ONE YEAR!!!

Corbs, tomorrow you will be ONE YEAR OLD! You are such a sweet, energetic, independent, little boy and we love you so much. We are having a family party this weekend in Melber. Here are a few things I want to be sure to remember about you at 1yr.

-You LOVE horses. You try and say 'horse' but it comes out 'seez'. You can say several words (well things that sound like the word). You say "Dow" for dog; ma ma; da da; Ra Ra (your favorite word), Some kind of two syllable 'Ba' sound when you see BaBa and Bala; you try and say Aaron and it sounds similar to Ra Ra. Other than that you say 'da' and 'dis' for about everything when you point.
-You always want to go outside. Playing on the steps is your favorite. You have almost mastered going up and down by yourself. Still wipe out every now and then so I try and watch you closely, especially on the concrete.
-You are becoming VERY independent and opinionated. You especially want to feed yourself. You can use a fork and spoon decently well. You also have very little fear of things...like pools. You keep your mama on her toes!
-You eat anything and A LOT of it. I fear the teen years because of you son. This will be a Sam's loving family I think. Favorite foods are spaghetti, vanilla wafers, oatmeal, green beans and apple jacks. Like I said though...you will eat just about anything.
-You sleep through the night 7:30pm-6am. I am not a fan of the early morning, but I love that you sleep through the night. I know it will get better...so I'm pushing through.
-You love music. You definitely recognize certain songs that your brother loves and dance like crazy when you hear them. Such personality you have little boy!
-You took your first 2 steps today! Straight to your mama:) You have been able to stand by yourself for over a week now but hadn't taken any steps until today. Your daddy is in New York with Papa so he missed it:(
-You love your brother. Over the past month you two have started wrestling with each other and you are one tough boy. I love it!



This year has gone by so fast sweet Corban. We are loving having you as our son. We love you so much!

brothers are fun




We were finally able to plant our garden yesterday. Both boys 'helped.' Aaron really did help some. He was so excited about it that he was up at 6:15am this morning and at the side of my bed, fully dressed, ready to go 'check' the garden. Unfortunately I was unable to convince him that nothing would grow for at least a week. He was out there at the fence and very disappointed that nothing had grown. Love that boy:) Also, I should take a moment to tell everyone that we are expecting baby #3! I had my first ultrasound this past week and everything looks good. Baby should make his or her appearance around Dec. 12th. Even though this is a complete surprise and shock we are slowly coming around to be excited and grateful. We covet everyone's prayers.
