Changes

I cannot believe how much our little girl has changed and how much she has grown. She is still as tiny as ever, but not near as little as what she used to be. I have put all her newborn clothes away and as I did, I just stared at them, trying to remember her being that tiny. I can't, for the life of me, remember how that tiny little body felt in my arms. Thank goodness we have TONS of pictures!That Paci was so HUGE on her!

She still has those crazy toes :)

We love you, baby girl and all your changes!

Happy First Birthday!

My beautiful niece turns ONE today!

She is such an amazing little girl. She is so smart, and absolutely the sweetest, most loving, and spunky little toddler!

She adores her BFF, Korbyn. She loves to poke at her. LOL!

Marley had a cupcake/princess party on the 23rd. She had a lot of fun! She had her very own cake, ofcourse!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARLEY JADE!

We love you and we cannot wait to watch you grow!!

Welcome Back Uncle Aaron!

Dear Uncle Aaron, I cannot wait to meet you! I have waited my whole entire life!! I just know you are going to LOVE me and think that I am really someone speacial (because I am!). You just wait and see!

You and Auntie Erin will want to take me home with you and buy me lots and lots of toys...but you just simply can't, my mommy and daddy would miss me wayyy too much (but I am positive that they won't decline the toys!). So instead, we all just have to promise eachother that we will visit... often!!

I am so anxious that I hug your picture all the time!

And then I try to eat it! *

I Love you Uncle Aaron!

Love, your beautiful niece, Korbyn

* No picture was harmed during this shoot :)

Cheese Please!!

Miss Korbyn is teething... So we gave her some cold, un-opened CHEESE! She loved chewing on it, after she kind of figured it out. I think she prefers the cheese over her toys that are actually made for teething. Hey, whatever makes the girl happy! :)

We've got a Sucker!

Daddy tried teaching Korbyn to suck her thumb when she was a newborn(because she could not sleep with out a paci and would lose it). She was not a big fan then. She has just recently started and can't seem to get enough! Cute!

No Sleep

I am not used to this no sleep thing. Korbyn used to sleep all through the night. It was amazing! Her transition to soy formula has been rough on her. She was awake a lot last night because her poor belly hurt. She would wake up and cry and "pass gas". I feel so bad for our baby girl. But I know this will pass, the same thing happened when we transitioned her to the formula she is on now. On a happy note, we would like to thank Grammy and Grampoo-pa (Sorry Shannon, still searching for the right name, but this is all that has been said lately) for the very yummy dinner last night! Also, here is a picture of Korbyn with her peace sign nighty(from Auntie Nichi) on. This sleeper is Daddy's new favorite one!

Kinda ok

We tried the new rice spoon feeding last night. It went kinda ok. She hated it at first because she was straving (like usual) and wanted her bottle and bottle only!

We got some down by going back and forth. We would give her some rice then wash it down with the beloved bottle.

Then it turend out kinda ok. She was starting to get used to it. She was a mess! We took a bath, read a story, then she fell asleep within 10 mins.!! It usually takes her a good hour to fall asleep. She slept the whole night! We did not hear one peep from her!

This rice stuff is kinda ok... who am I kidding?!? This stuff is AMAZING!

Yesterday

Yesterday we saw the doctor. We love taking Korbyn to her well visits (except the shot part, makes me want to cry) We love her doctor! Yesterday she told us lots of good news! She said we have a "very healthy bambino". We can now start spoon feeding with rice! We may also start to slowly switch her to soy formula (half the cost of the one she is on now!) YAY!! Korbyn, at 4 months, weighs 14 pounds and 7 ounces and is 24 1/2 inches long. She is in the 70th percentile for height and the 75th for weight. She is getting so big!

Snip It

Here is a snip it about our life. Snip it???.... is that the right phrase? Oh well, my blog, my words...right?! Anyway, I am not much of a writer at all. Never have been good at this stuff. I am the type of person that uses the google tool bar as a spellcheck! I just want to give everyone a chance to watch our baby grow into the beautiful woman I know she is going to be... but through pictures and words. I hope everyone will enjoy this as much as I will, but that may be impossible because I am going to enjoy it rather MUCH!

Sam and I dated eachother throughout high school. It was love at first sight. lol! I found out we were pregnant at age 19 and Sam was only 17, yikes! I had an awesome labor and delivery! Sam was amazing throughout the whole process. And we could not have asked for better family and friends. We love each and every one of you! We had our baby girl Korbyn on September 17, 2009. It has been rough at moments but it is the absolute best thing that has ever happened to us!
