TEAM COREN: June 2011

***Warning! Lots of Pictures!***

Yes this is about 10 days late, but try to cut me a little slack...we've been chasing after a one year old! YIKES! He's one already?!?! That went WAY too fast! Kane has not slowed down at all and we don't expect him to anytime soon. Now that he has pretty much perfected walking, he is attempting to run and even climb on things. He's had is fair share of bumps and scrapes but I'm sure they are just the first few of many to come over the years with this active little boy. Also no surprise that he is just a tad bit clumsy with the parents he has! Dad is just a little bit injury prone and Mom is not known for her gracefulness!

We all had a blast at Kane's 1st Birthday party. The weather ended up being perfect that day so we could all be outside for a while. Kane wasn't too sure about the cake at first but once he tasted it he dug right in! He really wanted nothing to do with opening presents (doesn't like to sit in one spot for more than 30 seconds!), but he did get some really fun stuff! Thank you to everyone that came to help Kane celebrate! We really appreciate you all coming and hope everyone had fun. There are some pictures below of the big day....

Unfortunately the day after Kane's party we noticed that he kept getting some eye boogers and on Monday morning his right eye was crusted/gooped shut (yes, these are the proper medical terms to use!). We couldn't take him to daycare so Cory took him in and it turned out that he had an eye infection and pink eye! UGH! Poor kid! He looked bad but you couldn't even tell that he was sick because he was as happy as usual. He's all better now though! We had to put off his 1 year checkup until next Monday because of the antibiotics and his Dr is busy until then, so I will post his stats after that.

Kane is quite the chatterbox now. He says, Uh Oh and Bye Bye really well. He'll drop things on purpose just to say Uh Oh and says Bye Bye the second we pick him up from daycare. He is doing really well at daycare too. They moved him up to the next room since he is getting more active and can do more of the activities. Sometimes I think he's too smart for his own good! He picks up the remote and points it at the TV, he picks up our phones (or anything with buttons) and holds them up to his ear and says Hi or Hello (sort of). He knows Acky and No but doesn't always listen to them, usually getting into something that he's not supposed to. And of course he knows Night Night.

He definitely loves to be outside, which is good that he got over his fear of grass! Now we just need to work on the water. He likes playing in the water with his hands but isn't too sure about being all the way in. We have a little pool set up in the backyard and we have been to city pool once. We have also been to one hotel pool and the pond. He'll get used to it eventually. He definitely loves his baths though!

Kane has 4 teeth now and eats pretty much anything! He'd rather eat what we are eating so sometimes it's a battle if he can't have it but we have learned how to distract him with other foods that he likes. He LOVES Goldfish crackers and he's a good water drinker but he's being kind of stubborn with the milk right now.

It has been one amazing year and we are so blessed to have this little guy in our lives. We are excited to continue watching him grow and become a little man. He's such a lover and has the best smile! Here are some pictures for the rest of you to enjoy until next time.....(note: Some of the pictures are a little older, from before his party and some are after).

P.S. Cory will be posting some videos soon!!!
