Crazy Sleeper

I have been meaning to post about what a crazy sleeper Corbin is. I mean he is a great sleeper, but he is all over his crib. Below are some photos that Jeremy took when Corbin was taking a nap and then how he reacted when the flash woke him up.

For some reason, I can't get the pictures posted turned from the orientation below, sorry...

This last weekend, I decided to work with Corbin on being "one." This is what we have so far:




I know... he doesn't really have his finger up straight and isn't really enunciating "one," but I thought it was cute anyway. I also realize that it won't be his birthday until April 10, but I couldn't help myself.

Cousins

I just thought these two looked so cute in their matching PJ's, I had to take a picture.(Ryder and Corbin)

Sunday: A Day of Rest

Corbin normally takes a nap around 11:00 in the morning except on Sunday. We have church from 9:00 to 12:00, so I put him down after church. Last Sunday, I was going about my normal routine while Jeremy was doing his financial stuff. I like to feed Corbin before his nap. I was in the middle of feeding him and had to grab something from upstairs. I ran up, came back down, and found him fast asleep in his highchair. This is the kid that hates to fall asleep and will fight it as long as he can unless he is in his bed or a pack and play. I was so shocked...

Corbin's Favorite Things

We thought we should put a post about Corbin's favorite toys. I don't know why parents buy their kids toys. All Corbin needs is a phone or remote control.


Another favorite thing for Corbin is to go to certain places. As soon as Corbin sees the refrigerator door open, he heads toward it. Now he has figured out that he can climb in and tries to get up into the shelves.


Another favorite for Corbin is anything that feels like his blanket. Whenever he comes accross a blanket or a towel that he thinks feels like a blanket, he cuddles into it as shown below.


The last of Corbin's favorite things is his bath. If Corbin hears his bath water running, he is on his way there. There have been times that he has tried to climb in fully clothed. Jeremy can strip him down in his room and put him on the ground and he will crawl to the tub in no time.

11 Months Old

Corbin is now 11 months old. It is amazing that the time has gone by so fast. It is so interesting to see how his personality grows almost every day. Corbin now loves giving kisses, open mouth of course. Kisses always end with a laugh. He was starting to walk, but has kind of put that on hold since he last got sick. We still haven't mastered going down stairs. He thinks he needs to go down facing the wrong way and is a little stubborn (just like his parents).

These have been the best 11 months. We are so lucky to have Corbin!

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.
