More Fall Festivities

We've still been able to keep up a little with at least a little autumnal activity.

Jon took Corbin out to help rake the leaves last weekend. He really did try & help, too, by attempting to bag the leaves up for Daddy.













Yesterday, I carved our pumpkin for beggar's night, which is tonight. We dressed him up in his Blue's Clues costume the other day. He didn't like to get in it, but we were able to keep him mildly entertained for some pics.



He looks mischevious in this one!

I hope it goes well tonight. I'm very excited, as we actually live in a neighborhood with a lot of children. Corbin should make out pretty well in the hour or so that he will probably tolerate. And of course, Daddy and I get to eat all of the things that are too hard, too chewy, or contain any nuts or eggs.

I should also briefly mention that this blog will only remain Corbin's blog for another 2 months. At the beginning of 2010, I will be combining the twins' blog and Corbin's blog into one family blog. It will be easier to maintain this way, and you will only need to refer to one website for updates.

Here's a bonus pic of Corbin in his brother's bouncy chair. Looks comfy!

Big Brother

We had Corbin's brothers on October 18th! Last night, we brought them home & Corbin got to meet them for the first time.

At first, the introduction didn't go very well. He got a little fussy at first, but Daddy took him outside to burn off some energy, and then we tried again.

A little hesitant at first...



He decided it would be okay to "count" the babies. Cameron is number one...



and Jameson is number two...



Shhhhh... baby's sleeping

with a little help from Daddy

Today, he was giving both babies high fives & he continues to pat their little heads.

Our Day at the Farm

We had a great family outing this morning at the Pigeon Roost Farm. It was so much better than the pumpkin patch we went to last year. I figured I had better get out of the house while I still can & Corbin needed some fresh air.

There were so many children's activities for Corbin to do. It was a stroller-free day- we just let him run around & explore. They had these fun slides going down the hill that he will have to try out within the next couple of years, too.



The first thing that we encountered was all of the produce. Corbin went all through all of the pumpkin & gourd displays & we had to pry him away. We didn't want him to wear himself out before he got to the fun stuff!





I tried to get Jon to pose with him in one of these things, but was unsuccessful; I was game, though.



They had a lot of different animals on the farm. We saw turkeys, peacocks, goats, camels (!), bunnies, ponies, and many more.





This must be a free-range chicken



Here's Corbin going down one of their many slides for toddlers



We went on the hayride through the farm. We joked that maybe it would put me into labor. They have a recording that plays during the trip that teaches you about all of the farm's productivity. They grow squash, gourds, corn, indian corn & soybeans on the farm. They also kept bees there to pollinate the pumpkins.

Corbin was getting a little tired, as it was nearing noon by then.



Pumpkins everywhere!







Corbin did the Creepy TeePee Crawl all by himself! He was a little unsure, but it helped that the little boy who went right in front of him was very brave & led the way.



Ta Da!



He tried, but the Straw Tunnel was a little too crowded to get through



Corbin played for a few minutes in the corn kernels, where they had a bunch of toddler toys set up. Mommy was thankful that she got to sit down on a bench to watch him.





It was a very fun morning. We stopped for lunch on the way home & Corbin even waited until we got home to fall asleep. We all decided that was a good idea & all took 2 1/2 hour naps. :)

Go Blue Jackets!

Corbin, Daddy and Mommy went to a Columbus Blue Jackets pre-season game last Sunday. Corbin did so well, and so did Mommy! Not too bad for a 22 month old and a woman who is 8 1/2 months pregnant with twins.

Corbin had his own seat for the entire game, and he sat there like a good little boy. He was a little clingy at times, but we think that he was put off by the loud woman next to us. As soon as she left, he stopped giving us so many hugs and started pointing at things again and going, "Look! Look!" and "Go! Go!"

Here's a pic of Daddy and Corbin



...and here's a picture of him enjoying the game!
