I cannot believe Corbin will be 22 months (almost two?!) tomorrow. I haven't done an update on him for a few months. Time just slips away from me! This is mostly for me to remember my sweet boy and what is going on with him at this age so some details might seem boring to
ya'll, but I want to remember them!
*He weighs right around 30lbs and is over almost 37 in. tall!
*Wearing 24 mo and 2T clothes (both fit pretty good- some 24 mo are too short- depends on brand). He wears a 6 or 6 1/2 shoe and still has insanely fat feet that are hard to fit in shoes!
*Sleeping in a big boy bed. We made this transition in November when he learned to crawl out of his crib. He has done
sooo well. He is sleeping in a twin bed w/ a safety rail. We tried converting his crib to a toddler bed and he hated that. Thankfully the twin bed did the trick and we're all back to our normal sleeping habits.
*A great eater for the most part! It kills me that some days he'll want 3 helpings of something and two days later he'll spit that same thing out like it's
poison. It makes meal planning a little tricky, but there are a few things he never refuses so if all else fails we feed him yogurt, cheese, bread, or mandarin oranges :)
lol and I try to remember he isn't going to starve just because he refuses to eat much for lunch one day.
*He says a lot of different phrases/words-- he just doesn't say them nearly as frequently as B did at this age. So when he talks and things I didn't know he knew how to say come out I'm a little surprised sometimes! It's so sweet to hear him talk that I try to coax things out of him all the time.
lol! He talks to
Brycen more than anyone and it's hilarious. His favorite is to point at the "toy room" and stomp his foot and say, "Go pay
bubba." (go play
bubba). He ALWAYS wants his
bubba to play with him. On Wednesdays while B is at school you'd think he'd be happy to have me to himself, but
noooo he asks all day, "Where
Bubba at?".
*Speaking of playing his favorites are still blocks and cars. B and I made home made play
doh Sunday and we let Corbin play w/ some- he thought that was a blast (after he tried to eat it first of course,
lol).
*He is doing really well with not touching the tree still. I finally put the presents under there yesterday. I was really worried that he would bother them. He didn't even seem to notice them (although, he knew they were there b/c he "helped" me put them under there) until right before bed time and he took a couple out and when I looked at him he hurried and stuffed them back under the tree,
haha!
*He will FINALLY make all the animal noises. In fact it is one of his favorite books right now (the one that shows all the animals and lists their sounds). His other favorite book is Sheep In A Jeep :) -- his favorite page of course is , "Uh-Oh the Jeep Won't Go". He repeats that line w/ me every time! He loves to point out and name all of his body parts and all of everyone e
lse's :)
*He warms up to men much quicker than to women. I account this for the fact that he is a daddy's boy. He loves his momma... until daddy gets home! He's a man's man that is FOR SURE. He gets up on the couch and lays back and holds the remote just like Ryan. You just have to laugh b/c it shows a true picture!
haha! He's
sooo rough and tumble. He always has bruises, cuts, knots, etc. He literally just runs straight into things and bounces off and keeps going. It cracks us up!
*In public or around crowds he seems to have a pretty laid back and calm attitude. HA! This is FAR from the truth... He is a
CRAZYYY kid always into something and throws huge fits if he doesn't get his way. He gets the laid back in public part from his dad and the stubborn fit throwing from his momma (what can I say?)
lol it sure isn't pretty!
*He can sure be a snuggle bug. He doesn't really like to be held all that much, but he will crawl up and lay beside me, B, or Ryan and snuggle for quite a long time. It's
sooo sweet! I used to rush home and rush to start supper and rush rush rush to get everything done so I could sit down. I felt like it was hard to pay him attention and then he was fussy etc... so I've started fixing him a cup of milk when we get home and sitting on the couch and just snuggling for 10-15 min. before I start fixing supper and getting into the craziness of the night. It honestly has helped BOTH of our moods so much-
Brycen usually needs this time to unwind and watch a little TV or just chill too. I'm so glad I discovered that we all needed this short amt. of time to make our night go so much smoother.
*He loves to give Bella (our dog) snacks. He will go to the laundry room above the desk area (where we keep the snacks) and say, "
dogggg nack or
bella" (Dog snack for Bella). When you get the container down you'd think he won the lottery, he dances and does a happy jig! It's so sweet. Bella's probably going to get fat from all the "
nacks" she gets :)
*Speaking of dancing- this is a favorite of his too. B and him will turn on the radio or a
cd in our room and dance away. Those two just crack me up! We need to video this ASAP.
I know there is more, but I have to stop somewhere. I could go on and on about the joy this boy brings our family every day. Our family isn't perfect, but we're perfectly in love with each other and we are so blessed <3
I hate that Brycen's closet door is standing open in this picture, but the kids were playing.
love this boy and his big beautiful smile!

Playing army trucks is hard work- C fell asleep like this! When I went to pick him up there was a big puddle of drool! :) too funny!
These two are enjoying riding tractors and other ride on toys in the unfinished basement :)
Saturday night we went pretty late to 
He's number 4- he wants to tape a 0 beside the 4 so he can be the same number as Cody Z :)
His team name this year is
