Boys, boys, boys.

I had an ultrasound almost two weeks ago and we found out that a baby boy will be joining our family in October! We are super excited... I just hope that I can handle two crazy little boys and a husband!

Disneyland!

On Sunday we returned home from a week-long jaunt to Disneyland. Corbie LOVED it- especially all of the attention he received from Grandma and Grandpa and his cousins. Some of the highlights of Disneyland were the characters, especially Buzz and Mickey. Corbs still talks about wanting to give them a hug. The carousels, flying Dumbo, and the train were also a big hit. I wasn't able to ride any of the roller coasters due to my ever-expanding belly, but I experienced them vicariously through Walker.

I found out a few weeks before we embarked on our road trip that Corbie gets car sick when he watches movies in the car. That was a bummer, but he did surprisingly well, even without the entertainment of "Cars" or "George".

I think every kid needs to experience Disneyland!

It's True!

I am pregnant! I am about 14 weeks along and glad to have the first trimester over with. I didn't realize how crappy I felt until it was over. It's nice to not feel nauseated and exhausted all the time! So, I am due October 26th. Judging by my history, and family tendencies, I expect that the baby will be born sometime in November. I am trying to mentally prepare myself for a 41-42 week gestation.... Anyhow, we will likely find out what gender the baby is on May 6th. Walker and I are super excited!

Just a few pics of the boy lately....

His new favorite thing is to walk around with the toy basket on his head...oh and it's no longer cool to smile for pictures
No comment.....................

He loved riding the four wheeler at the cabin, even though it was freezing cold once we got going

Can't beat boots and dirt

He loved swinging with Grandma at the cabin

Ready for spring in the shorts and flip flops

He thought he was so cool in Mom's beanie

Corbie, Corbie, Corbie

I have been a bad mother lately and haven't journaled/blogged/scrapbooked anything of Corbie and his little quirks. So, here is all is in one fell swoop.

The crazy boy loves to shove things up his nose. Particularly kidney beans and green beans. One night it took a good sneeze to get the kidney bean out of his right nostril.

He loves to be mischevious when I am in the shower. He can reach the top drawer in the bathroom (it is the sole drawer that isn't childproofed). He reached into the drawer, pulled out Walker's watch, and was dangling it over the toilet. When I realized what was going on, I jumped out of the shower to save the watch. As soon as I got close, he dropped it. Luckily, with my experience as a nurse, retrieving a watch from the toilet wasn't devastating. However, telling Walker what had happened was!

A few weeks ago in sacrament meeting, Corbs was being a maniac boy and wouldn't sit still. He was so noisy and disruptive, I asked Walker to take him out. (I would take him out, but I lead the music and need to be available to lead the rest hymn/closing hymn, etc.) As Walker was walking out with Corbin, Corbs looks back at me, waves, and yells, "See ya!" Most of the congregation heard him. I just shake my head.

He has mastered the talent of climbing into his crib, but he doesn't dare climb out. So, he climbs in the crib a few times every day, and yells for 'dad' or 'binky' until I go get him. When he wakes up in the morning, he always stands at the bottom right corner of his crib, holding his balled-up blanket, sucking on his binky and yelling "dad, dad, daddy!" (I don't know why he yells for dad. I am almost always the one to get him out of his crib. He knows how to say 'mom'. Whatever.). If he is in a particularly impatient mood, he will throw his blanket and binky overboard, then start yelling longingly for them.

And last but not least, he burned his right thumb on a stove-top burner. I was getting something out of the top shelf, so I needed my stepstool. I was up on the stool and Walker was making noodles. He had just taken the pan off of the burner to drain the water, and was at the sink. I didn't notice that Corbs had climbed up behind me on the stool, and he reached out and touched the burner without us noticing until it was too late. He was a good sport and only cried for a few minutes.

We love our Corb-ers! He is so crazy and so much fun.

Here is my new hairdo!

So, what do you think? I am still adjusting to the shortness of it all. I like it, I think. It's tricky because I have to do my hair every day now. There isn't the option of sticking it in a ponytail- which is my favorite thing to do with hair. It was on a whim that I cut it, and I have only come close to crying once.

Happy New Year!

What kind of blogger would I be if I didn't post a picture of Christmas? We had a great holiday season. Walker and I were both off of work for about two weeks, so we had a blast just chillin' around the house. We also went to the cabin for a few days. It was good times. Corbie had a wonderful Christmas.
