Sitina and I have been home for a week. Seven days. That's it. Seems like we've been together forever. In the few days we've been back in the States, many firsts have taken center stage. Here are a few, the pictures will have to tell the story. This new mama is tired.
Sitina's first exploration of her cousin, Eve.

Sitina's first experiment with food
(rice cereal is close enough).

Sitina's first hat
(that's she doesn't pull off--mustn't mess the hair, mama).

Sitina's first bath in her very own tub.


Sitina's first visit to her pediatrician, Dr. Alice.

Sitina being read to by her cousin, Mimi
(in the very same chair I read to Mimi in just a few years ago).

And, Sitina snuggling in with her pups, Lander and Cleo.

More later, I promise. As with all firsts, there are more that can't be captured on film and certainly not on the blog; but can be swallowed whole in person. Time to go snuggle with my daughter and catch a few more firsts...

Hi Melissa;
Thank you for sharing her with us (me ;-) Love the bath shot with the water and her hair in her face...too cute.
Go breathe her in...she is a beauty. How do you pronounce her name, its beautiful. Is it Ethiopian?

Most excellent update of firsts. Wonderful to share with everyone, and more importantly, to have this all chronicled for Sitina in the future.
Ditto on the pic with Lander and Cleo...a classic and worthy of a big prize in a photo contest!
So beautiful!
