Anna Corbin 4 1/2 months

Here is a long overdue update on Anna Corbin. She is absolutely adorable, and I'm sure we couldn't love her any more! She is a very happy, very laid back baby. She sleeps like a champ. 12 hours at night and during the day she takes two naps that are usually two hours each. Sometimes longer. A couple of weeks ago Corbin and I decided it was time to let her cry it out at night. So, I read her a book, swaddled her up, sang her a song, laid her down --- completely prepared for the crying --- and she fell asleep. yep, not a peep. Every night isn't like that, but for the most part, she sleeps, and we don't have to do much for her.
She sleeps well, but eating is a whole different ball game. This sweet girl hates to eat. She screams, thrashes, chokes, and refuses to eat. A few weeks ago she went on strike and didn't eat for more than 24 hours. Severe reflux...ahhh - this is familiar to us, but it doesn't really make it easier. The doc told us a couple of weeks ago that she just wasn't eating enough, and off we went to a specialist. Now, when she won't take her bottle, we're supposed to feed her from a cup. That's right - a cup! And, get this....she LOVES it. Seriously. It's a complete mess, but it seems to be working. What a hoot!!
She loves to roll over. This is her most impressive 'trick.'
And she ADORES her big brother.

you look awesome. you are getting prettier and prettier!!! Anna Corbin is precious and I see so much of Chesson in her. You have the most laid back babies. That is awesome especially since you have to deal with the reflux. how in the world did you get all those diapers for that price. you need to start teaching your ways.
