Her First Year

I thought it would be fun to show a picture from each month of her first year. Oh, and here are her stats...she's growing so fast. In her 12th month, she weighs 21 lbs. 14 oz. (50-75th%) and is 31" long (95%th), so she long and lean(ish). Anyway, here's our sweet little Angel:






This last pic is from her 12 month pics. I had a really hard time trying to pick just one picture; they were all so cute!!!! My cousin AC took them; she really is talented. Thanks, AC! The pictures are ADORABLE!!!!

Family Birthday Party

And the celebrating continued. After her mini party with Momma and Daddy, she had a family bday on Saturday. Auntie Em was so very sweet and made the cutest duck cake and duck candies. Thanks so much Auntie Em! Auntie Anne was soooo helpful that day because Momma and Emmie had a lot to do before the party and Auntie Anne helped keep Corrina entertained. Corrina had such a wonderful time seeing all her family who came so far to celebrate with her (especially Grandpa Bob, because they share a birthday!) and opening presents and eating more cake and sweets. She sure enjoyed the attention and thought she'd keep all eyes on her by taking her first couple of steps all by herself! We are so proud of you baby girl! Here are some pics from the party. As you can see, she didn't care much for her bday hat, but she loved the sweets and riding with her wagon with her new toys.

Happy 1st Birthday, Little Angel

Okay, I know it's late, but December bdays are tough. Talk about ridiculously busy. But finally, I'm posting some pics from Corrina's first bday. Her actual bday was last week, Thursday. Unfortunately, I left for work early, early, early, so I didn't get to make her a fun bday breakfast, but Jimmy and I were both able to be home from work at around noon, so the rest of the day was all about Corrina. We took her to Chucky Cheese to get some lunch and play games. She just LOVED Chucky. She sat there and laughed at that mouse and wanted to touch him. Then back home for a nice nap, and when she woke up, we gave her some cake. She really tried to blow out the candle; it was sooo cute! She loved the cake, of course. Then, we went swimming because Corrina just loves to swim. She sits in the water then lets herself fall back into the water, covering her face and everything. She comes up, laughs, and falls back again. She definitely enjoys being in the water. By then, she was exhausted but had just enough energy to open her present from Momma and Daddy. I can't believe she's one! My little sweet pea is growing too fast.

Here are some pics from Chucky Cheese:

Sharing cake with Momma. And, here's Corrina's reaction to opening her Curious George doll. I just LOVE the expression on her face, but if you coulda heard her...she just said, "OOOO..."

What a fun bday! I think she had a great time, and she was certainly tired at the end of the day. Happy Birthday, sweet love. You brought so much joy and laughter into our lives and we LOVE you soooo much!

Where does the time go...

I'm just trying to do a little catch-up. I haven't posted in so long (been incredibly busy), and our little girl just keeps growing like crazy, doing new things every day, always making us laugh. Since I don't have all night to recap the last few weeks, I'll just post some Thanksgiving pics to show Corrina's first Thanksgiving meal. We went to Pawpaw Dave's and Grandma Dee's house for the weekend and ate lots of food. We ate our first big meal at Grandpa and Grandma Cox's and played with lots of cousins. Then, we rested our tummies for the next big meal at Aunt DC's and Uncle FC's. After that meal, more playing with lots of cousins. We LOVE our Family!!!

Here's Pawpaw and Corrina

Daddy, Momma, and Corrina

Corrina just loves to dance. Aunt DC had a Santa that played music and danced, as well as Snowmen that did the same, so of course, Corrina had to dance with them!


Cousin BC getting so big!


More pics from the weekend. Corrina was obsessed with the fire. She kept wanting to climb up on the bricks to get closer. She'd reach for the fire then say, "Ha.." (translation "hot")


Reading books with Pawpaw and Deedaw


Helping Deedaw wash dishes; she really likes to help with the dishes (hope that lasts a long time)


Thought this pic was cute!

Our Little Ladybug

We celebrated Halloween a little early this year, first at Grandma Dee and Papaw Dave's then Trunk-or-Treat at church on Sunday. Corrina laughed through the whole evening on Sunday, seeing all her buddies in fun costumes. She was such a trooper that day because after church we went with the teens to the pumpkin patch, then on to the corn maze, and finally back to the church for Trunk-or-Treat. She enjoyed the whole day and wasn't grumpy at all. Here's our little lady bug:
