Swimming, Camping and Korbin

Steven and I always said that when we have a kid that it would not change what we do completely..of course there are some things that never will be as easy..like getting up and running to the store, but we didn't want to stop our life completely because of the little one. So we have tried to stay with our theory and our little one has managed to go to a swim park and camping all in the first 2 weeks of his life. Camping was quite a challenge for me..lots of dirty hands trying to touch his face, camp fire smoke, mosquitoes, and the hot sun! We only stayed for a few hours each day and I think that was enough for me to handle, plus it wasn't as enjoyable since I had to feed him every few hours and I would miss half the conversations and such. But over all I think it went well. The swimming trip went well as well..I wasn't able to swim so Korbin and I sat in the shade and watched the kids and the dad's go down the slides..it was very entertaining and I was very glad that Steven got some time to have fun.
As for Korbin, he weighed 9 lbs 1 oz when we left the hospital and less then one week later he weighed 9 lbs 13 oz, so I think he just might be a chunker! He has the strongest little neck that I have EVER seen on a newborn and his legs are very strong as well! I was holding him the other day and he pushed off me to stand up! CRAZY! He is a good little eater and a good sleeper. He usually only eats once or twice during the night, so I am able to get more sleep. He is a good little baby and we absolutely love him!

Steven and Devin after going down the slide at the same time. It resulted in some sore elbows and ribs. They had fun though!

This might possibly be one of my favorite pictures of Korbin.

Rachel and Bailey camping. Rachel was singing to her and giving her tickles, it was cute.

Steven, Ryan, and Devin getting ready to go down the freezing river on their bellies (I dont know who thought this would be a good idea!?)

Ryan going after Devin's flip flop after the belly event. About 4 seconds after I took this Ryan turned his ankle on a rock. He is now limping and the flip flop was never recovered.

Grandpa Rounds and Korbin, this was cute cause you don't see Grandpa Rounds hold tiny babies too often.
