Tunnel

We went to a play group today with our friends and Corben had a great time playing with everyone....he even ventured into the tunnel.

This is the first time Corben has actually gone all the way through a tunnel.

Little Tikes Fire Company

Papa John and Meme bought Corben his 1st birthday gift...a car, and not just the ordinary car....but a Fire Company car with siren and all. Corben absolutely loves it.

Notice he is pushing the siren button and opening the door

Ring, Ring....

HELLO....

Corben putting the cell phone up to his ear.

Friends.....

We had our friends over for dinner and the boys played really well together!!

Walking...

Corben has been walking, well pushing many items around the house and his speed is increasing!

Roadtrip to DALLAS

Our first roadtrip as a family....we went up north to visit cousin Kirk in Dallas

Crawling under Kirk's barstools

Enjoying cousin Kirk's great patio in Uptown

We visited the grassy knoll and 6th Floor Museum where JFK was assassinated

Corben was a little fussy for the 'quiet' museum style, but we still took a look.

Watch out Corporate America......Attorney in training!!

We visited Kirk's office and Corben loved the conference room with the view....

you can see the view of downtown Dallas...Corben even cried when we left.

Kirk's friends came over for brunch...
then we went on a walk in the cemetary behind his condo. Thanks cousin Kirk for a wonderful weekend in Dallas!!

Itty Bitty Friends

11 months

Corben Reed is 11 months today!!

He is such a happy baby and a true blessing from God.

Weight: 22 pounds

New favorite foods: meatloaf and rice

His current milestones: waving, clapping, cruising, giving hi-fives, playing peek-a-boo, giving major raspberries to everyone (especially Pop), saying Momma and Dadda, hi, ut oh (he just says'ut'), baba for milk, signing: more & all done

-The Wave-

During our photo shoot Dad walked in and Corben started waving.

-The Scream- He doesn't scream often, but he really wasn't into sitting and posing for his 11 month photos today....hehe.

-The Walk-

Corben has been doing 1-2 laps every morning pushing the barstool around Pop & Nonie's kitchen. He might be walking soon, Mommy was walking at 9 months & Daddy started walking at 11.5 months.

-The "Attack"-

Corben loves to "attack" his monkey, Curious George

Corben & Colby

All smiles when Corben & Colby are together....adorable cousin love!! Notice Corben's wavy hair...it is really starting to curl, just like his Daddy!!Colby was determined to teach Corben how to walk while we were visiting for Christmas....but instead, Corben is now clapping....so Colby is claiming he taught him (even though Nonie is also claiming this milestone..hehe)

Happy New Years!!

We spent part of New Years at cousin Jake's house...then Corben got sick with vomit and a fever and his continued cough, so we ended up in the ER.....it was a long day, but he is feeling better now.

(Poor baby, he looks so sick in these photos)

Cousin Jake had a fun fire truck that Corben climbed right up on and started playing!!
