The most exciting one is her first tooth!!! She FINALLY has a tooth poking through. She's 10 months and I didn't think she would ever get any teeth, even the girl that I'm working with always joked that we're going to have to get her some dentures. I think that explains why she was being such a clingy, needy baby last week. I thought it was just because she was getting attached to me being in her classroom all the time! I noticed it Saturday when I was wiping her down after she ate lunch and when I was wiping her mouth and saw it and said "Oh my gosh you have a tooth!" It was a weird feeling, my little girl is growing up WAY too fast. I called Colton and told him and he said "what?! A real tooth?" Ever since it poked through she has been completely fine, even in her classroom. So really her first tooth experience wasn't bad at all, I just hope all the others are that easy.
The second one is her first baseball game. Us, my mom and dad and my brothers and their families all got together labor day weekend and went to watch a Round Rock Express game. It was so fun and Korbyn did awesome, and thankfully it wasn't too hot. We sat on the first base line and we knew the sun was going to be right in our eyes but it was only bad for a little bit when it was setting. I was a nervous wreck the entire time though. ALL the foul balls were always headed our way! I think it was the second pitch when a foul came bee line towards us and actually hit someone literally two rows down and a few seats from us! They were ok though :) Naturally my eyes couldn't be on the ball the entire time because I was watching Korbyn so every time I would see everyone's head look up into the sky and hear "watch out!" I tried to cover her as much as I could and would just grit my teeth hoping it wouldn't hit us. Next time we'll have to sit in a safer spot, but it did keep us on our toes. If my mom would ever email me the picture that she took of us I'll post it :)
The third one is not so good, she got her first spanking! Ok, it wasn't a real "spanking" but it's the closest she's ever gotten to one. We don't really spank or hit her on the hand...yet. I'm totally for spanking your child when it's appropriate, but I think you have to be careful not to overdue the little smacks because then it's not a big deal when they really need it (in my opinion). I've started taking a bath with Korbyn in the evening just because it's so much easier. Before I would always give her a bath, put her to bed and then get in the shower and go to bed myself, well HELLO! She likes to play with her toys a lot in the tub so when I'm done bathing the both of us I'll get out and dry off and get dressed and I let her play for those few minutes and then I get her out etc. Well here lately she's been standing up in the bathtub and hanging on to the side. I'm all for her standing up but not in that bathtub, that's just a disaster waiting to happen. So she would do it and I would walk over to her and set her back down and tell her "no" and then walk away. Well I expected her to do it a lot more before she realized what I wanted her to do, but I didn't expect her to do what she actually does. If I'm not looking directly at her she'll slowly stand up with a huge smile on her face and just wait for me to look at her, and if I don't look at her right away the little turd will slap her hand on the tub to get my attention! And she does this without taking her eyes off of me! So after telling her "no" and then turning around trying not to laugh probably ten times within a minute I went over told her no and gave her a little smack on her butt, set her down and she just looked up at me and smiled and continued to do it again! I hope and pray that she is not one of the 15% of kids (I read it in a book somewhere) who are born to defy all the rules given to them and push their boundaries all of the time. She will definitely be a handful, I have no doubt in my mind about that, but as a parent you just want your kids to listen and do what you say the first time and every time after that...haha! I know I'm dreaming :)
