Downtown

We met Uncle John, Aunt Barbara, Max, Papa John & Meme for dinner downtown at Josephine's Italian restaurant. Corben was really good at the dinner table, ate all his food and played well with his toys. Corben really wanted Aunt Barbara to hold him tonight, which made her day too!!

Nice evenings

Nice evenings = playing outside

Playing with Rhett

Tonight we had the Land family over for dinner. Corben & Rhett sat at the table together. They played so well together, Corben of course giggled when Rhett would play, but Corben was all about playing tonight too.

When Rhett crawled and went to the couch and pulled himself up....

Corben followed, he crawled a lot tonight trying to keep up with Rhett!!

Then they crawled over to the saucer and pulled themselves up...what a fun night with friends.

Rhett is 2 weeks older than Corben and much taller!!
