Meeting Mema

Yesterday morning we packed up the family and headed down to Macon, as I had to take my baby sister school clothes shopping with my Nanna. ("Baby sister" seems like a joke since she's about to be 18 in two months!) It was a long ride, but Corbin does great in the car. Sometimes I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that shortly after she was conceived she was in my tummy riding around in a vehicle for hours and hours everyday...Just a thought!

When we got to Granny and Granddaddy's, Ryan dropped us off to take his brother home. There we hung out with Aunt Ashley for a while, waiting for Granny and Granddaddy to get back with the truck so we could go shopping (whoohoo!).

It got cold and so Corbin became a little cranky. I realized her feet were very cold, so I broke out the diaper bag and found a very cute pair of socks that Emma got for her that she hasn't had the pleasure of wearing yet. They looked TOO cute on her!



The funny thing is, they actually matched the onesie she had on! It had a kitty cat on it that was light pink with dark pink sewn around it. Too cute! Corbin has always been the stylish one! Heehee.

Finally Granny and Granddaddy returned so we took Pop's truck to Nanna's. It was sad driving Pop's truck because the last time I was in it, he was driving it himself! I miss him everyday, and I'm always sad that he never got to meet Corbi-lou. They would have loved each other.

At Nanna's, we saw Aunt Franki, Uncle Richard, and cousin Allison. Franki wanted to keep Corbin while we were shopping, so Nanna, Ashley, and I were off alone to hit the stores before the tax free weekend was over! Even though we were shopping for Ashley, we still managed to sneak in a few cute items for Corbi-lou! We ended up with two outfits that I just couldn't choose between:

THIS tennis dress, which she is currently wearing now (pictures later!), and this outfit from the Cradle Will Rock collection (aptly named, considering the pattern on the outfit!).

After a few hours of fun, we headed back to Nanna's and I took my sleeping child back to Granny's. (Seriously, she slept almost the entire day away! I think it was the long ride. Usually she is awake and happy all day long!) Shortly after, Mema came to visit! It was her first time meeting her newest great-granddaughter.



Meeting Mema! She gushed over how beautiful Corbi-lou was. Of course she's beautiful! :)

Now it's time for kisses!



Oh no, the red lipstick!

TOO LATE!



Sigh. The life of a baby. Heehee.

And TODAY, Granny had me take Corbin up to her job (she works in a doctor's office) so she could show her off to her friends. They loved her, and Corbin loved them, too! She was all coos and smiles and then suddenly...ERUPTION! She was screaming the hospital down! But daddy saved the day because he quickly took action and fixed her the bottle she so desperately wanted.

Peace abruptly resumed. :)

So it's Monday, the start of another wonderful week! Corbin is now three and a half months old! This time flies by so quickly! She's going to be all grown before I know it!

Oh, and as for Aaron sleeping at night (or in general), it's still pretty inconsistent. One night (like last night) he'll go down alright and only wake up once, going right back to sleep, and then other nights (and for naps during the day) he'll "cry it out", fall asleep, wake up in five minutes, and just repeat that for hours. !! So, I guess he's still figuring out how to get himself to sleep and hopefully something clicks soon. But really, I can't complain too much because he's a pleasant baby in every other way, so yeah.

I love the lipstick pictures! I think having kids young is great because they get to meet so much family. I don't remember my great-grands at all but it looks like my kids will know them...and get covered in their lipstick!
