First Tailgate!

Saturday, we went on our first tailgate with Corbin! He was such a good baby- happy and playing all 8 hours! He did take a half hour nap in the morning, but that was all the time he could spare for sleeping. He was too busy making friends and exploring!

Ways to survive a tailgate with a baby:

1. Enlist 2 or more eager pre-teens to entertain
2. Set up cooler barricades
3. Don't sweat the small stuff (like filthy socks)


Here we are in the back of our tailgate at 8 AM. I was an hour and a half later than Jon & Corbin b/c I was making food.


When we say "O!", Corbin will do the "H!"


New friends


Corbin listens intently to the Buckeye chatter


With Grandma


Our favorite play quilt put to good use


It was a little chilly in the morning, so I had to put a hoodie on him. I thought this pic was so cute!

Belated 10 Month Pose

Our little guy is 10 months old (and 1 week).

These photo sessions are getting very difficult. Since he is mobile, I can't pose him and then take a step back to snap a pic. Unless I am really, really quick!
Jon had to help with this month's photo- in fact, he ended up in most of them!

Soon we will be making invitations for his first birthday party! We are going to do a time capsule theme & are asking people to bring an item for Corbin's time capsule, which he will open on his 18th birthday!

Slegle

I apologize for slacking so much on the blog. I think we are finally done travelling for a while. Here are a few pics from this year's trip to Slegle.

Now accepting kisses


Great Grandma Kranz baked me a 3/4 birthday cake! I have to practice, after all, for my big party in a couple of months!

Cute Butt Shot

This is a pic of Corbin in his new diaper, taken up at Slegle. It's the first time I have used prefolds on him & I love it!

A Couple Quick Pics

from Grandpa Montgomery's birthday weekend!



Happy Birthday, Great-Grandpa!!



I get to crawl all over the place! Great-Grandma lets me get away with everything!



Dancin' on the tabletops!!

Holland, cont.

Here are the remainder of the Holland trip pics. Sorry I have been slack again. Holiday travel messed me up a little.

We took a walk along the shore on Saturday. I wore Corbin in the Bjorn, and it was quite a workout for my calves to walk with him on me in that sand (not to mention the pounding waves!)


Getting ready to go- in my aunt & uncle's backyard


Walking along. It was a very bright day out, so we squinted a lot. It was near 90 degrees, too.


Waves


We walked down to the state park. This is a view from the pier.


Us on the pier- there wasn't a rail or fence- we sort of had to balance.


Getting ready to swim in Lake Michigan with Daddy


In the water- in hindsight, I should have put a lifejacket on him. The waves were pounding that day. He had gone in the night before & loved it, but the waves scared him a bit that day.

Playing independently


Ooh that's cold!


Playing in the sand


One last smile for the road!
