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
