Wordless Wednesday

Collin’s Birthday

This weekend we traveled to Oklahoma to celebrate Collin’s 2^nd birthday!

Corbin had bunches of fun playing balloons with his cousin Collin.

Of course Corbin spotted a wall full of windows and had to spend time peering out; this boy LOVES windows!

Corbin also obliged Collin and wore a birthday hat to show his support and love for this special birthday event. He wasn’t thrilled about the hat, but he took it like a man and kept it on for seconds.

Happy birthday Collin!

Out Numbered

Corbin and I go to a small playgroup at our church and he has a blast playing with his little buddies…all girl buddies!  There is not a single boy in the group.  He’s surrounded by little ladies to play with and he doesn’t seem to mind one bit:)

We love going to our playgroup and having time with the ladies!

11 Months

Corbin, you turned 11 months old today.

In honor of this occasion I think it’s time for another interview to gain insight into Corbin’s thoughts (the last one was at his 3 month birthday).

Ok, so here we go.  Corbin let’s begin.  Corbin, I’m over here ready to ask you some questions. Corbin…

Umm, Corbin?

Wait, Corbin! The interview is just getting started!  Does this mean you are deferring from answer my questions?

Well, I guess we’ll let you be for now.

At 11 months, sitting still is not something that Corbin does much of these days.  He’s always on the move interested in discovering and learning about the world around him.

Corbin is cruising along walls and furniture.  Also, he has been standing on his own for seconds at a time.  And one of his favorite activities this month has been able to walk while holding on to our hands.  All of these activities are signs that Corbin is working on walking soon.

 

Corbin, happy 11 months! 

Happy Birthday, Mommy!

Happy Birthday to you, Mommy,
You're one of a kind!
I logged into your computer,
but I hope that you won't mind.

Thanks for taking me outside
for peaceful afternoon walks.
Thanks for cleaning my messes,
I know that there's a lot.

Thanks for being patient
when I'm in a cranky mood.
Thank you for feeding me
all that delicious food.

Thanks for taking care of me,
when I don't feel so hot.
Thanks for reading me books,
I'm starting to learn a lot!

Thank you for loving me,
each and every day.
And thanks for letting me wish you
a very Happy Birthday!

No Fun!

All that’s been happening in our house is no fun.  Chris and Corbin have been fighting a nasty cold and fever. 

Is that the saddest picture or what?  Poor guy has been having a rough time and no fun.  Dealing with a sick kiddo is the toughest job I’ve ever had to do and it’s the most heartbreaking as well.  It’s hard to hear him cry and cry because he doesn’t feel well :(

Hopefully Corbin and Chris will be healthy soon and having fun!

Corbin and Popeye

Corbin is our modern day Popeye around here.  He is a spinach loving boy! 

“It’s SO good!”
