A week of firsts

Well this week was a week of fun firsts for Mr. Corben. He went to his first movie, first day at the car dealership, and first time to the science museum. I really do not know what I did to deserve such an amazingly good baby, but he is so easy-going!

On Monday, we went on a Mommy/Corben date to see Soul Surfer. Great movie, by the way. I was expecting that Corben would just sleep in my arms the entire time, but he didn't. He stayed awake and watched the entire movie. Didn't make a peep.

He loves to watch tv by the way....which is totally his own doing, I have never set him down in front of the tv. If a tv is on, he will crane his neck and contort himself into weird positions in order to watch what is on the screen. Since noticing his interest in television, I have tried putting on baby friendly channels for him to enjoy. He just cries. Lucky for me, he is fine with Kathie Lee and Hoda and The Doctors!

On Wednesday we spent our morning at the car dealership getting the tranmission mount in Steve's car replaced. 3 hours and about 20 compliments later, I took my happy, pleasant baby home. He and I sang our songs, had a bottle, played with his toys, walked around, and played airplane while there. Corben smiled and giggled the entire time....no fussing. So impressed!

Today, a friend and I wanted to go to Body Worlds at the Arizona Science Center. It was incredible. Corben seemed to enjoy himself a lot more once I took him out of the stroller so that he could look around. I am becoming increasingly aware of and impressed with his attentiveness and alertness. He sure doesn't miss a beat.

That about sums up our week! It was a busy one, but nothing compared to what lies ahead next week. Corben will finally learn what it means to be the child of a dance teacher. It is recital week and we will be spending a great deal of time at the high school for rehearsals, dress rehearsals and finally recital! Most of our practices are during the day when my parents are at work (he usually goes to their house when I teach), so Corben will be tagging along with Mommy! I am not anticipating any issues with my happy little man. Plus, there will be plenty of hands willing to give him a snuggle when I need to be giving my attention to the girls!

Here are a few cute pictures from the week :)
