percentile!). From the looks of it, she’s going to be tall! Thank goodness, she didn’t receive my short genes! J
