Sienna, we have been waiting ten years to finally meet you.

결혼식 비디오 테입 다시 보지 그랬어?

넘 구태의연한가?

이제는 결혼기념일마다 쑥쑥 자라는 재인이와 함께겠구나.

금슬 좋은 부부로 앞으로도 지내길 바랍니담. i was showing joe pics of sienna and he really likes the look. he was wondering what camera you use. 축하해...
간만에 윤경이 모습 보니 반갑네..
근데 어딜보는거야..

이번주는 어렵고 담주에 보내주꾸마.

그러고 보니 난 재인이 옷 사준적이 없네?

흠...엄마의 즐거움으로 남겨두고 싶다고나 할까.

I can't believe you guys let the ped give her 5 shots! Poor thing. Good thing she's sleeping it off.

Tooth and words

2010-02-05 07:59:37

So as of yesterday, Sienna has a tooth and speaks. We still can't see the tooth, but you can feel it in her bottom gum. And at the same time she's started to much more clearly imitate real speech. It could just be that it's morning, but it seems Sienna has a deep husky voice to match her name.
And from the looks of her maneuvers on the playmat, she may be crawling by the end of the day. It's a crazy transitional moment.

Comments:

So the crawling hasn't happened yet. But I expect the grandparents' clean rug this weekend will clinch it.
let us know if the crawling happened this weekend!
In the meantime, she's started pulling herself up to standing using shelves. So the trouble is about to begin!

Abbabbabba...

2010-02-18 20:00:34

Today or yesterday Sienna began to babble "properly", i.e., in syllables. "Abbabbabba..." is her first. I'm pretending that it's her first word and that she's saying "Daddy", which is "abba" in Korean.

Crawling?

2010-02-20 13:15:05

Well, Sienna isn't exactly crawling yet, but she does get around. It looks as though she's crawling, but her right leg is almost always splayed out in front of her to provide balance. So she's somewhere between a scoot and a crawl. What should we call it? Scrawling? Crooting? Crawting? Scroowting?

Scrawling around

2010-02-21 20:04:50

Today she definitely started choosing distant destinations and scrooting her way over to them. Got stuck on the lip into the kitchen, however. I'm sure she'll solve that problem soon enough.

I'm not eating that...

2010-02-24 09:40:08

For the last three days, Sienna has refused to accept spoon-fed solids from us. She'll only eat finger-food cheerios and puffs. But the sitter says she's been able to convince her to eat the solids. We're very confused. Everything online suggests it's just a phase and eventually she'll start taking the solids again. I'm sure that's the case, but it's incredibly frustrating in the meantime.

Comments:

i've read in baby books and online...that they'll eat when they're hungry. so we shouldn't worry that our babies are starving when they are refusing feeding. =)

Sienna in Korea

2010-03-01 08:01:34

So Sienna has taken her first airplane ride. Apparently she was indifferent to the cabin air pressure changes, happily eating away. And now, for the first time, she's surrounded completely by people who look asian. Hope she likes kimchi.

While I'm not around...

2010-03-03 17:23:43

Sienna seems to have figured out how to sit up on her own and how to crawl more properly. Or so I've heard from Korea...

And hopefully there will be new pictures soon.

Sienna is a bloody punk rocker

2010-04-02 09:06:32

So, two events of note in the last twelve hours. First, last night, while jumping on the bed, Sienna let go of the headboard and had a Rambo moment: First Blood. She got a scratch on her chin and her two lower teeth smacked into the frenulum labii superioris (the little piece of flesh between your lip and two front teeth), which produced a bit of blood. We both stayed fairly calm, but YK thought I was running to call 911 when I went out of the room to soak my shirt so the blood wouldn't stain. :)

Then, this morning, as much as I've been working to infuse Sienna with Fela, Basie, and Ellington, she starts spontaneously dancing to Hwang Sin Hae Band. The sitter told us she's been dancing, but I hadn't really seen it before. Looks like Sienna is...a punk rocker.

Comments:

izzy LOVES to dance...to anything...including the credit report.com commercial. I can't wait to see Izzy dancing!! 거기 찢어지면 피 엄청나오는데, 지호도 내 무릎에 부딪쳐서 윗 순소대 찢어져서 피 쏟는데 무지하게 많이 나오더라구, 잠들어서도 피 쏟아지고 근데 금방 아물더라..ㅋㅋ

씨에나 춤추는거 궁금하다..

Wonderful neighbors

2010-04-14 08:28:48

Just had a frightful moment. As Sienna and I said goodbye to Yoonkyung, I threw the yoga mat down to hold the door open and allow a crossbreeze. Since my folks are coming this weekend and the huge car seat box has not proven to be the toy I thought it would be, I decided to throw it out. I put Sienna down, carried the box out, and the door closed behind me. The mat hadn't been pushed close enough to the door jamb.

Of course, I always carry my keys with me even when I go out into the stairwell, because I've always been afraid that this kind of thing could happen. Except this time. But no problem. Yoonkyung should be getting out of the elevator at any moment. I looked out the window and there she was. Come up quick and unlock the door, I said. But, having remembered her phone for the first time in two days, she'd forgotten her keys.

As Yoonkyung ran for the super, who has a set of our keys, I tried to talk to Sienna and keep her close to the door so she wouldn't get in trouble. Yoonkyung, not realizing Sienna was in the apartment, took her time trying to find the super, who was not around anywhere. I just kept trying to keep Sienna occupied, especially as she started to bawl.

Eventually one of our neighbors came out to find out what was going on. She called her son to try to slide some plastic between the door and the jamb to open it up, but the only plastic available was too thick. Then, the neighbor realized we could go through our other neighbor's window and across the fire escape. Fortunately, at 8am, they were still home. I rushed through unable to say anything other than our baby's caught inside, can I go across the fire escape, and thanks. Fortunately, we never installed a gate on the window, and I was in.

After wiping away some tears and some snot, we all calmed down. Soon after I saw her hugging the Chip (of Chip and Dale) doll that J&L gave her. She may have found her transitional object.

Comments:

Glad it worked itself out (relatively)quickly and painlessly! Also glad to hear Chip is pulling his weight around the house. 그래도 옆집으로 들어갈 수 있어서 다행이였네..
생각만 해도 끔찍하다..
휴~!

Baby steps

2010-06-02 06:20:53

I know this is supposed to be a huge thing and that I should be gushing, but it doesn't quite feel that way. This past weekend Sienna started sporadically  taking a few steps here and there. Her best performance was four or five steps. It's by no means regular, but chasing her can't be too far away.

Poop fest!

2010-06-03 08:27:54

So this morning I thought it would be good to let Sienna's butt air out a bit. Unfortunately, I chose the wrong time. I returned to the living room to find her sitting on her drawing board with bits of pooh all over. Heaving a sigh of relief that it was just a tiny evacuation, I cleaned her and the board up. However, just a little while ago, after continuing to smell poop and continuing to check her diaper to see if there wasn't a follow-up, I found a small mound tucked away in a corner. Bleck!

That's how well things are going for me this morning.

But I suppose things could have been much worse if she'd decided to dig into that pile.)

(Plus, we're battling a little spot of diaper rash.)

Sienna's Food List

Toddling

2010-07-08 06:45:47

Last night Sienna became a proper toddler. Throughout the evening, she would toddle a few steps from one point to another. New vistas of activity will soon open for her, I'm sure.

15-month-old pediatrician visit

2010-09-28 10:38:27

Sienna’s doing great.

Kiera would be proud

2010-09-29 07:38:28

I was telling the pediatrician yesterday that we think Sienna might be a natural vegetarian, since she really doesn't seem to like eating meat, perhaps because of the texture. He asked, "Even chicken?" "Even chicken," I answered.

Unaware of this conversation, YK decided to make chicken fingers for dinner. Also, unaware of the conversation, Sienna proceeded to devour them.

I guess all kids like chicken fingers.

Sienna broke the camera.

2010-10-15 09:51:38

We will not be able to post new pictures for a while. Sienna so wanted to see how the camera worked and at the end of the research, the camera died dutifully.

I see you~

Back from the pediatrician.
She got her last immunization until she's four.

She's had a stomach bug for a couple of days and goes back and forth between lively and listless. I'm sure she's almost better, though.

She got loads of wonderful gifts for Christmas. The favorite so far is the Zoobs.

Sienna on 소나무길

Sienna at Changchung Temple

2011-06-22 08:50:37

Sienna came to Wuhan, China for her birthday. The day after her birthday we visited Changchung Temple, a Daoist temple.

Jumping

2011-06-24 09:26:47

As of today, Sienna is able to solidly jump and get both feet off the ground.

Never before seen footage

2011-06-27 02:30:59

So here's Sienna's latest photo shoot, courtesy Wuhan University Hospital. Sunday night she fell out of bed at 2:30am. She must have landed on her shoulder, causing a hairline fracture. Fortunately, someone was able to take us to the emergency room, where we learned that she had fractured her collar bone. The following morning the doctor who checked it out said that she should be fine within two to four weeks. But from the way she's been acting today, we would never have known the bone was fractured if we hadn't gone to the hospital. She shows no sign of pain and tries to use her arm all the time (though she may slightly favor the other). [So special thanks to Max and Zhang Sifei who made sure we got proper care in the middle of the night.]
