Feed the birds

This afternoon we decided to go to Country Park to feed the geese. We didn't know it was against the rules...we found that out after the fact. Oh well! Atleast the birds were happy! Corbin enjoyed checking out the geese up close and personal. He did not, however feed them. He left that up to me.

Wonder what they are both looking at?

After that we headed down to the park to play for a little bit. Corbin enjoyed sliding down the big tunnel slide and found a new friend around his age to play with. They had a good time crawling through the tunnels. Corbin is finally starting to feel better. He has had a rough week running a fever of 103. We think it ended up being roseola because he broke out in a light rash last night. I think we are finally on the mend!

Daddy and I on the top of the big boy slide!

So happy!

Me and my new friend.

All smiles after the slide!

Boys and their tractors

There is just something about boys and their tractors. This is how my 2 boys spent this afternoon. Corbin loves spending time with his Daddy.

Ouch

This poor boy tried to eat the concrete today. This is the first but I am sure it won't be the last!

Summertime fun

We had such a great summer and were very sad to see it end but Mommy had to go back to work! We took Corbin to the Children's Museum and he was so overwhelmed by all of the cool toys. He love all of the transportation and ran from car to car. Here are some pictures from the day:

When we went into the area for his age it was love at first site. He found the coolest toy ever...

He could have played in this for hours but we had to learn a hard lesson in sharing. I am sure it will be the first of many. We have also enjoyed going to the lake as a family. Corbin seems to enjoy relaxing at the lake and especially driving the boat. He sure loves to figure out how things work...a lot like his Daddy.

The lake water was down so we went to the sandbar so Corbin could experience the "beach" part of the lake. He enjoyed running around in the sand.

This little boy seems to love the lake as much as his Daddy. It is neat to watch him grow up where his Daddy grew up too. We are sad to see the summer go but look forward to what the fall has to bring!

Daddy and his boy

14 months and a photo shoot

We are having so much fun watching this boy grow up! He is definitely keeping us on our toes but we are having a great summer. One of my friends from high school (Gail Jones) is launching her photography career and she took some family pictures of us on the day Corbin turned 14 months. We had a lot of fun but Corbin decided he was NOT in the mood for pictures that day. She still got some great shots though...

I think his face says it all...he was done!

LOVE this picture plus he is wearing an old baby hat of his Dad's!

Here he is in a rocking chair of mine from Jenny & Ray's. He loves to play in this chair at our house and will climb in and out of it all the time!

Corbin is learning so many things and will point at everything and say "this". He follows directions so well (and doesn't follow them when he wants too)! It is so amazing to watch him learn. He has learned to "give me 5" and can sign "I love you" pretty consistently now but the funniest thing he does is give the biggest & sloppiest open mouth kiss. He loves to give Mommy and Daddy kisses but has only handed a few out to others (he does tend to like blondes)! Sometimes out of nowhere he will come up and plop down in our laps and just sit there quietly (pretty much the only time he is quiet!). Another favorite moment of Josh and mine is something that has started when we are putting him down for naps/night time. We generally just hold him (as he lays his head on our shoulders), sing to him for a few minutes, say our prayers and then lay him down in his bed. During this time he has chosen to take his head off of our shoulder and lay lots of kisses on our lips over and over again. He is quite the ham and is turning into a sweet and loving boy!

Reginald

Meet Reginald...

Reginald is a squirrel that Corbin loves to play with...a game where I pick Reginald up and Corbin immediately throws him back down. Typical boy apparently. We invented this game when Corbin would become very fussy while I was changing his diaper (the diaper changing table is attached to the pack and play where lots of toys, including Reginald stay). I would say, "Where's Reginald?" and then bring him up for Corbin to hold and then he would immediately throw him back into the pack n' play and then point for him again. He now loves him and if we ask Where's Reginald? he will often go in search of him. He still will throw him down on the ground most of the the time...poor Reginald.
