Baby C:
Corinne is my little chatterbox. She never stops! She is so curious about the world around her and absorbs new information like a sponge. I am pretty sure that I will be going to her theater performances in a few years, as she loves to have the spotlight on herself. She also loves to "help" me with the new baby. She will let me know when Betsey needs a diaper change, that I forgot to use powder, when she believes Betsey needs to eat, and that she's crying. And I love it. Sometimes it drives me up a wall, but mostly I just want to scoop her up and give her hugs and kisses because she is So. Darn. Cute. I can tell that God has big plans for her life already.
Currently, she is obsessed with Mickey Mouse and friends. It is the bane of my existence. I find myself walking around the house singing the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse theme song on a regular basis. She also has a stuffed Mickey and Minnie that she likes to play pretend with. She changes their diapers and feeds them her play food and tucks them into bed at night. We almost lost Minnie to decapitation this week, but thankfully Grammy came to the rescue and sewed her back together! I can't wait to see Corinne's face when we take her to Disneyland for the Halloween party in a couple weeks! Should be great!
Things she is not so obsessed with- The potty. We are trying to potty train, but she screams like a madwoman whenever you put her on the potty. Not even the stickers I bought her seem to bribe her. I'm hoping she comes around sometime soon because I'm so done with having two in diapers.
Baby B:
This little teeny weeny is our newest addition and I can't imagine our family without her. She is a carbon copy of her father (good thing he's cute!) and she is as chunky as can be. She already wants to be a part of everything. She will cry if she is set down somewhere and she can't see what's going on with the rest of the family. She is 10.5 weeks old and changing so much every day! She smiles and laughs and coos and I can't get enough! She is such a good baby and sleeps for about 10-11 hours every night. And she is snuggly. I could just eat her up!
Nixon:
He is our crazy little weenie dog. He loves our new house and his backyard. there is a nice little hill for him to run up and he loves to bark at the dog next door. He is obsessed with Baby C. In the morning, I know she's up because He can hear her and he hops off my bed and cries outside her door. It's precious. They are little buddies. He loves to perch himself on top of our couch in the bay window and sun himself & he hides under our bed when he's had enough play time with Baby C.
Our House:
Or, "The Shire," as we refer to it. We just bought it about 6 months ago and we are still learning all that is involved with home ownership. I love that it has a backyard and its on a hill with a great view of the valley and we can watch the sunset. I love that it has a bay window in the front, which is the perfect place for our Christmas tree! It still needs some work, but it is ours and I am so thankful to God for blessing us with it.
Me:
I don't have much to say except I'm a stay at home mom, part-time substitute teacher who likes photography, music, reading, diet coke, good friends, walking, MOPS, eating, and date nights.
So there is our family. I hope to update this blog with things we're doing, milestones of the little ladies, recipes I like, and adventures of being a mom! Won't you join me?
