To the park....swinging with cousin Colby
Going down backwards on the slide and laughing the entire time!!

Cousins Colby & Noah would build the blocks for Corben to knock down.

Colby saw me grab Corben once and then he wanted to do it all day long to take Corben wherever he wanted him to go. Corben thought it was funny the first couple of times.

10 months

Corben is 10 months....not our typical photo shoot, we had a busy day today....I guess that goes along with a busy baby!!

Taking a ride in the 'Papa John Express' wagon with Curious George monkey, of course.....he held on the entire time and although I really think he enjoyed the ride, this was his first and only smile.

Corben got to spend time with Rhett tonight and he wanted to show off his new skill of learning to climb stairs....and they were off.... ......Rhett is pretty quick and was soon in the lead

Big Smiles...Corben actually coming up to the camera & smiling

Corben is cutting his 6th tooth....and eating mostly table food

Looking up at the lights on the Christmas tree before bed time
.....it has been a great 10 months!!
