Lets see, the Doctor's appointment on Tuesday went great. The doc assured me that Korben would be well in two weeks. May 12th we will go back, and x-ray one last time. Hopefully, he will then take his bandage off, and he will be good as new! I can't wait for Korben to have his arm back! However, he seems to be missing it less every day! He is amazing me at how adventurous he is getting! Yesterday, he started walking again. He is standing and walking really well considering his balance is off without his arm. He is standing, and playing with his toys just like old times. I am ridiculously careful with him though. I am always hovered around him, ready to catch him. It makes me so sad to not go to church right now, but if I went, I would just have to stay with him in the nursery. He needs one on one attention right now. And, he really wants MY attention, if we get right down to it!
Wednesday my mom drove Korben and me to Clarksville to meet Aaron half way. We ate at Larry's Pizza and celebrated my birthday in advance since I wouldn't be seeing my mom on my actual birthday.
Who says you need two hands to read a book? We were so impressed with his improvisation!
A tired little boy.
Two weeks from today my mom is taking Kim, Aaron and me on a cruise! We are going to Coco cay, Bahamas, St. Thomas, and St. Maarten. Aaron and I have talked about how excited we are about this trip since December when we found out we were going. Mopsy and Poppy are keeping Korben, and they will have so much fun! Korben will have had his "arm back" almost 5 days when he goes to their house, so I'm sure he will be better than ever! Anyway, I'm telling you all of this so I can tell you about the birthday surprise I got last night (Today is my actual birthday). Aaron said, "So, how many formal nights are there going to be on the cruise?" I say, "two." He says, "And what is it you are wearing again?" So, I go in my closet and pull out two black dresses. He says, "I have a birthday surprise for you, so you need to try on one of those dresses." I'm thinking he bought me shoes or something...I couldn't imagine what he had bought me! Besides, I thought he had already given me my birthday present which was 3 hours worth of ironing (I have gotten so behind these past two weeks!) He made me close my eyes, and THIS is what he gave me.
A black onyx ring! I absolutely LOVE it! I was so surprised! I couldn't have picked out anything better myself. Aaron always picks out things better for me, than I could for myself! He sad he knew how much I liked to wear black for dressy occasions and he knew this would be something special for me to remember I got on my 25th birthday! Amazing, huh? I also got a really, really sappy letter. Don't worry, I'm not going to post it. So, yeah...It has been a great birthday! Korben slept all night, which he hasn't been doing lately. That was Korben's gift to me. We have a marriage banquet tonight at church, which I'm really excited about. Sweet Linda Cain has offered to give Korben the one on one attention he needs during that time so I can attend without worries.
A couple cute Korben stories really quickly. He is obsessed with saying "Hi" and "Hey" right now. He will tell you about 500 times a day with the cutest smile on his face. Well, like I mentioned, he has been waking in the night screaming because he can't turn over. The other night, I jumped out of bed because Korben was screaming his head off. I ran in his room, the screaming instantly stops and he says "HI!" I had to just laugh. He is such a mess. He also has this little red phone that attaches to a play table he has. The other day, I saw him pick it up and put it to his ear and say "Hewwwo? (Korben talk for Hello)" So, I told Aaron about it, and put Korben on the spot today hoping he would do it for him. TWICE in a row, he picked up the phone, put it up to his ear, and say "HEY!" He is so smart! Oh, and just want to say that he is kissing again. The kissing was on hiatus for SEVERAL weeks and I sure missed it. It seems to be back because when I rock him to sleep now he just can't kiss me enough. It melts my heart!
Here are some older pictures from my camera I've been meaning to post. These are some pictures we took in my mom's back yard just a few days before Korben broke his arm. There are also some pictures from a couple weeks ago when I made Korben pizza for the first time. It is soy cheese of course. He LOVED it!
