First Thanksgiving.

This year i have a lot to be Thankful for!!! Korbyn has changed my life so much and i wouldnt want it any other way. Im so thankful that he was born perfectly healthy...we were told that there was a higher then normal chance of him having down syndrome...that i have such a loving, helpful & supportive family. Its funny how such a little person can make you feel complete and so happy!!

Kelly & Trent came down for the weekend & we had thanksgiving at our new house. I got a picture with my dad and his mom with Korbyn and I to show 4 generations. Im also thankful that my Gramma is doing amazing for beating colon cancer and going through serious surgery at 89 years old! She has her last surgery to put everthing back together December 1st.

..haha looks like Korbyn had his fill of imaging his bottle was a big plate of turkey, mash potatoes & gravy!!!!

Mommy & Baby

Tuesday morning i finally got my hair done!! I was soooooooo excited i needed it really bad. The last time i had it done was probably about 2 or 3 months before i found out i was pregnant...so in other words its been like a year!
Amanda did a really good job i LOVE IT! Thanks Buddy!!!!!

I doubt Korbyn even noticed or cared but atleast we got some cute pictures out of it!

4 Weeks & First Jeans!

Today Korbyn is 4 weeks old!! IDK if you consider that a month or not?? some people say 4 weeks some say on the 23rd...

It was a little colder out today so i decided to see if i had any warmer pants that fit him. Ive been looking for jeans for him but i havent been able to find any 0-3 month ones. They are always either sold out of his size or they dont make them until 6 months. So i went through his 3-6 months stuff and i found a pair of jeans that are lined with fleece that fit him!! They are a little long in the length but they fit him everywhere else. He looks so cute in jeans!!! My baby is growing up so fast!!!

Play Time!

Korbyn has been awake a lot more lately so like any mommy i took advantage of it and took lots of pictures!! Hes been doing "tummy time" for a while now but i hadnt taken any pics of it until today since im usually laying on the floor next to him encouraging him to move his head from side to side.

He absolutely LOVES being on his tummy and excercising his little neck muscles.

We set up his jungle gym today for the first time and he loved that as well. He doesnt reach for any of the toys yet but he loves to stare at them!! Weve put him in his bouncy chair before but he didnt like it...he would just cry as soon as we strapped him in but now he loves it. He hasnt quite figured out that the music plays when he kicks his feet on the music pad but i think he could care less at this point hed rather stare at the 3 little animals on the toy bar.

Growing up too fast...

My lil man is growing up so fast! I can't believe he will be a month (4 weeks) on Thursday.
He is becoming so much more alert and loves to smile. The other day my mom was watching him while i took a shower and got ready...as soon as i went into the living room and he saw me he got the biggest cutest smile on his face and just kept smiling and watching me. My mom said that she can tell he looks at me differently then he looks at her so he definately recognizes me as his Mama!

On Monday morning we were both laying awake in my bed listening to David Archuleta's new CD and i was kind of rocking him in my arms like we were dancing and he laughed for the first time. He had made little noises before when he was smiling but this was a real laugh and sounded all giggly. It was the cutest little laugh i have ever heard in my whole life!!!

Busy Little Bee!

Last week was a busy week for little Korbyn! It started off with the ring from his circumcision falling off on Saturday. It had been hanging on by a little tiny string for 2 days and i was getting worried since it was the 8th day and Dr. Lane said to call if it hadnt falled off by then. I got up to feed and change Korbyn's diaper at about 6:30 and there it was floating around in his diaper!

Then on Sunday morning i was taking his pajamas off and putting on some regular clothes and as soon as i pulled up his little onsie his belly button stump fell out onto the changing table. I was SO EXCITED that both were gone so i could finally give him a Real bath in his cute little bath tub. But off course it was a sunday so i was getting him ready to go watch the Seahawks at Kodys.

First thing monday morning my mom and i gave him his first real bath. He ABSOLUTELY Loved it!!!!!!!!! He just sat there in his tub and smiled and stared at my mom and i as we washed him. Then of course right when we were taking him out he spit up all over his chest and stomach so we washed him again...i think he did it on purpose just to get some extra tub time thats how much he loved getting a bath!!

After that Brooke, Alissa and Brody came over to see us. It was really nice to see Brooke. I've missed her A LOT since her and Aaron moved to Cheney. It was really fun to see the differences between Korbyn and Brody as well. They are about 3 weeks apart and 3 weeks makes a big difference!! Not just in the size differnce but also in how alert Brody was compared to Korbyn. Korbyn still sleeps alot during the day but Brody was wide awake, alert and looking around the entire time they were here. Its gonna be so much fun to see them both grow up play together when they are a little older.

That day was also the first time i left Korbyn alone with Kody. Heidi and I went shopping and Kody had him for about 3 hours. I was really nervous but Kody did a great job...when we got back they were both passed out on the sofa. It was the cutest thing ever!!

Tuesday was Brooke's babyshower in Prosser. I was a little nervous since i hadnt taken Korbyn anywhere other then to Kody's or Darrell's. He did really good though. He did get passed around between Brooke's mom, gramma, and sister which probably helped since he loves being held especially if the person is walking around. Then i had my 2 week OB check up so i left Korbyn with my mom and right when i got back we took Korbyn shopping for the first time!!!!!!!!!!!!! I didnt know what to expect since we really hadnt taken him anywhere yet. He did really good though. He slept the whole time haha. Weve taken him shopping one other time since then but for a longer period of time and he did great again. He just slept until he got hungry then we took him out of the stroller and fed him and then he fell asleep again while we finished shopping and was out until we got home. Looks like i found myself a new shopping buddy!!

In between all the busyness and running around Korbyn of course had time to take a nap with Grampa Jim.

Happy 1st Halloween Baby!

Korbyn's first Halloween was quite an EVENTFUL day!!! I wanted to make sure that he was circumcized as soon as possible because i had been told by other moms that the longer you wait the more cranky the baby will be. So we convinced Dr. Lane to do the procedure when Korbyn was 8 days old...which is the earliest that he would do it. I didnt even realize that it was Halloween until we went into the clinic that morning and all the people had costumes on!!

Heidi came with me and suprisingly it wasnt as painful....for me anyway...as i thought it would be. When Dr Lane brought him out to us he wasnt crying at all! His eyes were really red like he had been balling but he didnt cry in front of me just made little whimpery noises. I thought i was gonna ball my eyes out when they brought him out but i didnt cry at all. I just cried when we changed his diaper the first 2 times afterwards.

OKAY! so i know i havent posted anything for a WHILE...ive been so busy with Korbyn and moving into the new house. I came home from the hospital October 25th and then we moved that thursday thru saturday. We did most of the moving on Halloween except for our beds and stuff we needed the next day. So we got into the house November 1st. Its nice to be in a brand new house!! My room is still in boxes ive had time to unpack when korbyn is sleeping or when my mom is home and watching him...but i just cant get myself to leave him...even if its just with my mom in the other room!! ive made little progress but nothing big. Ive made a point to get it done this weekend!!!

...anyways i havent posted any pictures yet so here are some of his first pictures from at the hospital!
