Already Two Weeks Old

It’s hard to believe that it’s already been two weeks since Sienna was born.

In Hungary you go to the doctor for a check-up each week until the baby is one month old, then you go once a month for check-ups until they are six months old.  When we went to the doctor for Sienna’s first check-up, she had gained a lot of weight and was doing well.  The doctor said that she was very strong.  When on her stomach, she was able to move forward on her own with her arms.  The doctor said that she is actually strong enough to roll over without realizing it, and if she were to roll over onto her stomach, she could easily “crawl” off of whatever she is on.  So, the doctor said to be sure not to just leave her somewhere like the bed.  Her legs are pretty strong, and she is holding her head up well.  Now I understand why I felt such kicking/hitting while she was in the womb (much more so than with Ethan). :-)Here is a picture of her on the quilt that Mom made for her.  Mom was very eager to get her pink things, despite me not liking pale pink.  However, now that Mom has seen her in lime green, Mom agrees that it looks better on her than pale pink. :-)

You can see where she scratched her face with her fingernails in the picture above.  Unlike Ethan, she won’t keep her mitten on her hands.  I guess her hands are smaller than Ethan’s, so they come off easier, but she definitely doesn’t like it when we put them on.  I was able to go ahead and cut her nails so hopefully she won’t get anymore scratches like this.More pictures of her at two weeks…
