growing up

This week Sienna has had her first high chair experience, in the very cool new cafe/restaurant that has opened around the corner from us (The Moon and the Pea on Lark Lane). She thought this was fabulous.... We repeated the experience for her later that evening when Steve and I went out to Tiranos (another new Lark restaurant) for his birthday dinner. The plan for the weekend is to purchase our own high chair, a cot for Sienna and a table so that we can begin the process of weaning with Sienna, myself and Steve all at the dinner table. Rather exciting. And we are hoping that the increase in calories will reduce the nocturnal awakenings, thus making mummy and daddy much happier, with the addition of sleep to our lives.
This week, Sienna has been flipping herself over, enjoying the crawling position (but not crawling) and moving toward her new favourite toy - Clarence crab. She wants to sit up, but is not quite there yet....and keeps toppling over. We dont think it will be much longer!
She has become fascinated by details this week, and loves the Dream Catcher in our bedroom, the gold buttons on one of my tops...and shadows on the wall.
Teeth continue to irritate our little girl, who is constantly dribbling and chewing on anything she can get her hands on....
