No more Baby Food!

For the last week Korbyn has REFUSED to eat his baby food. I just figured it was a stage he was going through since we werent at home but he still didnt seem to interested in it when we got home tuesday. I was getting a little concerned so i looked it up on the internent and there are A LOT of posts from people with babies about 7-8 months so refuse to eat baby food! It said to try giving him food that he can use his own hands to feed himself. I went and bought him some more fruit puffs and cookies and got some yogurt bites as well. He loves them and feeds them to himself pretty good. Ill just put a few on his high chair tray and he picks them up one by one and eats them. I was expecting him to try stuffing all of them at once in his mouth but he didnt. We also made him some mashed potatoes and let him eat them off his tray. He ate about half and then just wanted to play with the rest. Hes been feeding himself his bottle and sippy cup for a while now and he is very independent so i am not suprised! He also loves eating watermelon, strawberries and otter pops inside his mesh baby-feeder.



Then this morning i noticed that all 4 of his top teeth are coming in. Im sure that probably has something to do with him not wanting to be spoon fed as well. Two of them broke through his gums and the other two are almost there so it wont be long before my baby boy has 6 teeth!!!!!!!!

Playground of Dreams

Travis came down to see Korbyn and I on his day off today. We went out for lunch with his sister, brother-in-law and niece Kali Jo and then decided to take Korbyn to the Playground of Dreams in Kennewick. I had never been there before so i wasnt sure what to expect. Korbyn had a fun time...it was pretty humid that day so we didnt stay there too long.





Korbyn has always LOVED swinging. He was always in his baby swing when he was a newborn and he has been on the swings at the park in prosser a few times so the first thing we did was take him to the swings! I think he was distracted by all the other toys cus he didnt seem to be to interested in it.




We took him around to some of the other toys and he was being so funny! He usually gets all excited and squeals and screams but he was being quiter then normal and kinda just studying and taking in everything.



He thought the tic-tac-toe board and musical toys were pretty cool. Although i think he just wanted to get them into his mouth!!




We had fun in the boat as well. He kept moving the steering wheel like he was driving...and of course he was trying to get it in his little mouth as well.


Travis took Korbyn on his first Slide!! Korbyn didnt really have a reaction to it but im sure he will love slides when he is a little older!



I had no idea that there was a little water park thing at the playground. Its super cute it has a bunch of fountains that sprays water everywhere. I will have to take Korbyn back there sometime to play in the water. Overall, Korbyn had a blast but i think he was a little too young to really enjoy all the toys just yet...but momma sure had a fun time!

Boating

Since Korbyn loved his little swimming pool so much Travis and I decided to take him to the Aquatic Center in Moses Lake. Once we got there we ended up going boating with his parents and room mate Eric.





We found a sand bar and parked the boat on it in the middle of the lake and set up and umbrella and play pen for Korbyn to play and take a nap. Well he wouldnt take a nap i think he was too excited cus he loves swimming so much!!! I took him out in the lake and he LOVED it he was all smiles and giggles.






He did take a nap on the boat when he was all wrapped up in a towel and life jacket. Im sure it was a much needed nap with all the excitement and fun he had swimming!
