144:365 The World is My Canvas

7/14/10

She loves her chalk and crayons. And apparently she will color wherever she pleases. This includes the window sill and the screen (if no one's looking to catch her)!

Totally cheesing it! And she colored inside the chair, too!

Playing outside in the dark, running to "the big tree!"


Anytime we step out the front door, she IMMEDIATELY runs to that tree. She loves it. Therefore it is helpful, if you are in a hurry, to keep a firm hold on her hand as you make your way to the car, lol.

143:365 Blue Jean Baby!

7/13/10

The best picture from the whole day is a blurry picture of Corbin trying to sit on the arm of the couch and still see the television.



The rest were her chewing up a DVD case. What is up with that? She's a billy goat! Her jeans are super cute, though! :)

142:365 A Day in PJs

7/12/10

These are my favorite kind of days. Look how exhausted she is!


Must be recovering from beach day! It is exhausting when you run away as much as she does!


Love the footed PJs. I've been meaning to get myself a pair. Target carries them! ;)

141:365 Mud Monster!

7/11/10

Grandma and Papa Lewis came down for a visit so we could head to the beach! We went down to St. Simons and the tide was reeeeeeeaaaaaallllly far out (not to mention it was the absolute hottest time of the day! EEEK!), so Corbin had a lot of room to RUN FREE!


She also found the wet gloopy sand perfect for covering herself!

Time to head out to the water to rinse ourselves off! The water was really shallow for pretty far out with hardly any waves.

Whoohoo!

Jesus or a member of the X-men?


Fun day at the beach, wish it could have lasted longer! Everything was fun except for having an allergic reaction to my suncreen, yikes! My favorite part was the baby sand dollars we found in the sand that crept across our hands. It was amazing!

140:365 Behind Bars

7/10/10

Behind bars...



...and sound asleep.

139:365 The Rusty Look

7/9/10

This look should be trademarked. It's definitely an Owens characteristic, first witnessed in my baby sister Ashley when she was younger, and now I've seen a recurrence in my own baby girl! She may not look like me, but this look definitely came from my dad!


And please, check out the crazy get-up. She styled herself, lol. And she seems to think the headband goes better this way, haha.

LATER THAT DAY...there seems to be a mess of shredded toilet paper on the couch...who could have done it?!

We're innocent! Look at those puppy dog eyes!

She looks so guilty, doesn't she? And she doesn't seem to care, either, haha.

No flash photography, please! But the crime has already been caught on camera!


Ah well. Could have been worse, I'm sure. :)

138:365 Helping Herself

7/8/10

I remember a time when I could keep Corbin off of the kitchen table just by making sure that the chairs were pushed under. Those days are LONG GONE!!

Here she has pulled out a chair and climbed up because she knows what she wants is sitting right there within her reach:

Crayons!

Washable crayons, I might add. And she's happy, of course.


Ryan does keep the crayons and coloring book on top of the fridge these days. So far she has yet to figure out how to climb up there. Let's hope it stays that way! :)

137:365 Blank Canvas

7/7/10

At this point we were officially 100% moved in to the new place, and Corbin was scribbling on her NEW AWESOME FRONT PORCH WITH OVERHANG PROVIDING SHADE!!

Did I mention we like the new place? :)


So we spend a lot of time out front these days, hanging in our cool folding chairs, sipping hot tea, enjoying the summer breeze. And then school started back for me two weeks ago. :P Ah well, I enjoyed it while it lasted!

ALSO: Please note the ringlets on this child. Her hair is getting so long!

136:365 Nap on the Fly

7/6/10

We spent several hours at the old place cleaning like crazy and Corbin spent a good bit of time in her pack-n-play watching Yo Gabba Gabba. It must have been exhausting!



It was so relieving to get all that cleaning done, and Corbin really is the best baby because she was super chill about it. She did "want a piece of pizza!" and so we ordered some Domino's while we worked. I couldn't ask for a better child! :) And here she was just super exhausted and finally passed out in the nap she absolutely refused to take in the pack-n-play.

135:365 The Dirt Eater!

7/5/10

This day in particular we went to the old house to load up a few things from the backyard, like Corbin's sandbox and Ryan's weight bench. Corbin REALLY wanted to play in the dirt (there was a giant bald spot in the middle of the yard that always annoyed me), and she REALLY went to town. And apparently it was very tasty!


Also, right after we had arrived, she fell and re-scraped her knee. She cried for a minute, but then went about her merry way. Look how caked up with dirt it got! That was NOT fun to clean, let me tell you.


At least she had a good time, right? She really knows how to give it her all, haha.

134:365 Flower Child

7/4/10

Fourth of July...seems like forever ago. Oh, that's because it kinda was! lol

We didn't wear red, white, and blue. My Corbs wore a bright yellow dress and spent much of her day outdoors. Have I ever mentioned how much this baby loves being in nature? She's obsessed with all the trees in our new yard, especially the big Mimosa tree in the front. On this day in particular, she had picked some "flowers" and then went to stand under a tree. She was so happy.


Earlier that day, we got our very first scraped knee! She was not too happy, but it doesn't look so bad!

See? Not bad at all! (Until she scraped it for the second and THIRD time, but that's later, lol.)

And here's another picture of her basking in the sun under her tree. She loves it!

And later that night we got a free fireworks show. Someone obviously crossed state lines! Corbin was terrified, but I had fun. The new neighborhood is pretty okay. :)


Gotta watch out for the mosquitoes, though! I miss that truck that drove through our old neighborhood!

133:365 P-Sandwich Dance!

7/3/10

Speaking of peanut butter...Corbin eating what she refers to as a p-sandwich and looking very thrilled about it!


And how impossible is it to keep this baby clean?!


She's also a fan of Nutella, too. So we have p-sandwiches with Nutella, and I like to add banana to mine. Yum!

132:365 New Bathtub

7/2/10

First bath at the new place and one thing we learned VERY quickly is that the water gets SUPER HOT here! At our old place, I took showers with the hot water turned up all the way up as far as it would go. Here, you can barely put it halfway before it scalds your skin! No worries, no babies were burned in the making of this picture!



Although she did protest quite a bit to me wiping all the mess off her face. I'm assuming it's peanut butter, a staple food in the Corbi-lou diet. :)

131:365 Car Buggy

Oh, hi...yeah, it's been a while, huh? But HEY, it's time for updates!!! I'm exactly 6 weeks behind today. That's 42 days. HOLY MOLY. So I'm going to get caught up, slowly but surely, even though everyday that passes it another day I'm behind, haha.

Welcome to JULY!!

7/1/10

So this was our first official moving day, because we finally had utilities at the new place, and we went on over to Lowe's to get a key made since the machine was broken at Walmart. And I LOVE stores that have buggies shaped like cars!


Corbin was steering with both wheels until she found the horn, heehee.


And if you haven't figured it out by now, why YES, we do shop in our pajamas regularly! I don't really do it myself much anymore because I see waaaaaaaay too many of my students when I'm out and about, but I admit I had on some rainbow striped pants very recently on a Walmart excursion, lol. :)

Hi Friends!

This is only an update to say I SWEAR I'm going to update soon! Let's not talk about how I'm six weeks behind, okay?! Just know that I have been diligently taking pictures every single day and I think I've got some pretty good ones!

Keep checking back this weekend! :)
