Some adorable pictures

Classic Coranelle Wide Eyes. No wonder she gets over stimulated!
Shake it sweetie! She's a-dancin'!
More smiles. She's getting a chubbier face- making her look a bit more like me. ;-)
Grams is boring her here.
More dancing!

These pictures are all of Coranelle hanging out with Grams (Heido) while I went over to CostCo to get my annual eye exam so that I can order some contacts. I thought I took care of all of those things before I had Coranelle, but didn't realize that my prescription only lasted a year. Oh well, Coranelle had fun with Grams and Grams got some great photos of her.
We love Coranelle's smiles and happy times in the morning! She is addicting when she smiles that big! She is also growing up a little and she seems to do a little better in the swing and the stroller now. I am not sure if it is because of the zantax or because she is just a bit more content. Whatever the reason, it's nice. She even held up through most of a mommy and me stroller class at the rec center today. She and her little friend Adalaide were super entertaining. As soon as one would fuss, the other would feel empathetic and fuss along with the crier. When Adalaide's parents were over at our house on Saturday, it was the same situation. It will be fun when the two girls are aware of each other and can interact with one another a bit more.
I had another post-pardom moment this weekend. I had received an e-mail from Ryan a month ago about a deck party one of his co-workers was having. He asked if I wanted to go, and I said "sure!". So, I wrote the date down in my planner. But, after the pediatrician fiasco, I decided I needed a new system for keeping track of engagements. So, I transfered everything from my planner to a wall calendar in the bedroom. Now that I am not at work, I look at that much more frequently than my planner. The only problem was... the weeks on my planner go from Mon-Sun. The weeks on the Calendar go from Sunday to Saturday. So, I put the deck party on Fri night instead of Sat. But, I was all ready to go and even had Heidi stay with Coranelle so I could go buy lots of fancy fruit for a good fruit salad to bring. So, Friday night, we loaded up the brownies, the fruit salad and got Coranelle all cute and ready for a party. When we arrived to the party half an hour after it should have started, there were no other cars at the house. And, the hosts were just getting home from work. Ummm, ooops! They got out of their car and looked at us- very confused. They told us the party was Saturday night and we left feeling humiliated. I had another melt down. I wasn't allowing myself to mess up another date or time. I had done it once- how did I screw it up again?! I can look at it now and laugh, but it seemed horrible at the time. Oh well, we made it the next night breifly- with a new fruit salad and blushing faces.
Not much else is new. We are taking Coranelle camping this weekend, so I am really excited for that. I skipped my first feeding yesterday when I went into Boulder for a friend's bachelorette brunch. Ryan successfully fed her a bottle of pumped milk and did great with his daughter. It is nice that I can leave her for more than three hours- if necessary.
Thanks for reading and have a great week!
