Soooo Big

When prompted with the question, "how big is Corben?"....

Corben will raise his arms over his head as we chant " Soooooo Big".

Signing

We have been teaching Corben some sign language,

here is a video of him signing "more", he wanted to eat "more" puffs.

North Shore Park

We met Ellen and Ty at North Shore Park in the Woodlands. We had a picnic lunch, played in the grass, fed bread to the ducks and went swinging together!!

Too cute....touching hands as we stroll along the park

We decided the boys were small enough to swing together,

they thought this was a great idea too!!

Pulling Up

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!!
