Every single day Corbe.n is doing something new and I feel like I need to document what he's up to, so I never forget how amazing this age is. I'm sure I'll have to come back and add in the things I've forgotten. Let me say in advance that I apologize for the crappy iPhone pictures.
He can now make the appropriate sounds when you ask him "what does a dog say" and "what does a lion say". It's absolutely precious and I want to get it on video so bad, but he has a melt down every time he sees my phone because he wants to play with it.
I have no idea where he learned this one... He has a peekaboo flap book and one page has a penguin and says "peekaboo, flap flap flap, can you flap like penguins do". This week out of nowhere he started flapping his arms after I read him the last part. Amazing.
He can point to his nose, belly, and belly button (his obsession) when you ask him where they are.
He dances when you say "dance dance". It's the cutest dance ever. We call him Happy Feet. He also spins in circles when you say "spin".
He can say tickle, yummy, hi, daddy, mama, baba, out, this, what's that, dog, and thank you. Of course he repeats a lot of words we say too.
Every time we go outside for walks he points at every single tree and says "this?" or "what's that?". Please learn the word tree Co.rben, lol.
He's learning how to blow kisses.
He was going through a period of not wanting to eat and it was SO frustrating. That's when I figured out that he wants to feed himself with the fork or spoon. So now I load the food on the utensil and he grabs it and feeds it to himself. He's SO proud too and gets a big smile every time he does it. He will eat off of a plate now. He also is starting to hate his highchair, but we found he'll eat in a regular chair. I need to get a booster seat pronto!

| This was a messy "feed yourself" experiment. |
He's about to sprout tooth #5 and #6. Yowzer!
This week he seems to think that his nap should just be 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Not cool buddy!
When standing up he has started bending over and resting on his head (think yoga position downward dog) and then he'll take off running on his hands and feet. Hilarious!
He wants to have his shoes on all the time. He'll bring them to you and whine until you put them on him.
 |
| Well buddy you already have shoes on, sooo I'm not quite sure what to do here. |
He loves to put his block or Lego container on his head. He looks like space boy, lol.
 |
| Don't worry he can take it off super easily. |
He's constantly pretending to talk on the phone. This is one of my favorite things.
 |
| What you can't talk on your silverware? It's the newest technology. |
He speaks his baby alien language all day long and really thinks he's saying important things.
He brings me his block container to open for him. It warms my heart.
When he sees something he wants he points to it and says "this!".
When I'm sitting on the floor he'll sit in my lap when I ask him to or when he wants me to put on his shoes or read him a book.
He loves to run from me when he knows I'm trying to get him for a diaper change or something.
He loves to have his teeth brushed and will come running if you ask him if he wants to brush his teeth.
When I say "back massage" he starts pounding on my back.
He understands so many things that we say. It blows my mind.
I can't wait to see what tomorrow brings!
