For my blog this week, I'll do a picture update of our week. These first pictures are pictures of the wedding we went to this weekend. Coranelle is not even 5 months old and she has already attended 3 weddings and been invited to 5! Whew! She did a great job. Fortunately, there were other babies at this wedding, so I didn't feel as nervous about her talking or fussing during the ceremony. She did great for about half of the ceremony, then began to fuss. We were sitting near the back, so I just got up quickly and calmed her down in the foyer. Then, we watched the rest of the wedding from the doorway with another baby and her grandmother.
I had to take a picture of these booties because I love them and it was so exciting that they fit her now and even stay on!
These pictures are in reverse order, as always. Here is Coranelle taking a little snooze at the reception. She did fantastic and was happy the entire evening!
My girl and me at the wedding reception this weekend.
All dressed up with daddy!
Our silly pumpkin that Ryan carved. Isn't it great! It already has withered and sunken in. Sad!
"Helping" daddy carve the pumpkin on Friday. Coranelle was enjoying the pumpkin guts. We had a special date night/family night at home. Ryan picked up some Chili's and we carved a pumpkin and had a yummy dessert. Chili' s has this deal that allows you to get an appetizer, 2 entrees and a fancy dessert for $20. We enjoyed our night in as a family. I cannot wait until Coranelle is old enough to enjoy the baked pumpkin seeds and help carving faces into the pumpkins.
We're also practicing sitting up. She is folding in half pretty well, but I think we'll get there. She is using her hands to balance right now, but it won't be long until I have a sitter!
Here's my little one, reading already. It's fun to watch her study the pictures and flip the pages.
She also narrates her own story, in her own little language.
Rolling over again and again and again. She rolled 16 times in a row the other day!
Sporting her Halloween onesie.
And rolling over!We are currently trying to break Coranelle's bottle strike, which has been frustrating. She refuses a bottle, even if it is breast milk. So, it is our goal to get to her take it again. If I could have a break from nursing her a few times a week, I would love it. I don't mind nursing, but it seems to be really wearing me out! It is hard to be the only one that can feed her. It is also tiring for Ryan that she fusses and battles him so hard when he offers her a bottle.
Also, I am losing my hair like crazy. When will this stop. It is everywhere! All over my pillow and shirts and always stuck in Coranelle's little hands. It's making me crazy!
Not much else is new. We are still working on getting the exterior of the house painted. I cannot wait until it is done and we can call it quits for big projects for a while. I cannot be of much help to Ryan because Coranelle doesn't do too well on her own for extended periods of time. Imagine that! :) So, I don't feel like I get to see my hubby much on weekend because he is always outside working. But, he is doing a great job taking care of us and working hard to keep our home in good shape and I appreciate that. But, we would also all benefit from a little vacation soon! I also want to take Coranelle to the pool and see how she does in a bathing suit and water. I want to try her in a baby swing at the park. Needless to say, I am ready to be done working and on to playing!
Hope you are all doing well. I've got a pumpkin cake to frost and some chicken pasole to finish before nap time is over. We've got my brother and Rachael coming over for dinner and I am looking forward to that!

Oh, the hair loss! I feel your pain, I lost it a lot around my temples (it looked like devil horns the way the hair was missing) and the hair is really short there. My hair dresser says it's totally normal, but annoying, I know!
The pictures of Coranelle are too cute! She's getting so big! We'll have to get together sometime soon!
wow, coranelle sure has samuel beat in the sitting/rolling department! i loved the pictures of her reading and wished that i could hear her "talking" (have you ever tried uploading videos onto blogger?)
and i am in the middle of hair loss as well! i don't remember losing this much with tristan, but OH MY GOODNESS, its like a whole wig comes off my head whenever i have a shower and brush my hair! i too am always pulling strands form in between samuel's little fingers. i know that for some women it lasts until they are done breastfeeding, but i'm pretty sure that it only lasted a couple of months for me last time. still, at this point i'm wondering if i'm going to have any hair left on my head once its all done shedding :)
