"My, How You've Grown!"



SiSi-4657CLush

When Sienna came home from China she and Ruby were almost exactly the same height and weight. In the last year we have really seen Sienna begin to tower over her sister...  Well, Friday it was confirmed!!!  She was at the doctor and measured exactly 48" tall!!!!  She has grown 7" since March, 2010!  WOW!!!  And, to add to that good news, her Hemoglobin was at an all time high on the normal charts!! We are so thankful for this great news for our girl!!  When we brought her home we never imagined she would be transfusion free for this long!   THANK YOU Jesus!!

So why were we at the doctor...? Unfortunately, Sienna is having more dental surgery on Friday, the 29th....  Our special girl has an extra tooth that has to be surgically removed along with another 1-2 teeth on top..   This will be our third summer visit to the hospital for oral surgery...  Hopefully, our last..  Dental surgery is just no fun...

Sienna and I had some time alone last week, and she was up for a photo shoot.  I couldn't resist taking pictures of our tall girl!!  Gaining seven inches is just one of the many ways Sienna Grace has blossomed!  She is a constant reminder to me of what love and trust can do!!

I so thought that second picture was Ruby!! I studied it several minutes and said "Yep...its Ruby"!! I was WRONG!! OMG they are even starting to favor! Sienna, is such a beautiful girl!! Praying for a quick and pain-free oral surgery for Sienna.

I saw someone else thought the same thing. My first thought was LOL, Diana has lost her mind and posted pictures of Ruby! Oh what beautiful girls you have. I am mom to 4 kiddos as well and my 16 year old has a passion like no other regarding caring for the orphans. She follows many blogs and would love to see us adopt again. She follows your blog along with many and we think maybe one more China baby...boy might be in your future???
