Corbin is mostly a carbon copy of his daddy, in both looks and personality. But we recently took this picture one night while we were playing and I wonder: does he look a little like me?
I think his facial expressions resemble what I do sometimes, but that’s about it. This baby is his daddy’s (and on same days that’s ok with me ;).
This year was Corbin’s first Easter! We had a weekend packed full of fun family events.
Dying Easter eggs was our first big event. Corbin did a nice job of gently plopping the eggs into the color.
Dressed and ready for church. Corbin’s suit was ADORABLE, and I really could have eaten him up.
Egg hunt! Well more like picking up eggs that we in open sight and putting them in a bucket. But hey, it was a good time for Corbin:)
Then we had to round out the weekend with a bunny cupcake of course!
Corbin had a terrific Easter celebrating with all of our family. I have to say that not only did we have a great time, Corbin was so worn out today that he slept from 6:00 p.m. until 8:00 a.m. and then took a 2 hour nap in the afternoon. That is a testament to how hard Corbin played and celebrated this weekend.
Corbin had a momentous day on Friday. He got his first haircut!
Surprisingly, he did really well. I had prepared myself for a very unpleasant experience; I had a triple layer of deodorant on, ate a hearty breakfast, and did some stretches before I went. I thought for sure we would have to pin this kid down. But nope, he pretty much just sat there…wow, what a nice surprise!
“What in the world are you doing to me now people?”
“So I just sit here and chew on a comb…”
“and play with purple clippies? Ok, can do.”
“Hooray for me and my first haircut! Umm, momma, why are you in this picture with me?”
This is my new view these days…
We were able to turn Corbin’s car seat around last week since he has met both the age and weight requirements.
It’s been SO fun to turn around and see his sweet face. He is constantly looking about and interested in his surroundings as we drive.
Corbin also digs the music! He’s quite the dancer in the car.
I am enjoying this new view and as for Corbin he’s thrilled about the change as well (can’t you tell by the pictures? ;).
Many people have said that we need to get a dog for Corbin. While I think Corbin would love to have a dog, we the parents would not. :) So, although we have not gotten Corbin a real dog, he does have one that he is quite fond of and for now seems to be content with.
Here are some activities that Corbin and his dog, Puddles, do together.
Watch the world go by out the window.
Zoom off to unknown destinations.
Enjoy a good book.
Play with cars and have a laugh.
This boy and his dog are very good friends!
Corbin had a wonderful birthday party to celebrate his first birthday. We had a great time visiting with friends and family.
The theme of the party was The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle. This is his favorite book, so it seemed like an appropriate theme.
We started the party off with a rousing quiz game. Guests answered 15 questions about Corbin’s first year of life such as how much he weighs now, when he got his first tooth, and what his favorite food is.
Then it was time for cake! We were unsure what Corbin would do with the cake. Would he smash it, be hesitant, messy, neat…?
He started off with a finger poke or two…
And then he decided that cake is a good thing and dove in.
Everyone else enjoyed cake, ice cream, fruit, and drinks while Corbin opened his birthday gifts. Well, he “helped” open his gifts;)
Thanks for all who came to help celebrate!
