Happy 6 Month Birthday!

Korbyn,

You turned 6 months this past Sunday! I cannot believe you are already 1/2 a year old. I better get to planning for that big first birthday. HA! 054

You are probably one of the happiest babies ever. You fuss when you are tired or hungry and that is about it.

I cannot believe how much my heart has grown since you were born. Seeing you and your sister interact makes my heart so happy. You see her and your whole face lights up. You love her goofy singing and jumping around. Believe me she loves doing anything to make you smile. 061

Let’s see what are you up to now…

  • You now weigh 15lbs (10%). You are a little on the smaller side. Although we are not too worried about it. You are a very happy baby. You are 26.5 inches in length (54%).

(Your Mimi bought you Sophie the Giraffe toy. You love it!)

  • You can roll from back to tummy and then from tummy to back. Although you have yet to figure out that rolling could actually get you where you want to go.
  • You are sitting up on your own. I still try to put stuff behind you so that way when you get a little distracted and fall over you don’t hit your head. Oh and because you have learned that you can sit up you really don’t like to be laid down for tummy time anymore. I think you may be one of those babies that just scoots on his bottom to get where he wants to go.

  • Since you have started sitting up you now ride in the grocery cart like a big boy. You like being able to look around and you think you are just so big!
  • You are still eating every 3-4 hours.
  • You started baby food a little over a month ago. You LOVE eating your baby food. I have been making all of it so far. Hopefully I can keep up. So far you have eaten avocados, sweet potatoes, butternut squash, apples, and pears.

  • You usually sleep through the night but here recently you have been waking up once during the night. You usually eat and go right back to sleep. Your bed time is about 7:30 and you wake up for the day between 6-7am usually.

  • This is pretty much how mommy totes you around. We love our Baby K’tan! As you can see here you were having a moody moment while I was trying to vacuum so I just put you in the K’tan and we were all set!  photo 1

  • One funny thing you have started doing is any time I point the camera at you I get a big smile. It is so cute. It’s like you know you are getting your picture taken.

Korby you are so full of energy. I cannot say enough how much you have blessed our lives. Your personality makes us smile so many times a day! You are the sweetest baby and I just can’t get enough of you. In fact, you have only stayed with a babysitter one time and it was only for a couple of hours because I HAD to. However, this weekend you are going to stay with Papaw and Memaw for a few hours while Daddy and I go on a date. I’m already having to mentally prepare myself for this event. HA!

Dance Camp

This past week Jayci attended the dance camp the High School Dance team put on. Thursday night they performed during half-time at the high school game. Let me just say Jayci was SO in her element. Before they performed they all met and she was cheering and jumping and clapping. I think I got a glimpse of my future. It was fun to see her perform.

They were all so cute on the field doing their dance and Jayci said she had SO much fun!

Halloween 2011

Halloween this year is kind of a blur to me. Normally I work Saturday and Sunday night and stay up all day on Monday with Korbyn . Well this weekend I decided to pick up an extra 8 hours on Friday night and not sleep as much on Saturday. Anyway, by the time Monday came I was exhausted but still wanted to do all the festivities. Therefore, I came home changed clothes and got Korbyn ready and we headed to Jayci’s school for her Halloween party. It was so cute. They were all dressed up and got to go trick or treating around the school.

027 After the school party Korbyn and I went home and napped for a couple of hours. Luckily Jay came home and gave me some relief so I got a total of 3 hours of sleep. That evening we went to our church for a little Halloween party they were doing. It was fun. There was a bounce house, face painting, a “haunted” house put on by the teens, a Chili cook off. Which by the way my husband got 4th place in. However, he still stands on the fact if people wouldn’t have cheated then he would have one…HA

These are the only 2 pictures I got of my babies together. After the party, Jay took Jayci Trick-or-Treating around the block. I on the other hand came and put Korbyn to bed and passed out myself at about 8:15. Ha
