President's Weekend

To take advantage of the extended weekend, we went to St. George with friends. It was great to have Kylee and Zack go with us because they are so good with Corbin and he loves them.

Corbin was a trooper on the drive down. When we got to the house, we were playing with him and notice something in his mouth... He finally cut his first tooth. Jeremy says, "He's a real boy now." We also found out that Corbin' s favorite toy down there was just crawling under the coffee table.
While we were there, we went to some of the homes in the Parade of Homes. We love to see the new and creative things that people put into their homes. One house was over 15,000 square feet. The basement of the home had a basketball court, racquetball court, weight room, putting green, and rock wall. Quite the house...
Kylee's sister Shelese, her husband Quinn, and their friends Natalie and Clay were also down in St. George, so we spent Saturday and Sunday night talking and getting to know them better. Against Jeremy and Zack's wishes, Kylee and I created our own Newlywed Game to get to know each other better and make things fun... It turned out surprisingly well. Jeremy and I won of course. It was just nice to be able to get away with friends and do some shopping.

We reluctantly left yesterday afternoon to come home so Corbin could see my parents before their trip. Corbin only took about a 30 minute nap, but was great. He just chilled in his carseat and read his books. We didn't have to stop once on the way home.

10 Months

I guess you can call us slackers for not posting anything since Corbin's 9 month check-up. Things have been a little busy with me going back to work for tax season.

Corbin is getting used to a baby sitter that isn't family. He stays upstairs from where I work during the day. I have found that in most cases, it makes things easier if I don't go up and visit. The first few days weren't the best, but he is now getting along great with her and the other kids.

We are still working on the stairs with Corbin. He is way too brave, and will climb the stairs constantly, but struggles to get down the right way.

Corbin pulls himself up on everything and is able to balance until he realizes that nothing is holding him up. He then allows himself to fall onto his rear to start crawling. Jeremy tries to trick him into taking steps, but he realizes that he isn't being physically supported and gives up.

I think we have been completely blessed and fortunate to have such a fantastic son... Especially for our first.
