It's a boy!

Easter 2012

Corbin was excited to celebrate Easter this year but I think next year he will have a better understanding of what Easter is really about. He continues to grow up more each and every day and is really becoming his own person. My favorite new thing he does recently is sing along with Mommy and Daddy. I have a song that I sing to him (that my mom sang to me when I was little) and he will start singing along with me at the end ("yes oh yes I do"). He is so affectionate to us and to his friends and is often ready for hugs and kisses. This morning when I went to get him and told him that his Easter basket was downstairs all he asked for was "juice please". Oh well...he was very excited after church and I told Josh he must have been on a candy high! (or nandy as he says it).

An airplane AND bubbles!

Sweet boy ready for church!

He loves to play ball!

Corbin, your Daddy and I hope and pray for you each and every day that you will become a child of God and know the real reason for Easter. That Jesus came and died for your sins so that you could live with Him forever. He lives inside of us to help us walk in his light.

On the hunt

This year we were able to head over to the Conklin's house for a fun easter egg hunt. At first, Corbin just wanted to play with the balls in their yard but it didn't take too long until he caught on and was on the search for Easter eggs. He found quite a few.

Check out all the eggs in his basket!

He had to take a break to give Highland a hug.

Everyone having some fun!

Easter eggs

This boy LOVED dying easter eggs. We had to go shirtless because I knew it would be quite to mess and I was right. We worked on colors and he talked about each one as he was dipping the eggs in them. He also had to taste the dye (of course). Seems like everything still has to go in his mouth. Silly boy!

Here he is blowing on them to help them dry faster.

Proud of his accomplishment.

Big Brother

So...Corbin's gonna be a big brother to a baby due around September 16, 2012. Here are some funny reactions while we were taking pictures.

"What?"

NOOOOO! (No, he was really just sneezing here...he has known for a while.)

He will be a good brother! Sweet boy!

Chocolate pudding

Yum Yum

This boy decided he liked chocolate pudding tonight. When he was finished he asked for "more please."

Cheese!

He also ate zucchini for the first time tonight! Yay! Baby steps...let me tell you!

Play Time

Corbin loves to play with anything and everything he can get his hands on at our house. He loves to play with Mommy and Daddy's things. He has recently discovered chapstick and will motion on his lips (like he is putting some on) and say something that sounds like it and he loves for Josh to put it on his lips. He also loves carrying around Mommy's purse and wearing Daddy's boots.

This morning he found Mommy's glasses and enjoyed putting them on...I do think it kind of scared him though because he couldn't see things like he normally did. Maybe now he will leave them alone!

He also loves to read and our morning and nightly routine includes Corbin getting out book after book and putting it on our bed for us to read to him. He will get a book and climb up on the bed and then say "Mommy" or "Daddy" and pat down next to him to get us to read. His favorite book right now is Big Red Barn by Margaret Brown. He wants me to read that to him ALL THE TIME. I think it reminds him of an app that we use on our IPAD that he loves called Peek a boo barn (he says pee pie). The other day when we were reading it at the end he said pee pie. Who knows but I am so glad he loves to read. He will often pile up many books at night time for us to read to him and Josh or I will try to slip a couple in the "already read" pile but he won't let it slip by him. We have to read them all!

He did a very funny thing this morning. We will often put Corbin up on Murphy and let him ride him around (with some help from us of course). Well, while we were getting ready for church, Corbin went over to Murphy and patted him on his back and said, "ride, ride". I couldn't quite figure out what he said but when I did and said, "Do you want to ride on Murphy's back?" his face lit up and he was so happy! He is quite the character and talks a ton at home but seems he gets shy when anywhere else. We sure do love this boy!
