In Bubba's arms...

When Sienna cries, Bubba has the patience of a saint.. he walks around, sings his little songs to her (now called 'Bubba jazz'), and sometimes she rewards us all with some peace in return...

I couldn't help but record how small she is in relation to Bubba's hands..

First smile... but not on camera...

After a few days of 'nearly' smiles, we got several proper smiles today! Despite what you might think, my camera is not permanently attached to  me, so I didn't manage to capture a smile to share... I did get a sleeping shot though!

First smiles... 5 weeks 2 days...

Sienna at five weeks...

How have five weeks passed already since we first met you? 

Here are some special things about you at five weeks old:

- you are desperately trying to smile and have given us a few 'nearly' smiles (captured below)

- you are focusing on our faces and following us when we move

- you can grip our fingers with your tiny hands

- your favourite toys are Zeddy the African horse (aka Zebra), Lewis the Dog, Flopsy the rabbit and your sock monkey! (ok, so maybe those are actually mummy's favourites..)

- your lungs are getting louder and you love to exercise them in the evenings!

- you sleep beside our bed in your little moses basket, but are gradually filling it up more and more each day...

- at your last weigh in you were 3.4kg, but that was at 3 and a half weeks so you must be a lot heavier now!

- just today you have learnt to sleep in the Hug-a-Bub

- you just love bathtime with Daddy when he gets home from work!

Happy five weeks sweet little one...
