Teething & Target

Wednesday we had an appointment with our pediatrician to talk about Corbin's teething. Of course I have read up on how you should handle teething and I've asked for lots of advice from other moms I know, but I wanted to hear from our doctor what she personally recommended. I really like her and she has yet to disappoint me, so I was really looking forward to this appointment.

So she came in, checked Corbin, said she was DEFINITELY teething, and checked her ears to make sure there was no infection, as ear infections can be common during the teething process. She told us Baby Tylenol was okay every four hours as needed, Baby Orajel doesn't do any good, and to get some teething crackers for her to gnaw on. Everything was great!

Also, Corbin weighed in at 13lbs even. Such a big girl!


Hanging out with daddy while waiting for Dr. Merritt.


Always in such a good mood!

The next day we went to Target to return some Huggies and exchange them for Pampers, our preferred diaper. We've tried Huggies before, but they give her diaper rash! And don't even get me started on store brand diapers! THAT was a fiasco that involved soaking PJs, soaking baby, soaking sheets on my bed and in the crib, and a very, very angry mommy at 5am.

While getting our Pampers, we looked around the baby section because now that Corbin is holding herself up so well, I wanted to get her more age-appropriate toy. We saw the perfect one, too! They had it up on display so Corbin could "test drive" it. I think she liked what she saw whole-heartedly!






Corbin was so cute bouncing her little legs up and down in that thing! Not to mention she wanted to chew on it. We also loved that it matched all of the other Rainforest-themed stuff that we have! Unfortunately, the price tag was a little disheartening. It costs $90 in store. I'm HOPING to maybe get it for her this weekend, though, one way or the other. I want her to have it so bad!

[Also, please note that Corbin's hair is out of control! It's so unmanageable! It wants to fall straight down her face in a point making her look like Baby Dracula! I try to brush it to the side in a cute little swirl, but that never lasts very long. I guess I'm just going to have to start clipping bows in it everyday so it will look decent!]

We also tried on some dazzling shades, and of course they HAD to be pink!


Yeah, not so sure about these!


Think I'd rather get the cute Hello Kitty ones that I saw at Academy!

And we have a fun weekend to look forward to because we're going to visit Granny and Granddaddy, and hopefully see a bunch of aunts! We have to take Aunt Ashley and Nanna school clothes shopping tomorrow. It's going to be loads of fun! :D

Aww! She's so cute! You should totally get the jumperoo. I got one for Max before he was even hardly able to use it and he loves it.
I've got alot of the rainforest collection already, and plan on getting the highchair soon too!
What's really neat about the jumperoo is that you can adjust it to 3 different levels and they say you can use it until your baby is about 1 year old.
So, has Corbin had her first baby biscuit yet? Max hasn't had one yet, but I have started giving him some baby food and rice/oatmeal. He really loves it and it makes it easier for me when I'm at work (since he won't take a dang bottle) lol.

ah, teething. i remember it well (wisdom teeth). the four that i had coming in were killing me. i can only imagine what it's like having all of your teeth come in at once.

ps- i think it's funny that corbin is a "big" girl at 13 lbs. i was a monster child, weighing almost 10 lbs, at birth. haha.

I am SO happy to have found your blog! It is super cute! Corbi-Lou is such a pretty girl and seems very happy. My kids have LOVED their Jumperoo thingy. I always drop hints to grandparents about that kind of thing. :) Have you ever looked at Craigslist? There is usually lots of baby stuff on there and it's usually well priced because people are ready to get rid of it. Just an idea...
