My Baby's Growing Up

I haven't blogged in a while. Not long after the teaser post for Christmas pictures, our computer bluescreened. I'm REALLY hoping we can fix it because otherwise I'll be losing a LOT of pictures of Corbin from the past year or so, and so in the meantime blogging has, as usual, fallen to the wayside. I decided to do a quick update from Christmas until now, using pictures that I've taken on my cell phone. Some of them are terrible quality, but at least I have things to look back on, right? :)

DECEMBER:

If there's two things Corbin loves, it's her skateboard and her books. Here she combines her two hobbies.

Corbin also loves drawing, and lately has become interested in drawing faces and animals. This was one of her first distinctive faces. (It's a pirate with an eyepatch!)

Corbi-lou, being silly, probably wishing it wasn't December and that she could go to the pool!

Watching Olivia, skateboard close by.


JANUARY:

Corbin got a GIANT tutu for Christmas, along with some dress-up jewelry. Here she is playing around in her accessories.

I love this picture because she looks like such a baby hipster, haha. Check the tights/legwarmers!

Honey Bee-otch has returned to the rink, and Corbin finds my skates and helmet very fascinating! Future derby dame?

Getting ready to head outside for a walk on a chilly day!


FEBRUARY:

Corbin is finally PACI-FREE! I never thought the day would come, but when the paci went missing and the parents were exhausted and it was time for bed, we figured it was a good of a time as any to start. It was relatively painless at first, but she has shown her extreme displeasure by tumulting right into "Terrible Two's."

A teacher friend of mine gave some books and animal masks to Corbin. Here she's a leopard! (Corbin insisted she was a kangaroo.)

Another face drawing. This one she told us had teeth, a tongue, and ears. She has since drawn a hippo (on the wall in our bedroom in red pen) and a goldfish (outside with sidewalk chalk). Seems she has followed in her parents' footsteps with her love of reading and drawing!

Last weekend we traveled to Atlanta so I could attend the GSTA conference. Corbin, for the first time, slept in a regular bed.

Hanging out on the balcony at our hotel, eating gummy worms and loving the view of downtown ATL.

Saturday I spent the day with my Athens friend Emma and her daughter Dejanae. We enjoyed lunch at Steak n Shake, yum!

The mysterious cow. This cow appeared out of NO WHERE in Corbin's arms while we were out shopping. She loved it, hugged it, kissed it, and called it her baby. There was no way I was leaving the Mall of Georgia without it.

Corbin and her cow, which she named Madison. Yes, like our dog.

Corbin and her new frenemy, Abby. We hoped they'd get along and play, but it turns out they wanted nothing to do with each other! Hopefully their next meeting will be more pleasant!

Another thing Corbin gets from mommy and daddy is her love of sushi, especially fish eggs. We requested some for her at Ru San's in Athens, and she DEVOURED THEM. I wonder if she'll hate us when we tell her about this when she's older? Haha.

And it's getting about time to start POTTY TRAINING! Our Athens friends Adrian and Maggie gave us an extra potty they had bought for Abby but didn't need. We're trying to get her used to the idea now, and hopefully get her started soon! I've already found her some cute Yo Gabba Gabba big girl panties!


Well, that puts us up to date! Corbin grows bigger, more beautiful, and more talkative with each day. It's hard to believe that her birthday is in less than two months and she'll be THREE!!! Like they say, time flies when you're having fun! Birthday party at the beach this year, and it's going to be PIRATE THEMED!! Yarrrr!
