12 months

Corbin dumps his snacks out on the floor and puts the bowl on his head :)
He is a thirsty boy :)
I think he looks sooo big eating his snack...
My heart could juts burst because I love his cute face SO. STINKING. MUCH!
At 12 months Corbin weighed 22lbs 10oz (50%) and was 31 3/4 in. long (95%). He had only gained 1 lb from his 9 mo. appt... he's really slimming down (just has chubby cheeks and hands and feet still). It's not for lack of eating b/c he still loves to do that! I'm quite sure it's because the boy NEVER STOPS GOING! He is constantly on the move! Sometimes I just want to cry when trying to change his diaper or get him dressed because I literally feel like I'm wrestling a pig! Whew, who needs a work out when you have that?!
Corbin still isn't walking, but I can see his little wheels turning thinking about it. He walks behind toys and all around furniture (one handed). He will stand by himself, but then plops down to crawl (at a neck breaking speed!).
He is saying momma, dad (sounds like daaad), bubba, hi, bye (waves with both hi and bye), no (how he says it is so cute), bite, brrmmm brrrmmm (anytime he sees something with wheels).
He loves music and will stop what he's doing to listen intently.
His favorite books are the "feel and learn" books. He now tries to eat whatever he's feeling on the book. It's hilarious!
He can get on his ride on toys by himself now (but getting off is a little trickier-- he just sort of rolls off!).
Corbin eats three meals a day and has 2 snacks.
He also thinks he has to eat or snack whenever anyone else is too-- he BEGS until you give him a bite.
He likes pretty much everything.
We think he might be allergic to cinnamon... his face broke out in a rash with cinnamon applesauce today.
We're down to two bottles a day...
the boy likes his bottle and I'm just not ready to rip it away.
I know he's not going to Kindergarten with it (not even pre school!) so after
discussing it with his dr. at his 1 yr check up we're slowly taking away one bottle at a time.
He went from 4 a day to 2 a day fairly easy so hopefully the other two won't be hard to get rid of either.
He is wearing a size 4 diaper (and has been since around 4 mo?).
He wears 12-18 and 18 month clothes.
18 month sleepers and pj's.
We still only have one pair of shoes (Robeez) that fit properly and they are the 6-12 month ones (I think that's equivalant to size 3 in a normal shoe).
Corbin loves to have his head rubbed and will brush his own hair (not always with the right side of the brush though, lol). He can show you where his hair is.


And yesterday he started helping us "pick up".
He helped put all B's hot wheels away in the drawer and his blocks in the basket!
He gives real kisses now.
He pats us on the back while hugging us.
He can also "blow" if you blow on him he'll blow back, it's so cute!
We are so grateful for this 1st year of Corbin's life.
Although, it's bittersweet b/c it's gone so fast I truely love watching him grow and learn new things and his personality develop (wow, does the boy have a temper- he knows what he wants, that's FOR SURE!).
I can't wait to see what this 2nd year brings!

365: Days 44-46

Day 44:
Life w/ boys...
muddy muddy muddy!
i love it!
Day 45:
B was the last boy standing during musical chairs at his vday party.
This was his victory dance :)

Day 46:
FINALLY lost his 2nd top tooth!
You can see the big ones are already coming in pretty far!

365: Days 41-43

Day 41:
B wanted a picture of him holding Corbin...
this was as good as we got :) lol
Day 42:
No Picture :(
Ryan and I had our first date night since Corbin was born!
I figured I had to face my fear of leaving him (besides for work) since he is a year now...
We had a lot of fun (after we got done at walmart anyway) lol.
We went to see the movie, "just go with it" with jennifer aniston and adam sandler.
it was HILARIOUS. at least it thought so!
i laughed like a crazy person the entire time :)
it was nice to hang out with the hubs by ourselves for a few hours!
even though i did call my momma and check on my boys quite a few times... lol
Day 43:
Corbin's 1st birthday party cake!

365- Days 37 & 38

Or should I title this Days 38 & 37 b/c my pictures are backward?!

Day 38:
Yogurt face.
He'd eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner (and all snacks inbetween) if I'd let him!
Day 37:
He loves toy cars.
This one is his favorite :)
He looks so big playing cars and saying "brrrmmmm".

365- Day 36

Day 36:
B lost his 3rd tooth today.
1st tooth on top.
The other one is completely off on one side-- hanging down, but the other side is super tight.
Since it's been loose for a pretty long time, my assumption is that the permanent tooth is coming in and making this one tighter.
I told him we'll see how it goes for the next frew days, but we might be in for a trip to the dentist.
