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!

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!
