the pop-up carnival.

a friend mentioned tea-cups of death. as a joke.

i got so excited, i couldnt contain it.

i texted EJ immediately and told him that i had to take the bigs to the tiny carnival, in plano, that showed up in a parking lot overnight.

aidan had a party on friday. i had a shoot on sat. but yesterday... gorgeous sun, not too chilly.

i knew sawyer would love every ride - and i thought aidan would puke. but despite her original grimace, 2 mins into the swings and she was hooked. they went about 8 times. the man running it kept letting them stay on. the girls were so excited. they would tell the other kids how fun it was and not to be scared. their thrill was the reason i knew i'd love so many pics from last night... pure child excitement.

corbin is 3 months.

everyone seems to like when i compare lol

aidan. or this.
sawyer.
reese.
miller.

and now corbin.

but let me rewind a few weeks.

corbin 10 weeks-1words corbin 11 weeks chair-6words 2014-03-26_002 2014-03-26_001 2014-03-26_003

she is such a blessing to our family. just what everyone needed. even miller wants a piece of her sometimes.

corbin 12 weeks-2words 2014-03-26_004 corbin 12 weeks1

and now she is 3 months old.

8lbs 3oz at her last appt. which was about a week less than 3 months.

C 3 months-5words 2014-03-28_001

she wears newborn/0-3 month clothes.

C 3 months2 C 3 months1

she eats on demand and really that could be 1hr to 4 hrs. she sleeps fairly well during the day and at night - but i couldnt give you times on that, either #baby5problems


she is a happy girl, but happiest in the arms of anyone. me. sisters. nonny/papa. ej. anyone. she just likes to cuddle. or sit up and just be played with that way.


"co'bin laughing!!" reese will holler in the car or from the other room. they all light up with corbin smiles.

but corbin is what reese needs at any time of the day. "i cuddle co'bin?" sometimes miller doesn't want to play. sometimes aidan and sawyer aren't around. but corbin is always ready for reese.

some people had commented, when i was pregnant with corbin, that it was such a bad idea.

that reese needed the attention. that it was selfish when we had a child with medical needs.

but its quite the opposite. corbin is exactly what the doctor ordered for reese.

 ...and what God ordered for this family.
