Corinne's first visit to the beach was wonderful, the water temperature was great and she really liked "swimming" in the ocean. For the most part we just tried to keep sand off of her hands and face. It was quite a feat but she didn't seem to mind staying clean! While we were on vacation Michael and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary. We went to Charley's Crab for dinner and really enjoyed having Cori there with us.
Just before we left for vacation Corinne started to crawl! She is so excited about her new skill! When we were on vacation she mastered pulling up on things! For now we have the living room sectioned off and baby proofed so she has the run of the room. We can only keep her in one place for a very short time, she is into everything! Our big girl has also transitioned into a convertable car sear which Grandma and Grandpa Barts bought her. It's the safest seat on the market and made here in Indiana!
Last week Mommy joined the gym where Cori can go hang out with other kids in the play room. I was apprehensive about leaving her 20 yards away from me with a complete stranger. But everything was fine and when I came back to get her she was talking and standing on the guy watching her! He said she was trying to get into the other baby's car seat and all crawling all over the place. I'm glad it wasn't traumatic for her!
Today we met our friends Teri and Catie Cochran at the Carmel Library for some story and play time. Corinne really enjoyed seeing other kids and singing and clapping. I think her favorite part was the bubble machine at the end!
We are getting ready for Halloween, Cori is going to be a Lady Bug! This costume is so cute if I could put her in it everyday I would!
For now we are cleaning out closets and cabinets to make room for all of Cori's baby stuff that she has grown out of so fast! We are also looking forward to the Holidays. They will be extra special this year because of our new little Larson. Love to all!
