New Photos

Just some more photo evidence that we have the cutest baby of all time...

Oh...and I have a super cute husband, too. The above nap allowed me to unload the dishwasher. Or fold a load of laundry...or some other really tough task lately.

This is a photo of one of my favorite "mommy moments" so far.

This is my super alert ready to play baby...at 11:30 PM...of course.

We are doing great. Corbin is truly a laidback and relaxed baby who makes this new job of parenthood much easier than I think people think it should be. Of course, it is all I have to do right now. When I am grading papers and all that stuff, too, I may feel a bit differently.

Which reminds me --

I went in to work today to do a bit of computer stuff to help my substitute. I will go in for a a couple of hours next week, but then I will be off until the week of Thanksgiving. It feels very weird. Very very weird. But I am excited to have this time with Corbin. :-)

Photos

So, I wanted to share with you some of my favorite photos from our first 13 days of parenthood.

Corbin always seems to hold his hands in the funniest positions while he sleeps.

Introducing a first toy. It squeaks. Corbin turned his head towards it the first time I showed it to him. And then turned away from it every time after. I have a feeling that I will feel similar towards squeaking toys right around the time he begins to like them. :-)

Corbin and I ventured out on Tuesday to eat lunch with Tom at the art studio. On our way back, we found ourselves stuck in construction traffic a short few minutes from our home. Well, usually, a short few minutes. Corbin was hungry. And tired. And screaming as we sat for 15 minutes two different times. I have to admit that I still thought he was awfully cute!

Tom and I took Corbin out to the mall last week. I like this photo of Tom pushing the stroller!

And this is my favorite one. First of all, he's wide awake in this one. (Note: it is about midnight, by the way.) But, even more, I love this pose. I think he is meditating. :-)

That's all for now. Things are going well. Honest!

Introductions

Tom and I would like to introduce all of you to the newest blogging member of our family. Okay, so he probably is not going to blog yet, but I bet our blogs get a lot more interesting now. And definitely a heck of a lot cuter.

So, here is...

Corbin Charles Cinquini. Born July 30 at 9:07 PM. A whopping 6 lbs 1 oz and 19.5 inches.

Here he is after just a few minutes after joining us on Saturday night.

Our first family portrait.

My men. Aren't they so good looking?

And here he is dressed in his first real outfit ready to head home from the hospital. This outfit came with shorts, but they are way too big right now. Someday...newborn outfits will fit right. :-)

So, we are home. Here it all begins...
