Corbin Tells it How It Is

What it is, yo!



The video is a little washed out, since I had to brighten it up. It took place maybe 6 am Wednesday or Thursday so it wasn't entirely light. Right about the same time Mel's folks showed back up (what, 2 weeks ago?) Corbin started getting more vocal. We're both pleased with this, since we've heard that boys are less likely to be talkative than girls are. Anyway we've been aiming to get some footage of it to share with y'all, but Corbin tends to become more interested in the camera than cooing at us when we get it out and start waving it around.

This last week has been Mel's first week back at work. I've been getting up to share in the early morning fun, since we're both heading off to work now. Mel takes the 4:00 feeding, then I take the 5:00 "I'm ready to get up now." Then it's back to Mel after she's had a chance to get somewhat ready, around 6:20 or so. Mel's folks take over around 7:00.

I think the plan is to have the Grandparents Lam here until about September. They've set up their camper in the garage. It's been lovely having them here, they're helping a lot, and we're saving a bundle on childcare.

Oh my goodness what a talker! He is really getting his own personality and it just makes me smile. I am so very happy for you both! And what a great deal for Grandma and Grandpa to help out -- I am envious of the arrangement. You both sound like you must be tired -- but he is just so cool! Way to go! And Mel, happy mother's day.

Happy Mother's Day, Mel!
