Happy Memorial Day

We went swimming in the bigger pool, but it sure is fun to dip in the little pool too!

Big smiles after our swim...this boy loves being outside!

Lounging after a swim...Daddy taught him this!

Dragging his dog with him everywhere!

We went to the park....slid down the slide, watched many kids...

and enjoyed some fun in the sun!

Corben walked up the steps with Mom's help then played on the platform

Corben loves the slide!

Corben is finally allowed to watch TV....well only his Leap Frog videos

...which he loves!!

2nd Haircut

Corben showing off his new haircut.

Dad & Mom used the clippers and he actually didn't mind that much,

surprising especially after the screams during his 1st haircut.

Fun in the Sun

Hat, sunglasses, rash guard shirt, loads of sunscreen and ready to play in the sun!! It was only 80 degrees here, but I admit I am overly cautious with his fair skin like his Dad.

Ready for water fun!!

Playing with the water while Dad pumped up the play pool

Taking a drink from the hose

Pop & Nonie gave Corben this fun play pool...

so today we filled it up and had fun in the sun.

It is definitely a change from last summer in our big pool in Houston,

we are still looking for our "dream" home here in the Fresno area.

Helping fill the pool with the hose

Corben throwing the big beach ball...

notice more water on the cement than in the pool, but we had fun!!

15 Months

Our little guy is 15 months old!!

We met our new Pediatrican and it wasn't the greatest experience, so we will look into others.

Weight: 25 # 9 ounces (60%)

Length: 30 inches

Sitting in Dad's camping camo fold out chair, but really loves his white little chair too.

He is saying 15-17 words, plus lots of boy noises and baby talk. He is understanding much more of what we say and can point to objects. He is walking all over, dancing to his music, loves playing with the dog (even though this makes Dad & Mom uneasy), loves playing outside all the time and brings us his sandals when he wants to go out, he walks to the mailbox daily pushing his fire truck (occassionally riding in it, usually pushing it).

His right upper molar is cutting and the left upper is soon to come also.

Corben walking around in his camo cowboy boots.

We got these while in Texas and during the unpacking Corben spotted them and has wanted to wear them constantly, even though they are still a few sizes too big....showing his Texan roots.
