Itty Bitty Friends

Corben playing at the Toddler Town in Chick Fil' A

He had a great time with his Itty Bitty Friends Corben and Rachel

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!!

To the park....swinging with cousin Colby
Going down backwards on the slide and laughing the entire time!!

Cousins Colby & Noah would build the blocks for Corben to knock down.

Colby saw me grab Corben once and then he wanted to do it all day long to take Corben wherever he wanted him to go. Corben thought it was funny the first couple of times.

Puppy love:Corben sat at the window for many minutes watching Colby's new puppy, Ryder.
