Big Sister
Anna has been very sweet with her baby sister, especially lately. She's formed quite the attachment to Silvia in the six short weeks since we brought her home.
The first thing she says when she gets up in the morning is, "Where's Silvia? Wanna go say hi to Silvia!". The other day in the car while Silvia was crying (she always cries in the car, she hates driving), Anna told her, "Don't worry, Silvia, it's okay, we're almost home." She then proceeded to sing her "Twinkle Little Star" and the Silvia version of "Mockingbird".
"Hush little Silvia, don't say a word, Anna's gonna buy you a mockingbird."
Singing is pretty much Anna's favorite activity these days, that and collecting rocks wherever she can get her hands on them. She makes up songs about the things around her. For instance, at dinner last night, she was singing, "Anna's got apple juice and a straaaaaw, and peanut butter and Silvia spit up the miiiiiiiilllk, and Daddy's got the remooooote controllllll...".
Silvia's got her first cold, poor baby. She's miserable and stuffy, but the pediatrician says it's just congestion and she'll hopefully be better soon. She was 10 pounds, 13 ounces when the checked her, she's growing so fast!

One month check-up
We headed out to the pediatrician for Silvia's well check this morning. I tell you, it's a whole different ball game getting two little girls ready to go and out the door. But we're learning.
Silvia's gained almost two pounds in the first month, putting her at 10 lbs, 1 oz today and in the 75th percentile. She's also 75th percentile for height at 21.75 inches. She's no peanut like her big sister, that's for sure. The doctor declared her fit and healthy. She's got a small hernia on her belly button, like Anna, but that will grow over as she gets older. She's also got a little bit of a clogged tear duct in her left eye, but that, too, will get better with time.
It was so fun watching her check-up though, just because it's so different from how Anna was at that age. Silvia has very strong neck control already, but the most amazing thing for me to see is that she stands up. She actually pushes off on her legs and stands when you hold her up. Because of Anna's developmental delay, she never stood, never even put weight on her legs at all until she was 17 months or so. Just because of that prior experience, it makes me feel like Silvia is a Super Baby just becuase she can do this little, and very normal, thing.
