Korbyn at about 2 days old.....3lbs 14oz...
So tiny, so fragile. I was scared to death. The Dr. made a quick decision to go ahead and have Korbyn born 5 weeks early, because he just wasn't growing anymore inside me. At first I was so ready, and then all these questions start to set in when I realized it was really going to happen. I was really going to be a mommy and Curtis was really going to be a daddy. WOW! Will my baby be okay? Will I be a good mother? Am I really ready to take on all the challenges that motherhood brings? And then I laid, shaking as the doctor's cut me open, at that point more worried about how my baby would be when he came out. That he would breathe okay, and wouldn't have to be put on any kind of support. Praying that God would make every single thing okay and give me the strength to deal with anything that would come up. About 5 or 10 minutes after they started, I was looking at Curtis, and he looked down at me and start to cry, I knew Korbyn was here. I couldn't see him and didn't even know he was out. Then I looked over to my left and saw this tiny baby with his hands and feet in the air, crying, and I couldn't help but tear up because he was MY baby! They wrapped him up and brought him over to me. I just kissed him with tears in my eyes. I can't explain that feeling. I still get that feeling when I look at him. Those of you who are parents know what I'm talking about. For those of you who aren't parents....look forward to it, it is the best feeling in the world. God answered my prayers and Korbyn was never on any type of Oxygen, feeding tubes, etc. Even after the Dr. told us Korbyn would be in the hospital for 5 weeks. (till his due date) he was out in 10 days. God is awesome! Babies are such a blessing. I have been so blessed to have a healthy baby who is growing and developing perfectly.

Still little and still in preemie clothes. I am adding a little video so you can hear his cry. It was so soft. I could barely hear him. It seems loud because my sister was filming right in his face!

4 months...around 12lbs
5 months..... Happy Halloween! I did his pictures at home...For all of you wondering where I got these done....It is by my Canon Rebel XTI that Curtis bought me for Christmas '07 when he was overseas. 
6 Months...This was the first time he ever used a sippie cup, and he did really good. He also started sitting up this month. 
7 months.... Merry Christmas!
8 months.....This month Daddy had to get his eye surgery. PRK. So he doesn't have to wear glasses or contacts anymore. The surgery was a complete success and now his vision is 20/15. We spent a week with Aunt B and Uncle Tom in San Antonio. Visited the Rainforest Cafe (which was a blast--after Korbyn realized the animals weren't real and stopped crying.) Walked the Riverwalk and went to the San Antonio Zoo.
9 months... He is 19lbs exactly right now, 29.5 inches tall. Korbyn is now a pro-crawler. He waves and says "hi". Claps constantly and tries to say "yay" when he does. He has said "dada" twice and "mama" once. Stands up by holding on to the trail in his crib (today he got brave and let go--only to fall down). He is extremely tickilish (expecially on his sides). He has the cutest laugh I have ever heard in my entire lifetime. He shakes his head no at everything when he is sitting in his high chair and in a shopping cart. But will also do that when I say something to him. I think he has a great understanding of what "no" means...but thinks it is funny, cause he laughs at me everytime I say it to him. He is into absolutely EVERYTHING he shouldn't be... Don't worry, we have child-proofed the apartment. If you can't calm him down, give him a spoon..doesn't matter what kind, he will shut up instantly. Plastic ones are preferrable for mommy! He is a stinker! But I love him more and more everyday!
