Love this GIGGLE!!

Corbin has started to giggle and of course smile ALL the time!! But, he seems to tone it down the second we get the camera out!! So, this is the best we could get for now!!

Halloween Pictures part one 2009

Trick or Treating bags, guess they will get them filled up next year ;)

Mr. Giraffe fell asleep.

This little piggy is getting sleepy!!

Momma's little piggy!!

Caroline loves to ride all the rides, somehow mommy squeezed in to this one to hold her.

Blue-eyed boy

Here are my sweet babies in their Halloween attire. We didn't do any trick or treating or party going because sweet Caroline was very sick. So, we just stayed around the house. We went to the Boo at the Zoo for a few hours before Halloween. More sister and brother Halloween costume pics to come :)

Caroline is feeling better!!

Finally feeling better!!

Poor baby wasn't feeling good this day :(

She kept looking for this pea when she dropped it, silly girl it was in your belly button.

Felt good enough to have a blueberry pancake!!

Poor Caroline has been sick with the H1N1 flu. Thankfully, we got it very early, so she never really got very bad. We all took a round of Tamiflu, except for Corbin. We are so thankful that Corbin did not get sick. We had to miss all of the Halloween festivities :( We did not get any pictures of them together since we had to keep Corbin far away from Caroline, so I know this is silly but I am going to put them in their costume this weekend and take some pictures of them together. I know if I don't I will regret not doing it for Corbin's first Halloween :) So check back next week of the cutest pig and giraffe ever. I do have a couple of them at Boo at the Zoo, but I want to get some better pics. Here are some random 15.5 month Caroline pictures.

Corbin and Caroline

Caroline Halloween 2008
Corbin Halloween 2009

Here are some pics of Corbin and Caroline at Halloween almost the same age, Caroline was just about 2.5 weeks older this time last year.

I love this sweet BOY so much!!

Not happy about tummy time.
Okay, now I see my sister that makes everything better :)

So sweet!! Caroline wore this at Halloween last year :) I will have to post some pics of them side by side.

Look at how long I am!!

Corbin gave mommy and daddy a rough month or two being very, very fussy. But, once he hit the 3-month mark he is the happiest and most content baby ever!! Please stop growing so fast little man!! Corbin is much leaner and longer than Caroline at this age.

15-month Random Pictures

Here are just a few tartar sauce face shots and Caroline's new obsession in the kitchen pulling all the pizza pan, muffin trays, etc from the bottom drawer.

Caroline loves tarter sauce!!

We got take out from the Cock of the Walk last week and Caroline couldn't get enough tarter sauce. She loved her catfish dinner.

Caroline's First fair ride!!

We took Caroline and Corbin to the Arkansas state fair. I will post pictures later. This is a video of Caroline's first ever fair ride. Yes, I went through a whole tub of wet ones, kept her hands scrubbed constantly.

Corbin 9-weeks old

We always try to video Corbin smiling and cooing, but as soon as the camera comes out he gets serious. David got a few little coos from him.

Caroline's 15-month update

Such a big girl.

Realized I tried to sneak a bow in her hair.

In a zone.

Can't seem to get a picture where she will stand still for a second.

Caroline is changing so much everyday. I try to write or video all the new things that she is doing, but that is so hard with two little ones.

15-month Stats:

Weight 24 lbs 10 oz (50 percentile)

Length 30 7/8 (50 percentile)

Head (can't remember but it was 25 percentile)

She scared David and I to death at her 15-month checkup. After her shots, she started crying like always, but she never took a breath. So, I grabbed her to comfort her and she went limp and turned blue and purple. I had never experienced that before, so I will know next time to blow in her face. The doctor came running in and reassured me it was common. But, it still scared me so much. I will be prepared next time and I will only allow one shot per visit.

Some things Caroline is doing at 15 months:

*Walking and running everywhere

*Mimicks everything David and I do

*Still sleeps 11-12 hours at night and usually two naps, but the late afternoon one is hit and miss.

*Has 12 teeth, 4 bottom, 4 top and 4 molars. The molars have been very hard on her coming in.

*Hair is getting much darker and finally starting to grow a little

*Favorite words: Banana-"nana", Shoes-"shus", momma, dadda, Uh-Oh-"O-O", Cow-"mmmm", Dog-"ddd", Ball, Outside-"ousite" and lots of other words that she says daily but it is her own language at the moment. I was a little concerned about her lack of words, but her pediatrician reassured me after he evaluated her she has great talking skills, we just can't understand everything right now.

*She learned to open the pantry door, so we are going to have to latch it up top.

*Understands almost everything we say to her, she will throw things in the trash, untie her shoe, go get any toy we ask her, point out objects in books. Pretty amazing what all that little brain can hold.

*Also loves to point her finger at me and say no-no, cute right now, not so much in a few months.

*Loves to eat unless she is cutting a tooth (some days I struggle to get her to eat, but I think that is normal for a toddler-some favorites are banana, avocados, beef stew, cheese, tuna casserole, carrots, green beans, blueberry pancakes, oatmeal, yogurt and her splurge I give her a couple of bites of Yarnell's Pumpkin Pie ice cream :) I know she is going to love Thanksgiving dinner this year.

*Very picky about drinking whole milk straight. When she was going through a no eating period, I made a huge mistake and gave her a sip of vanilla pedisure. I know what was I thinking, but I just wanted to make sure she was getting her nutrients. Well, now I have to put in a little vanilla pediasure with her milk. She LOVES ice water.

*Loves closing and opening doors, better at closing them right now.

*Wants to give mommy, daddy, brother, katie and lacey kisses 24/7

*Her most favorite thing right now is playing outside, she would live outside if I would let her. It has been really hard with all the rain, but she is always at the door wanting to go out.

*Obsessed with playing with her belly button.

*Knows and will point to ours or her belly, nose, mouth, teeth, ears, eyes, hair, foot, hand, fingers, toes and of course belly buttons.

I will probably think of lots to add. I really need to start blogging more so I don't forget all the funny things she is doing right now.

Brother always needs a paci......

Caroline always gives Corbin good morning kisses.
She is actually trying to get Corbin her paci, thank goodness he doesn't like that kind.

Bathtime is so much fun, but I know once Corbin can sit up, they are going to play and play each night in the bath.

or so big sister thinks :) Caroline literally thinks Corbin is a real life baby doll. She is always giving him kisses, trying to pick him up, burp him, put a paci in his mouth (but most of the time it goes in his ear, eye, nose, etc.). No matter what kind of mood Corbin is in, he always smiles so big when he sees Caroline. It melts my heart!!!

Corbin 2-month stats

Yay, I am going to be able to post Corbin's two-month stats before he actually turns 3-months old tomorrow. What, I can't believe he is already three months old!!! Corbin was very fussy there for awhile, but just in the last couple of weeks he has been the best baby. He only fusses if he is hungry or fighting sleep. He loves to smile and coo. Corbin does a little laugh, but no actual giggles yet :) He usually goes to bed around 7-8pm, I wake him around 10 or 11 for a power feed then he sleeps until 2-3 am, gets fed and then goes back to sleep until 6 or 7am. Corbin is still in our room, but we are thinking around 5-6 months to move him to his crib.

He did great with his two-month shots.

Weight 10 lbs 13 oz (25-50 percentile)

Height 22 7/8 inches (50-75 percentile)

Head 15 1/8 inches (25 percentile)

Here are some pics of Corbin from weeks 9-10.

Caroline loves her baby brother!!

Daddy with his two babies!!

Always trying to pick him up!!

Tickle Corbin's toes.

I promise to update both of my sweet babies 2-month and 15-month check up stats soon. Here are some sweet pictures of Caroline and Corbin. She is so in love with her brother and he just smiles at Caroline. They are going to be best friends very soon!!

Yay, for Girls Night!!

Me, Joslin and Carol

I was in need of a girl's night very badly!! So, I met Joslin and Carol downtown to watch the game. I had so much fun girlies, let's do it again real soon!!

I really need to get some pics of the babies together!!

2-months

14-months

But, it is impossible when I am home alone with them :) Here are some cute pics from this morning. I love my babies so much, I am so BLESSED!!!

I knew I had more pictures from Grammy's visit!!

Looks like Caroline and Corbin were both done with the pictures :)
Grammy with her two sweet grandbabies.

Corbin loves to cuddle with Grammy.

David and Grammy hanging outside.

It has been a little overwhelming trying to go through all the pictures that we have taken the past month or so. Here are some more pictures from David's mom visit (grammy). They were taken with her camera, ignore the dates :) So, Corbin was right at 4 weeks old.

Working on it!!

I have been trying to get Corbin on video cooing and smiling, it is the most precious sound ever :) However, as soon as I attempt to do it with the video this is what happens. I will eventually get it on video. It is way more loud when he coos that Caroline was at this age.

Caroline playing with her stroller!!

Caroline loves playing with her baby doll stroller. As you can see, she decided to sit in it and broke it already!!

Mr. Handsome Man!!

I love my handsome little man!! He will be two months old tomorrow, where does the time go???

Caroline dancing!!

Caroline loved the Fab Five on America's Got Talent, so I recorded the episode and she loves dancing to them. She usually gets way more into it, but we never have the video close by and if we leave to go get it, she follows :)

Just hanging out at home!!

Corbin 7-weeks old
14 months

Here are just a few of Corbin and Caroline :)

Caroline and Great-Grandma!!

Here is a picture of Caroline and Great-Grandma. Caroline became very fond of her, fast!!
