I Am Amazed by Him

Korbyn is waving now, but it's not a real wave, when he sees anyone his hand goes straight up in the air and he will hold it there for a while. HA! As if they don't see him or get the point! Also today while I was watching him play he was trying to crawl around and all of the sudden he stands up on his feet (with his hands still on the floor of course) for a good 5 seconds or more. I finally got a picture, it was the cutest thing I have ever seen and the bravest thing he has ever done (so far)! :) I am just overly amazed at the things he does. I will try to get a picture of him waving as soon as I catch him doing it again.

It is crazy how such a little thing like a smile or a babble can just melt your heart. But it does everytime I look at his little face and he smiles at me or every little word he tries to say. I love my little boy more than I could ever imagine loving anyone. He is so tiny, but yet, has soo much of my heart. I am so grateful to have the chance to be able to stay home with Korbyn and spend all the time I can with him. It is a hard job and sometimes it is so stressful I want to pull my hair out but I would not change it for the world. I am also thankful for Curtis for allowing me to stay home and for supporting our family so well. He is the best husband and daddy in the world. I couldn't imagine being anywhere else in my life right now. I am perfectly happy right where I am. With an amazing husband and a beautiful little boy.

Keeping Up With Korbyn

Korbyn is a big fan of everything he is not supposed to touch! I could name alot of things, but his favorite thing to get into is the surround sound that is on the bottom shelf of our TV stand. He will go up to it and turn it on and it will be really loud and scare the crap out of him. So this morning, I was looking on the computer and he got really quite (like babies/kids do when they are doing something they know they shouldn't) and I leaned back in my computer chair and tipped right over backwards...luckily I caught myself with my hip or that would of hurt! ha! Now that he is mobile, I can't turn my head for a minute or he is somewhere he shouldn't be! And he always does it with a big smile on his face!

Our Family

Curtis & I got married March 21, 2007. October '07 (7 months later) we found out that we were going to add to the family. Korbyn Curtis Barber was born May 7, 2008. 5 weeks premature, 3lbs 14oz, and just 16.5 inches tall. Since then, he has grown so much and is now almost 19lbs and is about 30 inches tall. He is such a blessing to Curtis and I. We can't imagine life without him. He has the most beautiful blue eyes (like his daddy) that will melt your heart! Korbyn will be 9 months old on February 7, 2009. Before you know it he will be turning 1! I can't believe how time has flown. Korbyn is still working on getting some teeth. Curtis and I wonder if he will get a tooth by the time he is 5 years old. HA! We are working on crawling still, and he is getting so close, I think it's just a matter of a few weeks and he will be cruising, getting into everything! Since I am a stay-at-home mom, I decided that this would be something for me to do in my free time (what little free time I do have). I just wanted to keep everyone updated on Korbyn and I figured that setting up a blog for everyone to see would be a great way to do it. The picture you see below is a recent picture from the San Antonio Zoo. His very first zoo trip. Hope you enjoy!
