Corban is 15 months today. Every morning I get excited to see his face, hear his voice. He talks a lot, I don't understand it all, but he speaks with such conviction.
We had a visit with his Mimi and Poppy over the weekend. He had a blast. Mimi brought him some books of Jaime's that she had kept. How special! Corban went with Mimi and Poppy over to visit his great grandparents on Saturday and Jaime and I went to go see Hunger Games. It was really good, and it was fun to see a movie!
We had a big lunch on Sunday and got to see everyone and enjoy serving a meal from our new home.
Corban had a good 15 month well-baby check. He is 30.5 inches tall, and weighs 20.06. He has grown an inch and a half since his 12 month appt and gained a little more than a pound. Doctor G says he is looking good.

St. Patrick's Day
For St. Patrick's Day (one of my favorite holidays), we were invited to a great party with sweet friends, Irish music, and lots of happy children. The weather was perfect and so was the company. The food wasn't too shabby either. Corned beef and cabbage, Shepherd's pie, and of course GUINNESS.
Saw these shamrock treats on a blog and we took them to the party! Cute and easy! Mini pretzels, rolo, M&M's, and a little icing for the stem. If I could remember where I saw them, I'd give due credit-but, they were not my original idea.
Friends!
Corban and Owen were playing with the cutest puppy through the fence.
Daddy got to come to the party for a bit before having to head to work.

14 Months Today!
Playing in the yard. He goes down the slide on his tummy, feet first!
A bubble bath in the kitchen sink 4 days before leaving our Three Rivers home.
Over the last few weeks Corban has started to communicate more using the sign language we've shown him. He signs milk, more, bath, eat/food, ouch/hurt, night/sleep, and cracker. Three weeks ago he was playing in the living room and looked up at me and did the milk sign. I asked, "do you want milk?" and he nodded his head and said, "yets"! I was so excited because it was like we had an outspoken conversation! He also points to his body parts and says some of then ,"teef" he also says, hi and Hileee (haylee). He LOVES to be outside and thinks raising his shirt to find his belly and pat it is funny. He also likes to pat other peoples bellies ! haha
The other day we went to the park and there was a little girl there, she was 15 months old and Corban was all about her. He kept putting his hands up over his head and whizzing by her. Like Superman!! The other mom and I were cracking up! Guess he is picking this up from the older boys at Marisol's!
Now that the weather is getting nicer, we have been going to the park a lot more. It's so fun now - he loves to go down the slide, crawl through the tunnels, and watch the other kids. He likes to go and "talk" to the other kids, and it's cute how they follow each other around.
He has also become quite good on his feet. He practically runs! Corban also blows kisses when we say bye. The other day he was pretending to fall backwards, in slow motion, and then he would get all tickled and laugh, so would we.
We are getting ready to move next weekend and we are pretty excited! At the same time, it's been emotional because we are leaving our first home. Praying that God puts good renters in the home where our dreams began.

Rubber Ducky, You're the One
Corban is still a big fan of bathtime. He loves to kick his legs and talk to all the little toys.
He has this whale that sprays water and lights up. It chases him around the tub. He crawls after it and we take turns pushing it back and forth.
He dumps stuff over the tub and exclaims "UH OH!" and then babbles to me about getting it for him. He says "dis" and points at it. He periodically pauses during bathtime to let out a happy squeal and then hugs my neck and holds my face for kisses. It's like he is saying "thank you Mama-I love this!!!" It's one of my favorite parts! (I know that one day he will NOT want to get in the bath)
His hair curls up in the water- He looks like a Cupie doll when his hair is curly.
Caught mid splash! He kicks his legs like crazy.
Getting ready for bed-reading his book while I get him ready for his pajamas.
We have a space heater in the bathroom, he watches it-but knows not to touch it. I took this as I was telling him that it's hot. The face he is making makes me laugh.
Look at his curly hair-by morning the top flattens out, but the back and sides still have curl.
Ready to read a bedtime story and cuddle.

This morning we made Valentine Jigglers for Marisol at the daycare. They had a little party. His first Valentine Day party!
He decided to sleep in though!!
Instead of waking him, and getting ready-I got the camera!
Sweet Angelface!
Good Morning Sunshine!!
Getting decked out in red and hearts today! Thanks for the shirt Erin! Someone in EP loves you!
Corban had a fun day today and took a 2.5 hour nap at daycare. Marisol, Martha, and ChaChita had the place decorated so cute. They had hearts everywhere and the children were enjoying strawberries and milk when I picked Corban up. We went over to show Mammy his Valentine shirt and play there for a bit, then it was back home we went.
Rolling the baseball around while I make dinner
What a big day Corban had! He is getting sleepy!
Playtime with the "pop pop" he says that when as he rolls it around. This was the last burst of energy before bedtime.
Hugging Teddy-then it's going to be time for bed!
What a happy day it was for us with our sweetheart.

Way to Go Daddy!!
Corban and I went to cheer Daddy on at the EP Marathon a couple of weeks ago. Here he is after just crossing the finish line and receiving his medal. It was a proud moment. Thankful God gave him the strength, health, and will to compete in the marathon again. Love cheering him on!
It was FREEZING out there! The wind was also terrible. Props to all the brave runners! Corban had on lots of layers, including a sweatshirt, and down vest. He was also up against me for body heat and for the majority of the time, I had my jacket zipped over him completely enclosing him-and protecting him from the elements. I think he was the warmest person out there.
God Bless
Aww, the quiet times with our boy. Special moment with Daddy after a big day.

Tennis and Visitors
Proud Papa Moment-Corban's 1st time on a tennis court
"uhhhh, excuse me, but you all forgot to leave me some!"
"Okay Uncle Brandon, I'll have that ball now"
"You guys need a ball boy?"
"Uncle Casey and Daddy want Mama to move me"
"But, I'm helping!!!"
"How about if I see a ball coming, I'll just do this!
"Other exciting things happened in January too! I got to play with Caden!!! He made my mama laugh so hard with his giggle! He was really putting on for us. It was so good to see wonderful friends and get to hang out with the Gleason family! Thanks for the shirt from Oz!"
"I also got a visit from my Great Aunt Cici! She made me laugh and played with me. Here I am getting a snuggle in before bed."
