Sleeping Baby

I don't know what it is, but I have been taking a ton of photos of Corbin asleep lately. Maybe that's when I am able to grab a camera or maybe I am enjoying the moments I get to hold him while he is asleep. I really don't know.

But here are some of my favorites.










The last one deserves a bit of an explanation. This is my nephew Terry with Corbin on his 28th birthday. It is my parents' oldest grandchild and youngest grandchild in the same photo. Terry is posing in corbin's favorie sleep pose. I was laughing so hard that I am pretty surprised I even got them both in the photo.



And in this one, he is not asleep, but he should be. It is late enough, he had just eaten, but he was holding my hand and "talking" to me non-stop. Probably for more than 15 minutes. So funny! So cute!!

Dinosaurs!

One of the cool things about hanging out with the older cousins is that they have different toys than the ones at our house. Although they seem to enjoy playing with corbin's toys, Corbin is definitely intrigued by theirs.

This is Corbin carefully watching as the dinosaur moves toward him shaking its head and wagging its tail.



Tom and Corbin's uncle Chad seem to think he looks afraid in this photo, but he was simply enthralled. Or maybe he was just keeping an eye out for how close that thing was getting to him. Hopefully, he doesn't have any dino nightmares tonight!!

Flying high

Corbin and I are in Arizona visiting my sister and her family. We flew here yesterday with my mom. Corbin had his first airplane ride.

He did awesome as you can tell from these pictures.






Those are the photos from the takeoff and landing. He got a little fussy in the middle when his diaper was dirty but mostly he was fantastic.

We are enjoying the sun and the family. Corbin has two cousins (once removed officially) that are 2 and 3 so that is fun for him. He just watches them. They are enjoying showing off for us and Grandma Jeanne.

We will be back soon.

First wrestling meet!

Saturday night Tom and I took Corbin to his first wrestling meet. Tom's college coach took a group of high school wrestlers to Russia this last summer. The Russian students they visited in Siberia came to Oregon for their part of the exchange.

Corbin watched the match pretty closely as you can see from these pictures.






During the last match, though, he became more interested in the cute high school girls behind us.

After the matches, Tom and Corbin headed down to the mat. Here is a picture of Corbin pinning his dad.



And here is Corbin getting his hand raised for the victory.



It was a fun night. We enjoyed seeing everyone out in Forest Grove and it was fun to have Corbin have his introduction to a sport Tom loves so much.

I have visions of many more Saturdays in gyms....
