Future Basketball Pro

The obessesion for basketball has increased due to a purchase of a basketball jersey and a pair of basketball shorts by some good friends of ours. It's on the second he gets out of bed in the morning and doesn't take it off till its time for bed at night.

Through the eyes of a 2 year old

Lately Corbin's imagination has just blossomed. It has been so entertaining to watch him and listen to him.

*We have a petting zoo around our kitchen table that includes a gorilla, a tiger, a horse, a cow, an elephant and a duck that bites your fingers so be careful!

*When I make him a fort with our piano bench he will tell me how he made a big fire and he roasted a marshmallow for me and to make sure that I share with Emma.

*Corbin has this monkey that Grandpa Parrish had given him that he loves to sleep with.

There are times when I go to put Corbin down for a nap or bedtime and I'll hear him talking to monkey. He'll sing songs to him and tell him stories and just have a full on conversation with him. Than he'll start yelling for me and I'll go into his room and ask what is wrong and he will tell me, "Monkey isn't sharing." or "Monkey is being mean he needs to go to time out." He is truely upset about it.

*The other night we were sitting down for dinner and our table is close to our sliding glass door that we can see our reflection in at night if the drapes are open and through all of dinner Corbin would look at himself and have a full on conversation with basically himself. Then he would turn to the other chairs and talk to his "boys" about how he was having dinner.

*Buzz Lightyear is a frequent visitor at our house lately. He'll put on his costume and want me to call him Buzz. If I call him Corbin while he wears Buzz he gets mad at me and says, "No! I Buzz!" The other day I told him he needed to clean up his train set before we could play with playdoh. He told me that he couldn't do it but he thought that Buzz Lightyear could so he proceeded to go and get his costume on and cleaned up his entire train set! He looked at me and I said good job and he went back to his room took his costume and than came back out ready to play with playdoh.

*Corbin loves the Backyardigans! After every show we watch he goes all day pretending to be what they were on the show. If it was about pirates he's a pirate for the rest of the day and says "Argh!"

Needless to say we have been so entertained by Corbin and I have loved every second of it!

Smile

Emma hasn't quite started smiling at us yet but she does do a lot of smiling in her "inbetween" stage when she's not quite awake but she isn't sleeping either. It's so sweet. Love this little girl!

Day with Corbin

Kyle and I decided that Corbin needed some time with Mom and Dad so we left Emma with my parents and took him to the Gateway Discovery Museum and to lunch on Saturday. He had a great time. We decided to ride on trax to the Gateway because Corbin loves trains. I'm convinced that if we had just done that he would have been in heaven.

After the museum we took him to lunch and than introduced him to Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory's yummy caramel apples.

Emma & Joshua

As I had mentioned before my friend Julie and I were pregnant at the same time due about a week apart or so. Emma was born on the 13th of December and Joshua was born on the 17th of December. They both weighed 7 lbs 4 oz but Emma was 21 inches and Joshua was 20 inches. It's been fun having babies at the same time and going through a lot of the same things at the same time.

Sharing

I had layed Emma on the floor to change her diaper and had walked out of the room for a minute and when I got back this is what I found. Corbin looked up from playing with his toys and says, "Mom, I just share my tools with Emma." So sweet!

4 Weeks Old

I cannot believe that Emma is 4 weeks old already. Time has been flying by so fast.
Emma is such a great baby and is so easy going. She is starting to give signs of smiles which I am very excited for. She is still eating every 2-3 hours during the day and 4-5 hours during the night. It is so fun having a little girl and being able to put cute bows on her.

Playdoh Faces

Corbin & Mommy.

For Christmas Corbin got playdoh and we have been having a lot of fun playing with it.
