RAWR!



Here is Corbin's Halloween costume...hes a dinosaur! And the cutest dino I have ever seen :) Since he is too little for trick or treating, we will just be handing out candy this year. Happy Halloween everyone!

Not much is new with us lately...just enjoying life and tending to a baby 24/7. Corbin is doing really well, except for the fact that he wont sleep through the night lately. He has been waking up at least 2-3 times a night and has been pretty fussy during the day so I think he might be teething? His 4 month check up is on Monday so I will find out then what the deal is. We are getting antsy to feed him rice cereal to keep his tummy fuller so he can get a good, full nights sleep.

My friend Megan and I have decided to take a stab at making our own baby food. If anyone has ever done this and has any good recipes or ideas, please feel free to let me know! (Although I think the recipes are all pretty standard...puree EVERYthing) We are also going to try and each make different things and then trade with each other so it makes things a little easier :) If any of you new mommas want to try this with us we would love to trade food with you!

Here are a couple new pictures from random days at home, our nephews football games, and date night last weekend!

finally an update!

So can you even believe that Corbin is three months old now?? GEEZERS. they grow so fast! I'm not sure how much he weighs now but my arms are getting like way buff so its gotta be a lot. ;) My super sweet hubby brought home a "bumbo" (pretty sure thats what its called..) but its just one of those chairs that helps your baby sit up. Corb looks SO cute in it...i love it! I have gotten him to laugh once...and then its like he just forgot how or something. I just try and remind myself...baby steps!

So on his 3 month birthday (it was actually on September 30th) I took him for a swimming sesh! Mother Nature totally cooperated with us and made it a whopping 90 degree birthday party so we splish splashed around and then exhausted little Corbin took a nap in the shade while I got my last rays on before Fall really starts. I think he will definitely remember this 3 month birthday! :)

Chris and I have been busy trying to get back in shape...yes, both of us got pregnant together one year ago. Chris has been doing the Ultimate body challenge, aka Fat camp...which is 6 days a week! 'Sposed to help you drop like 3o el bees! I have just been trying to go to Idaho Athletic clubs kick boxing and strength training classes. The only problemo...the daycare they have there is SUPER scary. The first time I went there, there were about 11 kids (age 8ish and under) running around in a 10x10 room with ONE adult there to supervise. And this gal had her hands full with a baby...and didn't even acknowledge me. I had to ask her if she even worked there. She gave me a look like "Please...not another kid". Talk about a nightmare. So I dropped Corbin off with her and jumped up the stairs to go work out. JUST KIDDING......I grabbed my precious baby and got the heck out of there! I didn't dare bring him back. But then I realized it was 5:30pm when I went that day so it was probably their busiest time...so I decided I would check again the next time I went to see how busy they were. There were only like 3 kids this time and they were in a different room with a bunch of toys and stuff to play with so I decided to bring him back. One word to describe this second experience. Ghetto!! The class was only an hour long and it started at 12:30. so I figured it would be no big deal. There were a couple of kids playing and Corbin was asleep so I dropped him off and prayed he would not have a runny nose and a poopy diaper by the time I came back to get him. Long story short I come back to get him an hour later and they told me his feets got cold so they put some socks on him. They said he just barely fell back asleep. So I go to pick him up out of the swing (which was not swinging...he was just sitting in it) and pulled the blanket off him and saw the nasty...big...dirty socks this girl put on my little baby! AHHH. She told me they had run out of batteries for the swing...and next time to bring socks. So note to self: don't ever put your child through this again. Luckily he didn't get sick, and he didn't have a poopy diaper.
Now I am switching to boring old work out videos!

That story turned out a lot longer then expected. Oh well...I will upload pictures later so be on the look out!

P.S I am pretty sure our seasons here in the BID are changing. It was cold through May, and it is still warm in October! Is it just me or is this Fall thing a big faker?!!
