Meeting Babci and Cousins!

What a weekend of firsts. Corinna's FIRST road trip (she did great!) She met her babci for the first time and 3 of her cousins for the first time. She also rolled over for the first time! She waited until everyone was looking and the camera was nearby and she went for it! We also met a bunch of friends at the playground for a huge group playdate. Oh how times have changed, we used to catch up at a bar, and now we're catching our kids at the park.

We had such a great weekend that we extended our stay and still managed to miss all the memorial day holiday traffic (phew!) We played hard and slept well. Fun, Fun, Fun.

Giggle Girl

Corinna was cracking up at the boys today. Her first super big belly laughs. They were just running up and screaming in front of her, and nothing was funnier.

Corinna is 4 Months Old Today!

You know that saying "Her smile lights up a room"? That is so true about Corinna! Her gummy little adorable smile is just amazing. Everywhere we go, she smiles at everyone and they are instantly in love. Everyone tells me they want to pinch her cheeks. She's such a good baby, we are so lucky. For the most part she's Miss Happy go Lucky. She was fighting off a cold (in this house? Could you imagine?) and she was off a bit earlier this week, but she's doing better now. What a month she had. She ate her first real food, some delicious baby oatmeal mixed with breastmilk. Now, I kinda forgot that I mixed it with breastmilk when I tried to entice Corinna by showing her me eating it. I got a little grossed out having some of my own breastmilk, but I got over it. She found the whole eating experience interesting. She tried it, she loved to hold the spoon, and she tried to keep it in her mouth to no avail. She is young to try food, but you should see her stare and Spike and I when we are eating. She follows the fork from the plate to our mouths. At her last check up she was 17 pounds and 25 inches long. Almost the exact same measurements as her brothers at the same age. She also totally discovered her thumb. She loves to suck her thumb (gets that from mommy). She can calm herself down instantly, and boy, thumb goes in, eyes close..it's awesome for nap time. She helped us celebrate Spike's birthday and her first mother's day! She's looking forward to meeting all her family and friends in Syracuse Memorial

Happy Mother's Day

Aidan performed a little Mother's Day song at preschool yesterday. It was adorable. He couldn't sit still, he was dancing in his seat. Well, we'll just call it dancing ;-)

His project said "I love my mother because....she cooks me dinner." I think he forgot to add the part where he refuses to eat the dinner and whine at the table. But it was so sweet regardless. And I got lots of hugs. It was a surprise and he wouldn't say a word before class.
