Corbin and Ginger Playing

Renovations

Corbin has been slowly taking apart his foam floor tiles and spreading them around the house.

Cheerios!

Corbin has moved up to eating cheerios all by himself. He's not very good at it yet, and about half end up in Corbin's mouth, and half in Ginger's.

Corbin Wired

Corbin came home from his first day back at daycare pretty wired.

new pics

As Corbin is getting better at pulling himself up, he's been exploring the house more, including the bathroom.




He's also learning to assert himself more.



The hat managed to stay on for a few second after this photo, until Corbin grabed it and threw it to the ground.

...and his ATV!




Mostly we push and guide him around the house, but it won't be long before he is chasing Ginger around the house on his new favorite toys. Thanks Grandmaw and Shauna!

Corbin's Best Friend and First Word?

While traveling to West Virginia for Christmas, James's parents doggy-sat for us. Corbin definitely missed Ginger a whole lot.....he was so excited to see her when Grammy & Grampy brought her home. They played a long time that night....and daddy thought he heard Corbin say "Jenjur", but I didn't hear it.

Tonight Ginger was laying on the couch asleep and Corbin pulled himself up and was walking along holding on to the couch. He got close to Ginger, grabber her tail and put it in his mouth! I couldn't believe she put up with that. I quickly told Corbin no....then he started pulling on her ear. I said no again and Ginger came over to take refuge with me. I then modeled "gentle" petting for Corbin.

Corbin is also fascinated with Ginger's dog tags. He loves to make them jingle, and he definitely loves his dog. :)

A Fort for Corbin

As close as Corbin is to walking, he is crawling faster and becoming more daring. Today he climbed over his power wheel that Grandma Brenda got him for Christmas. He feels restricted when in his walker now and primarily uses it only as a tunnel to crawl through. He has his own adventure course from the living room to the bathroom....he cannot take a direct path. He must crawl through a dining room chair, above the table brace, through another chair, then under the kitchen table, past the pantry to get a dirty sock from the bathroom. As mom or dad yells...YUK! One of us (usually daddy) pulls the sock out of his mouth and closes the bathroom door. I sheepishly look at James and say, oh I must have left the door open (normally while doing laundry....we seem to have an overabundance of dirty laundry these days).

Since Corbin is so fascinated with being under the tables, I decided during play time I would make a fort for him out of a tablecloth and a couple of the dining room chairs. He thought it was pretty cool and it has now become a part of his adventure course.

Corbin has also become adept at finding loose paper or cardboard to chew on through out the house. I have no idea why he is so fascinated with the texture in his mouth. I can't imagine that it would taste that great. He is certainly growing to be a little dare devil and a big trouble maker!
