Edward says......

We are very excited and shocked to announce that Baby Corbitt will be here at the end of May/ first of June!! As most of you know, we had to go through fertility treatments the first time we got pregnant and were totally shocked to find out we did it on our own this time!! (Sorry if it's TMI). Edward hasn't fully grasped the whole "baby in Mama's tummy" thing but he seems very concerned to see Mama sick! What a sweet boy! More to come....

18 months and Strep

I know it has been awhile since I have posted, but I guess we've been busy! Edward has had strep twice in the last three weeks. I am glad to be over that!

He turned 18 months on Sunday. I can hardly believe that my baby is growing so quickly! He is so smart,too! He knows where his nose, eyes, ears, tongue, head and toes are. He is constantly talking. Some of his new words are: moon, rat, car, juice, eat, baby, toes, nose, eye, mine, no, cat, juice, milk. I am sure I have either missed a few or repeated myself from the 15 month post. We had our 18 month check up on Monday and everything went well. I feel like the two shots he got were far more traumatic then any of the others. Dr. G even commented on how well Edward talks. He said he talks very well for someone his age (sorry I had to brag a little!).

I have truly loved being able to stay home with him. Not one day is ever the same!! He continues to love playing outside. He loves all things trucks and trains and any other vehicle that moves. He has become very affectionate. He loves to give kisses and hugs, but mainly kisses. Sometimes he will sit with me and kiss me over and over for several minutes. Oh I could eat him up! He certainly has his moments where we throws his tantrums but other than that, he is a sweet boy

LeeAnn Womack

Last Friday Thomas and the rest of the band were invited to open for LeeAnn Womack at Victoryland. For two weeks Thomas and I could barely sleep due to our extreme excitement! What an honor to open for such a big country name. The T&K Band put on a great show and really got the crowd ready for LeeAnn Womack. Her show was great as well! After LeeAnn's show, Thomas and I were able to have a picture taken with her. It was so much fun!!

Unfortunately, just as the show was beginning, my batteries died in my camera. I had to borrow my mom's but most of the pictures were blurry!

Welcome Baby Ally!!

Last Wednesday, September 2nd, Thomas' brother and his wife welcomed their beautiful baby girl into the world. Thomas and I were at the hospital along with Andrea's family and Thomas' parents. Unfortunately Brooke and Edward were not allowed in the hospital due to the H1N1 virus and did not get to meet her until they came home. Ally Elizabeth Corbitt was born September 2, 2009 at 6:05 p.m. She weighed 7 pounds 5 ounces and was 20 inches long. She is so precious. This is our very first niece and cousin to Brooke and Edward. We are soooo excited about the new addition to the Corbitt family!

*Somehow my pictures are out of order. Brooke got to meet her first cousin on Saturday. The two pictures after Brooke were taken in the hospital the day Ally was born and the rest were from Saturday.

Proud Uncle Thomas meeting his first niece!

Meet William!

We are so excited that my brother, Will, and his wife, Jacqueline are expecting their first child in February. This sweet little boy will be, William Alfred Hughes, IV. I am so excited that they have decided to carry on with the name. What an honor for this little boy. I can't wait for Edward to have a boy cousin to get dirty with!!! Family gatherings will never be the same!

On another note, we are anxiously awaiting the arrival of our first niece/cousin any day now. My brother-in-law, John, and his wife, Andrea are about to be first time parents. They are expecting a little girl, Ally Elizabeth. We are so excited and can't wait to meet this sweet girl. Hurry up, Ally!!!! I will be sure to post when she makes her grand debut!

A Day at the River

Last weekend my youngest sister came home from Tuscaloosa for a short break. I took the kids and drove down to Montgomery to spend some time with mom and Hollister. We decided since the weather was perfect, we would go downtown, have lunch and spend the day at the river. We ate lunch at Chris' (a famous hot dog joint) and then headed over to the river. In the last couple of years, the riverfront has been remodeled and is a great place to take kids. They have a small water pad that overlooks the river and the train tracks (Edward's favorite since he seems to be obsessed with trains lately). It was a little cool to be playing in the water, but Brooke and Edward seemed to enjoy it. Edward loved seeing the train and watching the boats.

Biscuits Game

Several weeks ago (the Saturday after Thomas' surgery) we decided we had been cooped up long enough and wanted to get out and do something fun. We had always heard that the Biscuits games were a lot of fun. We invited Thomas' parents to join us. We loaded up and headed to Montgomery. Our first stop was Dreamland. We enjoyed a nice BBQ dinner and then headed across the street to the game. We bought lawn seats because we felt that would be more suitable for Edward since he has difficulty sitting still! We took plenty of chairs, a blanket and lots of trucks! Thomas was still on crutches so he didn't have the pleasure of chasing Edward around the stadium. Pot (Thomas' dad) took Edward to see the train that ran behind the stadium. I believe this is where his love of trains developed. After the game, there was a fireworks show. This was Edward's first time seeing fireworks and I believed he was amazed.
