Making time

This weekend was all about making time. I didn't do a single bit of housework. I played, I sang, I held. The three of us (Hallie was gone for the weekend) even took a nap Saturday evening. That NEVER has happened. We ate popcorn for supper. No cooking was done. I enjoyed every last moment. 

Daddy trying to see if Corbin would give him the paci... Ah love <3

He rolled to his side, grabbed the blanket, and began peek-a-boo.

We are getting there!! He was able to spend about a minute at a time sitting up by himself.

We have good days, and we have bad days. Corbin had an awesome weekend of working on those trunk muscles. He played a lot on his side (the therapist will be happy to hear this!) and cooperated most of the time with his exercises. Another battle we have had is Corbin eating things other than pureed baby food. I made oatmeal both mornings this weekend and mixed it with fruit. That is probably the first textured thing he has ever kept down. Normally its a gag and puke reflex. Slowly but surely... Little man also had two firsts this weekend. What doesn't seem like a big deal to most is a huge deal to us. He sat (actually sat!!) in a high chair at a restaurant, and he sat in the shopping cart at a store! Ah-mazing!!

 

We can't forget about little miss. She came home today from being gone since Thursday. Things have been a little rough so far this summer. She has been misbehaving at daycare and throwing fits at home. She came back a different kid. Maybe an extra day apart was what we needed to regroup and start over. We picked her up from Greenfield and stopped for a couple of things at Shopko. Dad gave into her and bought her a slip and slide as well as Sparklers. She had a blast today!! Water, slip and slide, and dish soap provide at least an hour worth of entertainment. She went through 3 boxes of Sparklers tonight. At 9:30 she pleaded with us she still wasn't tired. 

Poor kid :)

 

I love weekends where nothing gets accomplished but laughter and fun. I love weekends where we get to see our families and relax. No care in the world. I love having happy kids!!

I love his new faces!! His smile and laugh are seriously contagious!!
