Sienna's Growing Up!

In the last week or so, Sienna has reached some baby milestones. She's rolling over, sitting facing forward in her stroller, sitting in her high chair, and generally interacting with us in a more purposeful way.

Education

So far, in our new journey in diabetic land, we are still just out the door. We've received his diagnosis and we've been working on educating ourselves, which is piece-y at best.
