Pictures from the birthday party AND the zoo!
I know you are on the edge of your seat!
I'll probably do one post at a time, so just hang tight. I got some good ones. :)
PS. I changed my baby ticker over on the side. Can't believe we're counting down to the SECOND BIRTHDAY now! Holy moley, time flies!

Baby's First Easter!
This past Sunday was our first Easter with our beautiful wonderful amazing baby girl Corbi-lou. So of course I was SUPER EXCITED! She had the super ridiculous hairbow and the adorable blue dress, not to mention the coolest Hello Kitty Easter basket a girl could possibly hope for! It was so fun.
Here she is, chilling with daddy. It was pretty bright outside! A nice change after all the rain we've been getting.
And here we are together. I'm wearing her lamb ears. They were cute, but I think they look better on her! :) (I'm also pretty sure I had them on backwards!)
And the hunt begins! She was a little cranky, so she had her pacifier, but once she realized what was going on, it was quickly forgotten.
Completely fascinated with her first egg! She spent a good two to three minutes examining the egg, without even trying to put it in her mouth! When she realized there were more to play with, there was no stopping her!
The plastic ones were her favorites because she could shake them, making the treats (and sometimes money) inside of them rattle!
I has an egg!!!! She was so happy, she would not stop laughing. :)
She also did not like when I put her eggs in the basket. Those were her eggs, and she wanted to play with them!
Tired out from all the fun and excitement. Not to mention the complete lack of her afternoon nap.
Overflowing with eggs! Which we had to protect from her cousins who were bound and determined to have them!
Alas, she just couldn't stand for the eggs to actually be in the basket. And HEY, what's this cool papery stuff?! Is it edible?
And so we had a fun day! And I had a fun day cleaning up green and pink Easter grass from one end of my living room to the other the next day!
CAN'T WAIT UNTIL SUNDAY! It's her super awesome FIRST BIRTHDAY PARTY...and then Monday....THE ZOO! :D (Shh, don't remind her of Tuesday. It's our one-year shots!)

We Heart Spaghetti! (and Bath-time!)
Today we thought it would be fun to let Corbin feed herself for a change, and since we were having spaghetti for lunch, we thought it would be perfect! We chopped up the noodles really small so that they would be okay for baby, and then strapped her into the chair.
She seemed a bit apprehensive at first like, "Are you really going to let me dive right in?"
But it didn't take her long to get the hang of things (or get spaghetti everywhere)!
Finger-licking good! (She had two helpings!)
Shortly thereafter, the clean-up crew moved in and got to work so we could go hit the bath!
Now it was time for a good bath! (The gross part was carrying her up the stairs and trying to get her diaper off while she was covered in spaghetti sauce and noodles!)
She has tons of toys in the tub. As you can see here, we've got a few members of the Gabba gang, Muno and Foofa.
Brobee is also hanging out, on his pink intertube (aka one of the rings from those stacker things that all children own). Not if Corbin has anything to do with it! (Yes, she IS trying to eat Muno.)
And here's one of her rubber duckies, Kitty. There's also a pink one named Flora (in the bottom right corner of the previous picture). She likes them a lot. And isn't this smile just precious? Can't you tell she just loves the bath?
Afterwards, she was being very sassy, and did NOT want me to put on her diaper.
Finally, it was time to pass out. You wouldn't expect anything else after so much excitement, right?!
That doesn't look too terribly comfortable, if you ask me! But she was snoozing!
Until next time! :D

First Words!
Earlier this week, Corbin said her first words. That's not to say she hasn't been babbling incessantly for these last few months (because seriously, she never shuts up...kinda like her mother, perhaps? Heehee), but she's finally saying words in context.
Surprisingly, they weren't "mama" or "dada" at all!
Her first word is "bye." Complete with a two-handed wave. When she first figured it out, she wouldn't stop saying it for the entire day! If I said, "Bye, bye!" to her, she'd stop whatever she was doing and start whispering (that's what she does when she's really intrigued by something), and then start waving both hands, going "bye, bye, bye, bye..." nonstop. SO STINKING CUTE!
Her next word is "dog." I'm not surprised, considering how much she loves Winston and Madison. They were jumping around and generally being crazy and I started saying, "dog?" and after a few minutes she was repeating the word back to me very clearly. It's so exciting!
I've been trying to get her to say other words, but nothing seems quite as exciting as "bye" (cue two-handed wave) or dog.
OH, AND EXCITMENT...our first Easter is tomorrow, and her birthday in just 8 days!!! I can't wait! Be prepared for an overload of pictures. I've got some good ones of her first self-feeding from this morning, too. She had a baby's favorite...spaghetti! :)
