Teething Is The Pits

Baby Korenna has been going through a rough time...she's teething!  We've had more than a few restless nights due to having a fever caused by teething.  All she wanted me to do was to hold her all night, and if I went to put her down she'd wake up crying.  This was not fun.  Luckily I was able to take a few days off of work to be with her & to catch up on some well deserved sleep!  All is better now...until the next tooth or pair of teeth come in!!

Okay...you can't see them, but they're there!!

Oh, by the way...Greyson was cutting some teeth too!

Little Bitty Pretty One

Today, our baby girl is six months old.  Like her brother; she too cut her two bottom teeth at exactly six months old!  Our babies have had a rough couple of months...Brandon & I too, but ours is due to lack of sleep, theirs is due to ear infections, fevers, bad colds, and teething.  Thank goodness for antibiotics, Vicks (for babies), baby Tylenol, and baby Orajel that has helped everyone to get better!  Through all of this, Korenna had her six month check up.  She weighed 20 lbs., and measured  27 inches long!  In other words, she's a strong, healthy girl!  

 Up & ready to make her move!

 Sitting up all by myself!

 Even when I'm sick, I'm cute...

 Learning to share with my Big Brother...

 He loves me...

 Mommy loves putting these ridiculous headbands on me...but they're cute!  

 A visit from Grandpa Larry...

Finally, some peace & quiet...

When I Get Big, I'll Get Even

Big Brother Greyson and Little Sister Korenna are beginning to interact more and more with each other!  We think it’s so sweet to watch Greyson sprint over to sissy whenever we tell him to, "Go give Sissy a kiss or a hug!"  Korenna gets tickled whenever Greyson does this, and she burst out laughing!  Such sweet moments...Don't get me wrong, Greyson still finds humor in acting like Swiper from Dora the Explorer & swiping Sissy's binky, bottle, and toys away!  He also still wants to poke her in the eye with his finger, put his finger in her mouth, and pull her socks off and run away with them!  Korenna is rolling all over the place, and it’s only a matter of time before she starts crawling!  She’s going to get even…

 

 

Oh Dear, What A Year!

2010 was an exciting year for the Shipley family!  The major highlights for us were…In June we celebrated Greyson's first birthday, and then in July we celebrated the birth of our 2nd child Korenna Lee.  We're blessed to have family, faith, our health, and two healthy, happy babies!  We look forward to the good times that 2011 will bring our way…Happy New Year!
