8 Months

Corbin is getting so big. It seems like yesterday we were just bringing him home from the hospital. Where has the time gone? He is doing something new everyday. I never want to leave just so I won't miss out on those things. He is such a happy baby all of the time we are very lucky. He started clapping the other night at my nieces' dance concert. He loves to give five, and he is starting to crawl a little bit. He loves the Christmas lights, shiny presents, and my tree. He has been pretty good not to touch though. He still loves doing his head stands and is starting to copy things we do or say like saying shhh and trying to blow or whistle. He also is starting to give kisses ....open mouth, but still kisses. We are trying to work on that.

Thanksgiving in Oregon

The week before Thanksgiving, we went to Oregon to spend time with Jeremy's family. We thought it was a fluke that we only had to stop once on the way up so that we could feed Corbin. We had a great time with all of the family that was there and with those that came up as well. We had Thanksgiving at Kristin and Marlon's and had a great time. We only had to stop once on the way back as well. So much for the fluke...

Corbin's First Trip to Oregon

For the week of Thanksgiving, we took Corbin for his first trip to Oregon to stay at Jeremy's Parent's house. Not only was he able to meet lots of family, but we were able to have a lot of fun while we were there. One day Uncle Dean brought his horses and the wagon over and we went on a wagon ride. Corbin loved to watch Dean's dog Handy running all over the wagon, and started to pet him when we put Corbin on Dean's lap for a picture.

Corbin also was able to take his first four-wheeler ride. He wasn't too sure about it at first, but then began to love it. He stared and stared at all the animals that were at Uncle Dean's house. Dean has rabbits, horses, cows, and even quail and chickens.

We were hoping that he would have another first before we left. Just before going, Corbin learned how to get up on his hands and knees and rock back and forth. I kept telling him that he had to either learn to crawl or cut a tooth... He didn't do either. He did, however learn to do a head-stand kind of, that left some good red marks on his forehead.

Three Months Difference

We spent the week of Thanksgiving in Oregon at Kathy & Burdette's. We were able to see our nephew Maddox for the first time. It is interesting to see the difference between the two with the three months difference in age. We put the two together on a chair and it was so cute. There were times that I worried that Corbin was going to maul Maddox, but it all went well. Maddox was way cute and I loved that he is still cuddly. I really miss that about Corbin.

We also were able to spend time with Jeremy's cousin Karli and her son Grayson. Grayson is three months older than Corbin and is adorable. The difference in age was less apparent with Grayson than it was with Maddox other than Grayson is crawling and can say a few things. Grayson and Corbin also looked about the same age. It was so cute to see how much he loved animals. He is such a cutie. They also seemed to get along pretty well so that was nice.

The trip was too short, and unfortunately, we ran out of time. We wish we could have spent more time with both Karli and Erin. It was great to see and spend time with everyone.

Seven Months Old

Corbin is now seven months. He just got his first cold, which is pretty sad to watch. He has been happy though. He has also proven to be the greatest little shopper right now. He will shop for hours as long as he can sit in his stroller and look around. I am hoping that he gets a few teeth soon, because he is such a big drooler.

Family Pictures

We had family Pictures taken a few weeks ago. It turned out to be a really cold day. Corbin was such a trooper though. Do to the cold weather we had to go back the next week and do some more because Corbin's nose and ears were too red. Corbin did not think our photographer was very exciting compared to anything else that was going on around us. All in all, I think they turned out pretty good considering.


If you can't tell we think this boy is pretty cute.

Halloween

For Halloween this year Corbin was a Pirate and Jeremy was WT. We had our ward trunk or treat right across the street from our house, so that was nice. Nick and Tara and Nat and Greg's kids came to our trunk or treat. Then we all went down to my parents' house for dinner and some more trick or treating. Here are some pictures of everyone but Brayden in their costumes. We could not get him to pose for a picture. It was a great night.
