Corinne

When I think of Corinne, I laugh. She is a sassy little spit fire with loads of attitude and spunk. She's normally running around in an over sized shirt, no pants, one butt cheek hanging out of her diaper, and her Gabba Gabba shoes on. Her hair is always disheveled and crazy, even though I try repeatedly throughout the day to put it up in pig tails. Taylor was almost always a very obedient child but we're finding Corinne to be.....spirited. She's always been a passionate little girl, and she's embracing her terrible twos with gusto. Time outs are a joke, and any smack on the hand is greeted with laughter. LAUGHTER! Taylor bawls her eyes out when she's in trouble, but Corinne can't keep a straight face. I have to admit, it's one of the things that we love about her so much. She's feisty. Feisty and adorable and I love her more than I can say. She's always been very affectionate and loving, despite being sort of a brute. Right after biting my shoulder, she'll apologize and kiss me with great sincerity. She's a klutz and a dare devil as well. Bouncing off of walls (literally), and jumping off of anything and everything. She loves her family and Taylor is her absolute best friend. When I catch them playing together and laughing, it makes me happier than anything else in this world.



At 2 years old, Corinne is a talker and loves the sound of her own voice. At home, she never stops talking or singing (and whining). I love listening to her belt out a song with her speech impediment, which makes it even cuter. She can count to 17 and knows all her colors, yellow being her favorite. She has a definite opinion about what she wears too. Always having a say in what I put on her. Her favorite games are hide and seek and finding monsters. She plays with my ears when she's tired, and hates sleeping in her crib. Daddy can do no wrong in her eyes, and from 4 o'clock on, she's waiting for him to walk in the door.



People used to stop me when she was a baby to tell me how unbelievably cute she was. Fat and rolly, with the prettiest little smile. She continues to grow into a beautiful little girl and we're so lucky to have her in our family.


PS- Wouldn't normally post video of my kids in the bath, but I always catch her singing in there.
