Happy Birthday

Today is my Maw Maw Marks 89th birthday! I'm about to turn two in October and I can't imagine being 89! That's a LOT of birthdays! We went to visit her today and she gave me her balloons! Guess after 89 years balloons aren't that exciting anymore! We had such a great time with her. We didn't do too much more today. Kind of a lazy day. We cleaned my room which is always fun because mommy switches out my toys quiet often so it's like I have new toys all the time. We have a super busy weekend coming up. My Great Aunt Jeanine is coming up here and we are going to have breakfast with her and lots of my cousins Saturday morning. Then hopefully some time this weekend I'm going to see my best friend Abby. Sunday afternoon they are having a cookout for Vacation Bible School, which I was a little bummed I didn't get to go to this year, but there really isn't a class for me yet. And I think I overheard mommy and daddy mention going on a date. A date???? Sure hope they mean a family date and not a leave the baby with someone and go out :( Anyway that's all for tonight. Better go get some rest before our busy busy weekend! Night night.

Loves and Not So Much

So I'm 20 months old now and my likes and dislikes are perfectly clear. Some drive my mommy and daddy crazy! Want to know what they are? Well either way I'm going to tell you.







Here is a quick list of my favorite things at the moment:

Let's start with my current obsession: Abby Sandlin. Yep my first best friend. We get each other you know. We like to run, play, and have snacks together. I love having play dates with her and her brother Cullen. We always laugh when we are together and we seem to pick up on each others habits. If I'm acting up mommy will just mention Abby and all in my little world seems OK at least for that moment. Abby is my best bud and I know we have some many things to do together as we get older. I do believe she and I are in for a big Halloween this year. Our moms have already started planning for us. More on that later.

I love food. All food. I love pizza from Stevie B's, cheese, applesauces, yogurt, lima beans, potatoes, mac and cheese, fresh strawberries, bananas, oatmeal, apples, blackberries, olives, oh how I love food.

I love to look at videos of me. Mommy says I'm vain but daddy says I get it honest. Mommy has a video of herself when she was little and she has forced daddy to watch it more than his fair share of times.

Hot Wheels...enough said.

Painting on my huge easel with sidewalk paint. *note to self must post picture tomorrow*

Going to The Mix for frozen yogurt with my mom and dad...ok I guess this should fall under food.

Ok no for my dislikes

I do not like little boys...ok let me clarify...I don't like little boys that can walk but are smaller than me. Baby Cullen is ok...but some kid tonight at Golden Corral was eyeing me and I wasn't liking it. Not ONE BIT. I grunted at him, but mommy said that wasn't nice.

I still don't like sleep. I do like sleep during the day once I stay up all night. I managed to keep mommy and daddy up til 2:30 last Monday.

I don't like when my food breaks.

I don't like riding in my new carseat. Mommy says we might just switch back to my old one for a few more months.

For the most part I think I'm pretty easy to get a long with. I'm generally a happy boy. I can't believe in a matter of a few months I'll be 2. Mommy of course is in mad woman planning mode. Well that's all for tonight. Better go grab a nap so I can pull another all nighter :)

For some reason I can't seem to keep up with this blog. I guess it's partly because I'm always on the go. I would ask mom to fill in for me but since I'm on the go she is too. Let's see since I've last blogged I've had a few firsts...I went to the movies last Thursday with mom and dad. We saw Bee Movie :) It was crazy! We sat in these big seats and there were lots of people there watching the same thing. We got a huge drink to share. I watched about an hour of it then it got boring. So we ended up playing for a few hours at McDonald's. Just what I wanted! Yesterday we met up with Miss Jen, Abby, and Cullen for some fun at a new place called Jump 2 It. We ran and played and climbed everywhere. Abby was more interested in this huge ball they had. I love balls but I played it cool and let her have a turn. I was trying my best to climb up the slides by myself. Then we went to a pizza place (Mellow Mushroom) where I had some cheese pizza, coke, a juice box (thanks to Abby) and a chocolate chip cookie. BEST LUNCH EVER!!!! When we left there we drove a little bit further and went and picked strawberries! It was super hot so we didn't pick many. Mommy bought me a banana and it sure was good. She picked up some corn, blackberries, and peaches too. We enjoyed the corn for lunch today and it was yummy! Oh and i'm forgetting something very important last Sunday was Father's day. I knew it was so I woke up extra early to wait on daddy to get home from work. Well mommy had the bright idea of waiting for him on the front porch. Now let me set the scene. It's 6 am, just getting day light outside, I'm in a t-shirt, and mommy is still in her night gown thingy. We sit on the porch for a few minutes...BORING. So I venture out into the yard. Mommy says "don't go any further" what do I hear? RUN CORBIN RUN!!!! I took off running toward my swing set. Now my swing set has three tiers to it. I climb like I've never climbed before. I got to the third one before mommy even made it over there. She tried to reason with me to come down...see it started like this..."Corbin please come down so we can see Daddy", then after a few minutes it was..."Corbin come down now!" and then after a another minute it quickly became "CORBIN COME DOWN NOW!!!!" Well I was entertained by all this fuss made over little ol' me. Well a few minutes later daddy drove up so I start yelling "hey Dad" from my third tier castle :) He laughed when he saw me and mommy out in the yard at 6:30 with our jammies on. Needless to say he said this is one Father's Day he will NEVER forget. So I guess I've caught you up on everything I've failed to blog about lately. Hopefully I can post a little something tonight before I jump in bed.

It's H.O.T.!!!

Look at me blogging two days in a row. Amazing I know :) Did you go outside to play today? Well my mommy wouldn't let me! Well not until late this afternoon. I thought at first she was just being rude...ha not my mommy! Once we did go outside I figured out why she hadn't let me play outside all day. It was super HOT. When we got in the car to go eat pizza her car said it was 109 degrees!!!! It did go down to 97 but apparently that's still HOT! We cooled off this afternoon in the pool. Once we got home, mommy got ready to cook dinner and daddy checked the messages on the phone. Abby had called and she was going to the park so what did we do? We headed to the park to see her! Of course we all had a great time. Mommy held the baby and Abby and I ran threw the sprinklers. Then we topped off our great day at Golden's on the Square. I sure am tired though. (I've talked mommy into letting me skip my naps during the day now. How? I go to bed around 10 at night now instead of 1 or 2.) I like it better and most of the days mommy does too. So that's all for today. Daddy is off tomorrow too. Hopefully we will find something fun and cool to do! Oh and I would have posted pictures from playing in the water today but someone (MOM) has lost the camera!
