he really is nine

It happened last month. Our baby boy, who only nine years ago was just a tiny-quiet crying-baby cradled in my arms, has grown up right before our eyes. 
I can't believe how fast it is going. 

His day was a really good day.
He enjoyed breakfast in bed. 
Starting this year, instead of birthday presents from brothers, we decided to start a candy bar poster. They love treats and those dollar store toys broke by the end of the day anyway. It just makes sense, right?
I think Taylor was more excited to make this and give it to Corbin than anything else. 
He laughed at all the funny phrases he would come up with!
Want a closer look?
 And yet again we caved and got the same thing our boys wants every year for birthdays and Christmas. 
I wonder when this obsession will end?
We enjoyed a nice Friday night with Pizza, shakes, and a movie at home. 

 Oh, Corbin we love you so much!

We love: 

1) how well you take care of baby Rudger. You can't stand to hear him cry in his crib so as soon as he wakes up you go and get him out and bring him right where everyone is. He loves you so much.

2) how much you love to make chocolate chip cookies. Yes, I've trained you well :)
3) seeing your face light up when you get to be outside on your roller blades. I didn't realize the day would come as fast as it did when you would pass me on the blades.

4) as much as it pains me to realize that you are growing up so fast and meeting new people all the time, I love how quickly you befriend others.

5) your obsession with collecting things. cards, sea shells, anything that looks like gold

6) your laid back attitude. you are just like daddy.

7) the way you always say..."because I'm awesome"  

8) that extremely funny personality that keeps us laughing constantly.
9) this is completely selfish of me, but I love how you still are not embarrassed by me. You want me to be around and do things with you. You light up when I come to your classroom to volunteer (in a quiet, manly way). You ask me to come and jump on the trampoline with you. You want me to build legos with you (something I should do more often). I saver these moments and I really hope they never end. 

Love you Corby baby!
