Korri has started to smile! She has been doing it for about a week, but up until the last couple days, it seemed completely random (still not very consistent). When auntie NaeNae was here this weekend, Korri smiled at her and will do it on and off when she is looking at you. I love it. Of course, I try to grab the camera and then she won't do it any more. Oh, well. I LOVE that she is interacting. I think that is when they stop being a newborn and start being a person. My baby's growing up!
Korri hadn't pooped since yesterday afternoon. I was concerned, so I got online at 5am this morning (exactly what I wanted to be doing at that time!) and the consensus seems to be that breastfed babies, once they are over a month old, can go several days and in some cases up to a week without pooping and it is considered fine. Up until now, she has pooped every time she ate, and this is a change. So, I thought to myself as we were leaving for class, "Self, maybe you should run upstairs and grab an extra outfit for Korri in case there is a poopsplosion." I answered myself, "No, she hasn't pooped through yet and we are running late." WRONG ANSWER! We weren't at class for more than 20 minutes and she pooped all over everything! I had to take her clothes off and wrap her naked in a blanket! I felt like a terrible mom for not being more prepared, but all ended up being fine. I guess it is time to start bringing a diaper bag! Why does it seem like this blog is turning into a blog about poop? Sheesh. Sorry about that.
Speaking of class, today was the first class of the new spring session. It is the same time, place and teachers for us, but I'm so super excited to have a lot of our "old" friends back in our class! This is the group that we had last spring and have kept in contact with monthly play dates every since. I just love this group of kids and moms. Yay! Should make for a really fun spring. Although, I'm bummed we don't have class next week and the following week is spring break. What am I going to do with Finn for two full weeks?!?!
The other day, Korri was crying and I was in the kitchen. By the time I got to the living room she had stopped crying...because she had her soothie in her mouth! Finn had gotten her pacifier and given it to her! It completely and totally melted my heart. I then told him we have to be careful when giving it to the baby for obvious reasons, but I think it is a testament to his loving nature. My sweet, helpful boy!

Pooping...I remember those days. Vince would poop about every 3rd or 4th day. Then he got an ear infection, went on antibiotics, and has barely not pooped since....we're finally to about every 4th diaper change again!! Can't wait to see you all again....maybe when we're feeling better!!!
