Corben loves to play!!

Giggling while throwing a ball back and forth with Mommy

Starting to crawl more and more, although he really loves to sit!

Corben loves to take all the toys out of his bucket

Corben is interested in helping us turn the pages as we read books

Sharing

Corben is sharing his bath letters with Mommy...he has done this 2 nights in a row!!

Houston ZOO

Today we went to the Houston Zoo....Corben stayed awake the entire time and looked at every animal...and really watched as the animals moved around.

Corben really enjoyed watching the sea lions swim....partly because they were swimming so fast and partly because he really loves the water and wished he could swim with them. Corben really liked looking at the flamingos, pictured beyond the fence. Watching the Zebras...we saw our neighbors, the Wagners, and Corben enjoyed looking at Juliana, John, & Charley!! He actually waved today!!

Our family at the zoo....in front of the Tiger, who was sleeping

It was a hot, humid day at the zoo....but we had a great time!!

Houston Zoo

Watching the Asian Elephant play with a tire, we also got to watch another elephant get a bath!!

We saw many tall Giraffes....there are 4 Giraffes in the background.

Corben really liked watching them move around.

This Giraffe was eating the bushes right behind Corben

Football season

Thanks Nonie for Corben's football bib

Corben puts his hands up after he successfully gets a veggie puff or cheerio in his mouth!!

Foods he likes right now: Acorn, Butternut, & Yellow Squash, Zuccini, Sweet potatoes, Peas, Carrots, Black beans & Pinto beans, Pears, Papaya, & Nectarines (all made by Mommy & Daddy).

Up...

Corben sticking his bottom UP in the air in attempt to move around. Sometimes he puts his head down, while in this position, and looks at his own feet...too funny.

Aunt Barbara & Uncle John

Corben really likes to stand and he thinks he should be walking...hehe.
