Corinne is growing so fast! For the past couple weeks she's been talking away. Okay, so not real words, except for "hi". I kid you not, she says it all the time, and I swear that she knows what it means. For instance, when Isaac and I drive into town, Corinne sits in her car seat in the back yelling, "Hi!" at us trying to get our attention.
I just LOVE this little girl! Her facial expressions crack me up!! She's still nursing like a champ, and has several diapers a day. It's not an exact science, but I tried getting her approximate weight by standing on the scale with her, she's about 11.5lbs. We missed getting her into her 2 month appointment because the base doctors book up fast, and since that is our only option here, we just have to wait. But we were able to get her shots and she did amazing! She screamed more from the guy hold her leg down than the actual shots.
Corinne has been eating her hands a lot lately, drooling and is sometimes more sensitive--early signs of teething. For example, I was nursing her and had to sneeze. Right after my sneeze she threw down this huge fat lip and started crying. Oh poor thing! Broke my heart and made me want to smile at the same time.
She certainly knows how to tug at mom's heartstrings!
She's also been holding her own head up for some time now. Not perfect, but those muscles are growing strong!
Last week we got her crib in, yippee!! Now we are waiting for her bedding. We also painted her room and picked out some curtains. Nothing really matches or is what I originally had in mind, but that's okay, it's not like we are going to be entertaining people in her room. In fact, it's better for kids to have more colors to look at (I'm totally making this up so I can justify not having a pintrest worthy room, but it makes sense, right?). Either way, I'll put pics up when all is done. Once her room is done, then I just have to work on getting her to sleep in her crib.... I'm 100% sure it will be way harder on me than it will be on her. I'm weak, and I love co-sleeping. I hated it at first, I was scared I would smother her, but I've never come close. For so many many reasons co-sleeping works great for us. But it will be nice to have our bed back again, I'll just miss having her right by me. Guess I have to stop being a baby and grow up sometime ;)
As a family of four, Valentine's Day celebrations are not the same as they were 10 years ago when I celebrated my first Valentine's Day with the love of my life. This year was spent with my daughter. We saw the new Sonic movie, painted pottery and got some cookies at our favorite cookie shop. Later that night was spent making dinner, and turning in early because well, the hubs and little boy were both miserable while battling off colds and sickness. I got to thinking, as someone who only grew up decorating for Christmas, are there really all that many people who go big when it comes to other holidays? I have a cute little banner I put up for each major holiday, but struggle with knowing when to put it up and when to take it down. And how much is too much? This year I saw cute family dinners with all kinds of decked out decor, and that was the first time it ever occurred to me to have a family valentines dinner. I wonder what other ways I hav...
Four our honeymoon, Isaac and I took a four day Carnival cruise out of Long Beach, California to Catalina Island and Ensenada, Mexico. The first day we got up super early to drive from Logan, UT aaaaal the way down to Salt Lake City. One of Isaac's old mission companions was having a baby blessing. It was super awesome because after they invited us over to bbq and they also had some Hatian food (Isaac missed it very much) which was actually pretty yummy.

In Vegas we decided to spend waaaay too much money at the Hard Rock Cafe (I really wanted to go because I had never eaten t...
Two weeks away and I turn 27 (I don't actually feel that old since my husband just turned 25. And I don't feel like he is actually that old since he is just finishing is last year of undergrad school. And unlike Utah, where a lot of guys serve missions so they graduate school later, being from Arizona I'm used to college graduates being younger. Result? My, what would you call it, age that I actually feel is around 23 or 24 years. THREE weeks and a couple of days and I will be in ARIZONA!! I'm so ExCiTeD to see my family and friends! Not looking forward to the HOT weather, but it might actually be a nice break from here since it's suppose to be in the 50's by the time we leave. There are some things in Utah that are growing on me. The weather. Weird, right? I can't really figure it out myself. Normally I LOVE the heat, but I've been retaining a lot of body heat lately, so I am loving the cooler weather. Maybe it's because of the RA or the medici...
