Rebecca, our midwife come over, and gave sienna a once over. It's official-she's a giantess. She went from 7#2oz at birth, down to 6#12oz a few days later, to a whopping 8#4oz at three.5 weeks. Fantastic. She went from the 16 percentile for US babies to the 32 percentile. A visit with the pediatrician the next day gave us the percentile numbers. Good luck Dr. Lowe on your birth today! See you in a few months.

Then grampa Lee came to visit from CO and TX. We went for some walks and celebrated the start of Ramadan by abstaining from, well, not food per se, but wheat products. It went well, and we look forward to the month ahead. Unfortunately, grampa came at a time when ms sienna was a little on the fussy side, so he heard her exercise her lungs more than usual. That said, they had some excellent conversations together regarding the weather and the geomorphology of the Gallatin Valley. Sienna brought up the excellent point that it's difficult for most humans to be as topographically visionary as geologists given our inability to comprehend geologic time.

In other big news, Sienna took her first bottle splendidly. Auntie Christa
sent out a breast pump, and it worked quite well. Now, Dada and all the
grampas can enjoy the thrill of the feed. |
