Corban 1 month

Our sweet Corban is one month old today! It has been a whirlwind of a month.......I am 1 tired momma! But, he is the sweetest thing!

I didn't want to put Sophie through the "chair pictures" again so we will use this frog that Tay Tay gave us to compare his size each month.

 

• You LOVE to eat! It is definitely your favorite
• You must be close (if  not over) 10 lbs
• You are not a big fan of napping 
• You sleep pretty well at night other than to wake up and eat every 2-3 hours
• We have moved you to your crib because you did not like the bassinet (just like sister!)
• You have outgrown newborn clothes and diapers already!
• You love bath time and books
• Your sister loves you  so!!
• We love you to pieces!

 



Lots of Pictures

I need to play a little catch up here and post pictures of our family from the past couple of weeks!

This was me at about 39 weeks with Corban (just for a memory :)

Fun Saturday!

I know I'm almost a week behind and we are about to see another Saturday, but better late than never!

We started last Saturday with a soccer game and the MS walk. Bryant took AK to her game and I took Corban with me to the MS walk. He did great and Anna Kate and Bryant came to the walk after the game. She really enjoyed the bouncy house and band and lots of yummy treats!

Brother slept through most of the walk

 We walked in honor of Dani, who has become such a sweet friend and neighbor to us!

After the walk we headed home for naps and then went to the Dogwood festival and met up with the Meeks' family. There were lots of rides/games for the kids. Anna Kate was very interested in the ponies but wasn't sure that she wanted to ride one. She finally made up her mind and loved it!

There was also a band at the festival that Anna Kate and Connor enjoyed......they also played a little golf with the help of their daddys.

Having fun with daddy!

Soccer and Sweet C

Anna Kate started soccer last Saturday! She did great!

We are just so in love with our sweet Corban. We have had some long nights, but that is to be expected :) He has such a sweet personality and just kind of hangs out unless he is hungry or having his diaper changed!

My heart could burst!! AK lets Corban read with us at night before bed.....this was something I was really looking forward to as it is so important to read to our sweet babies :)

I know these are probably just "gas" smiles but they are sweet!

our first family outing!! We actually found a cart that we could fit both babies and groceries in!!

Aunt Lizzie came to meet C on Monday.....we have been so blessed with friends/family coming to visit and love on our babies and we are so thankful and appreciative for the goodies/meals that have been sent too!

My friends were so great during the labor part of our day! They really helped me get through everything and keep me distracted. I'm so thankful they and our families were there and for all of those thinking of us and praying for us. 

welcome to the world little man!!

I was so thankful Frieda was able to deliver him, just like his big sister......our nurses were wonderful too!

Easter 2013

We had a wonderful Easter weekend! We started by hosting AK's school party. She had a ball!

We did chick-fil-a and cupcakes

 Getting ready to say the blessing

She also participated in her first real egg hunt and did great! She had no trouble figuring out what to do and began sharing her eggs with all of her friends (to the point where I had to tell her to stop b/c she was almost out of eggs!) Sweet girl!

We headed to the beach for Easter Sunday and did church and lunch with my family.....

Another handmade precious dress and sweater from our beloved Aunt Carol!!

this is what we get when we ask her to smile (a big ole' cheeeeeeeeese!)

our very soon to be family of 4

The Easter bunny did stop and leave a few treats :)
