Teething?

We think that Corbin is teething, either that or we are not feeding him enough (which is not likely since he is giant-sized for his age), because lately he has gravitated towards chewing on his bottom lip. He doesn't just suck it in, but he actually chomps down on it and makes smacking noises all day. It looks ridiculously cute, we like it because it flattens out his jaw line and makes his face look perfectly square... so here is a picture of his latest phase.

We're Back!

Well, after Caleb's birthday we headed up to Salt Lake City to start looking for a place to live next month. We ended up making an offer on a condo just off of Center Street in Bountiful. It is perfect for us, there are two bedrooms, one bathroom, a nice big living room, with a cute little fireplace, a pool and a playground for Corbin. Plus it is in a nice neighborhood and most importantly (according to the Lloyds) is that our church will apparently start at nine o'clock, so we can attend family dinners on Sunday. I meant to pull the pictures of the condo off of the internet listing before it was removed, but I did not make it in time, so until we move in, you will have to settle for this picture of the flier to see what it looks like.

When we got back we were all sort of sick, so the last few days have been spent lying around the house coughing and sneezing (the later might be due to all of the dust in our house, as much as the sickness, since I haven't dusted the office in months, literally) and packing boxing to get ready for our 'Big Move.' Which Corbin originally was pretty bored with, since he just got stuck in a Johnny Jumper all day (which he does love, but not enough to be happy in it ALL day). That is until this afternoon when he discovered that jumping on top of this piece of plastic wrap made 'The Crinkle Noise' really loudly, which was pretty exciting.

We Made It, and Happy Birthday Caleb!

We graduated!!! Friday night Caleb wrote his speech, which he practiced a couple of times Saturday morning before commencement, where he did an excellent job delivering it. Everyone's favorite line was:

"I asked people for advice on what to talk about, and they all said the same thing, 'Don't be boring!' but unfortunately I am an accountant and that is just not possible."

In an address to a room full of accountants it went over pretty well. Jake filmed his speech and we will try and post it later on so you can see it. Afterwards Aunt Mel and Uncle Ron came into town and everyone went to dinner (Melinda's Mom and Dad, Caleb's Mom, Celeste, Jenna, Jake, Mel, Ron, Caleb, Melinda and Corbin) at Applebees.

Then we went and watched the Jazz game--which was amazing! How exciting that they pulled it off!

Sunday was great, totally stress free, no homework to worry about or anything!

And today was Caleb's birthday! We slept in (as much as the Bean would let us) and then went to lunch with Harmony, Derek and John. They Caleb had to run into work for a little while. At 6:00 we surprised Caleb with a BBQ in the park, which was a lot of fun. While he did not get a condo, he did get some really nice gifts, which were greatly appreciated.

We really liked this card from Grandma and Grandpa Nash, which on the front says, "I used the latest computer technology for your birthday card." And as you can see on the inside shows Snoopy standing on the high tech computer in order to place a traditional card into the mail.

And Corbin really liked the wrapping paper!

Last Day of School...Ever!

Today was the last day of classes at SUU! What a great feeling. To celebrate we went and saw Spiderman 3 this afternoon. It was a good movie. But it is late, so that is basically all... except... 1 day left!

Corbin verses the Rice Cereal

Our last movie turned out pretty good, so we decided to try another one. This time we added in some better audio, so you can enjoy Caleb's narration while you watch.

Here is Corbin on Easter morning when we tried to feed him rice cereal for the first time. As you will see it didn't go so well; he seemed to dislike the taste in his mouth. Since there hasn't really been any improvement since then, we are getting ready to give in and stop trying to make him eat it. Perhaps we will try oatmeal instead.



Plus...only 2 more days left!

Corbin's Stats

Corbin saw Dr. Burrows this morning. It turns out he is currently 17 lbs. 5 oz. (which puts him in the 60th percentile), 28 inches long (96th percentile) and has a head circumference of 17 inches (43rd percentile). He is growing and doing well. The doctor was very impressed with his happy disposition and was quite pleased with how strong he is getting.
