ALOHA!!

We arrived in Hawaii for a nice and relaxing week!

Papa John holding Corben in the airport. Corben remembered Meme & Papa John and instantly wanted to go to them both.
Wearing his hula shirt and lei!!! Thanks Meme & Papa John, this is going to be a great week.

Holding hands with Meme & Papa John with our luggage.

Family photo...we were greeted with Hawaiian Leis!!!

Walking with Papa John...both wearing hula shirts....Corben's shirt was given to him by Aunt Barbara, who found it at Hawaii last time she was here.

(of course Mommy is standing right in front of Corben the entire time!)

Nonie & Corben time

Mommy was really sick, so Nonie came up to Fresno and spent the day with Corben

Thanks Nonie!!

Nonie made Corben pancake and yogurt breakfast...yummy!
Showing Nonie "so BIG"

Mixing

Notice the finger marks through the sand on the ground!
Now Corben likes to take the water and sand
out of his table and put it into his bucket to MIX!

16 months

Corben is 16 months, wow, he is growing up so fast!

Playing with Dad and the clothes hamper!

As you can see our photo shoots at each month are changing, not so many poses anymore. Being silly when Mom says 'cheese' for a picture!

Corben really likes to color and even asked this morning to color...

in his own language of course, but Mommy knew exactly what he meant!!

The first picture he has drawn all by himself!

Our little LION...

Bath time is always fun when you get to dry off in a LION towel.

Notice the molar on his right upper gums and another starting to cut on his left.

Saw his new Pediatrician today and all was good...weight 26 pounds!

Reading and Napping

Corben fell asleep in the car reading his book

Mommy was at work, but thankfully Nonie took many pictures of the cousins having fun!!

Listening to the words/noises when he pushes each button! So happy that he crawled up the steps!
