Wow! What can I say? Time goes more quickly and things seem to change a lot more often with a baby in the house. Wasn't it just yesterday that we brought her home and had no idea what to do with her? Now she is full of smiles and we can't seem to have enough fun with her. We just had her two month appointment and she is headed in the right direction. She came in just under 11 pounds and 22 inches. It's hard to believe that some babies are born that big! Lucky for me, Korina was a bit smaller. She was all smiles for the doctor until the nurse came in and gave her some immunizations. Our poor baby had no idea what was coming, but she managed to forget the whole incident in about 10 minutes. It was heartbreaking to listen to her cry, but at the same time she is so cute when her bottom lip quivers.
Over the past two months, our lives have revolved around Korina and for good reason. As parents, we enjoy spending hours just looking at her and making her smile. Her smiles are the best reward after sleepless nights, spit-up on our shirts and cleaning up when the diapers didn't keep everything in like they are supposed to. Everyday we learn a little bit more about her personality and we fall in love with her funny habits. Lucky for us, she seems to have i
nherited Colby's mild temperament when it comes to most things. One exception is feeding time. When she is hungry, it's already too late to make a bottle. She is past being reasonable and the bottle needed to be in her mouth 5 minutes ago. Then you try and burp her and she will fight with everything she has. I think that's how she's gained most of her muscle! Finally, the bottle will be empty, her belly will be full and she is all smiles again. I guess that will be the cycle she continues for the next couple of months. We are happy to see that she is gaining steadily and the rolls on her arms and legs are proof.
We ended up blessing her on July 19th since we had some family in from out of town and it turned out very nice. We made sure she had been fed and she managed to fall asleep
during the blessing with the pacifier in. Colby did such a great job and gave her a wonderful blessing. She looked so adorable when Colby held her up after he had finished. It's hard to see our little baby grow up so quickly, but at the same time, it is so exciting to see what she is learning to do all by herself. She is holding her head up and grasping on to the rattle. I will really miss being able to cuddle her in my arms and have her fall asleep on my shoulder. Everyday is something new and enjoyable with her in the house and we have been so lucky to have been blessed with such a sweet angel in our family. We look forward to the future and the memories we will make.
