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

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.

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!

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

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

Photobucket
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

Photobucket
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.
