Swimming

Today was a very fun day. Corinne has caught up on her sleep and seems to be felling better. We went swimming today with Tiffany and Jack and had a great time. She is a very social baby and I am afraid that she is going to be the girl in the class that the teacher always has to tell to be quiet. She was "taking" to anyone who would listen today! When playing with toys this morning she has a train that you put balls in and then they spiral down and come back up. Corinne figured out that you have to push the button to make the balls go again. She is also starting to dance to music and has been "singing" along for about a month now. She really loves music! It is amazing to think eight months ago she was a helpless baby and now she is understanding cause and effect. I am so happy but kind of sad at the same time.

Sleeping troubles

Well the smiling face in the pictures that you saw yesterday is MIA today. She was up multiple times in the night and is just not sleeping well. I have never seen an infant with bags under their eyes but she has them. I don't know whether it is the tooth that is coming in or the stuffy nose that she has had. Hopefully we will move past this stage and get back to happy, healthy baby!

Busy Summer Days

Well my idea of daily posts did not happen but I guess that is what happens when you have an eight month old that is on the move. Corinne has been army crawling for several weeks and is now getting up on her knees but not able to move yet. She is trying to pull herself up to stand and is getting good at that pretty quickly. On Saturday we went to Jeremy's cousin's fifth birthday party and then went to my friend Jodi's 30th birthday party. Then on Sunday we just hung out and relaxed which does not happen very often these days. On Monday Corinne and I had a play date with her new friend Carissa and Hannah. It is funny how as a Mom you met people and become fast friends through having kids. I am loving this time in our lives and it is flying by! Also last night when I left the room Corinne was ready to get out the highchair and said DaDa a couple of times and when that did not work she said MaMa but of course I was not in the room. Today we just hung out and played all day!

Here we go

I thought that this would be an option for keeping everyone up to date on what is going on with our family. Jeremy has been busy at his new job and is really liking it. I have been enjoying my time at home with Corinne and am already dreading going back to school. We have had a very busy week with trips to the zoo with Karey and her niece Lauren on Monday. On Tuesday Tiffany and I made a trip to Jeffersonville to shop with the kids and will probably never do that again with the two kids by ourselves. Corinne also started saying Hi DaDa. Daddy is more then excited. Wednesday Corinne went to her babysitter Dawn's for the first time in a month and a half for a few hours and then we went to Gymboree which Corinne was less then impressed about. Thursday we had several big events Corinne has been combat crawling for a couple of weeks but she got up on her knees and tried to crawl for the first time. She also started to get her first tooth. It is on the bottom left. It is an exciting time and that is what it making it that much harder to think about going back to work.
