Sienna turned 6 months old a couple of weeks ago. Wow! These 6 months have certainly gone by quickly! And, faster than I remember Ethan’s first six months going.
Sienna weighed 14.6 pounds at her 6 month check-up. That’s about how much Ethan weighed when he was 3 months old. She has been in the 75th-80th percentile for height the last couple of months.
She is a great baby. Outside of the first three months she hasn’t been fussy much except about 6:30 in the evenings. She is almost like clockwork when it comes to nursing at that time and going to bed (unless people are around which tends to distract her). She still goes to bed around 7:00 at night and gets up between 7:30 and 8:00 in the morning. I’m working on pushing her naps to 10:00 and 2:00, but it’s more like 9:30 and 1:30 right now. Her naps are usually around 2-3 hours each, so that has been nice, but also made it difficult to take Ethan to the playground (like he wants to do everyday). I definitely wish that I had known more about nap stuff when Ethan was this age. 
Gary thinks that she smiles more than Ethan did. I remember him smiling a lot, so I don’t really know. She seems to enjoy people and being held by whoever will hold her, so I wonder if she will be an extrovert like her brother.
We get a lot of comments about her pretty blue eyes. I still get comments about Ethan’s blue eyes too. I think they both still look a lot alike.
She is much more verbal than Ethan was at this age. And she is loud! She makes all kinds of screeches at a very high pitch. Some people think she’s upset because it’s so loud and high pitched, but she often does it when she’s happy.
Her hair is still a strawberry blonde color, but seems to be more blonde in the back and at the roots. We’ll see what color it ends up.
Before too long many of you reading this will get to meet Sienna in person so won’t need these little descriptions.
