Quick question...

Is it possible to be obsessed with your child? Because I am. Like, seriously can't get enough of him! I'm sure every mom experiences this, and it's probably the coolest thing in the world. I'm pretty sure I fall more and more in love with this little guy every day, even when I didn't think I could love him any more. His funny, goofy, flirty personality is really starting to show and it makes time with him SO MUCH FUN! I love watching him learn and explore new things that even the day before he might not have been interested in. I love our "conversations" and making him giggle. I hate when he's upset, but I love being able to soothe him (even if sometimes it takes longer than I'd like...). I also really look forward to his "unwinding" nap after we get home from daycare so we can just snuggle! I know my days of snuggling are going be numbered, so I try take every opportunity I can and embrace it! So what if my house is just a little more unkept than it used to be, or that my dishes need to be done, or my laundry needs to be folded. There's always time for that later! I'm just so loving every single step of this mom journey and get excited for my friends and family who are new moms who are about to enter this journey, too, because it's seriously indescribable how amazing it is! It also makes my heart hurt for those who won't get to experience it. I can't imagine life without my little monkey and I count down the hours every day until I get to go pick him up!

ALSO, really excited to spend our anniversary weekend away with just Tim, though...I'm going to miss Corbin every second we're gone, but can't wait for that time to just be husband and wife again! It's so important not to lose sight of that :) Love my boys so much!

6 Month Update!

I feel like I say this every month, but really, HOW DO I HAVE A 6 MONTH OLD ALREADY?!?! I still tell him every day to quit growing up, but he doesn't listen. We had his 6 month check up on February 25th and he weighed 18lb 2oz (63rd %) and was 24.75" long (1st %). His head size was also in the 97th percentile this time. Lots of brains! I was a little concerned about his length, but his Dr told me that he could probably re-measure and get a totally different number since it's so hard to get their length when they're squirmy. He had shots and handled them like a big boy, too! We have to go in towards the end of March to get the 2nd round of his flu shot. Our little boy LOVES his schedule, and while it's a blessing that he does, when it's off just a little he'll let you know! I'm nervous for daylight savings time to come. I wish it started on a Friday so we had all weekend to get "straightened out!"

Here's what we've been up to this month:

• SLEEP!
• Continues to be one of Corbin's favorite things, and mine, too! He takes about an hour nap in the morning, down to about a 2 hour nap in the afternoon, and still takes about a half hour-45 minute recharging nap after we get home from daycare.
  

• DAYCARE!
• We switched daycares at the end of January, and have been so happy with our decision! It's so nice being able to leave the house at 7:45, drop him off with a little time for kissing those cheeks, and still get to work before 8! There are two little girls who go there and he pretty much just flirts with them all day! He is always so excited to see his daycare lady and his friends every morning!
  

• FOOD!
• We're up to 2 meals a day of baby food (fruits and veggies). He's still getting the same amount of bottles every day. We've discovered that sweet potatoes are his favorite, and he definitely does not like carrots!! He'll start eating them, but then about half way through the container will just start crying/screaming! We're in the process of switching formula to Similac Sensitive to see if something different will help his spit up. He definitely hasn't been "projectile" spitting up like he was on the Gerber, and it's definitely happening much less often. Yay!!

• PLAYING!
• Corbin LOVES his piano still, as I've mentioned a lot in previous posts! He's also really figuring out the whole bouncing thing in his bouncer. He still enjoys rolling around on his play mat, but has discovered his toes, so that's usually what he plays with now. We just recently bought the VTech Sit to Stand walker, and he loves to explore that. It's so fun watching him reach for things and his reaction when what he touches makes noise!
  

• TEETH!
• Two teeth have poked through in the last couple weeks! You really have to look out when he wants to bite your finger, because those little buggers are sharp! He wasn't overly fussy and didn't have any difference in his diapers, so we're thankful for that!
  
  

• TOES!
• They can finally reach all the way into his mouth now! He really likes to play with them when he's laying on his back and when he's sitting. This usually results in a face plant while he's sitting, but he makes sure those toes don't leave his mouth when he does it! :)

• PICTURES!
• It might be a sign that I take too many pictures of him, but when I get my camera out, or hold my phone up, he instantly starts smiling! He's such a little ham. Dad took his 6 month pictures while we were up in Hallock, and they've been a hit with everyone who's seen them! I shared the picture with USA Curling and there's about 920 likes on the picture, a bunch of comments, and it's been shared over 150 times! Canadian Curling News is even using it in their upcoming publication. Can't wait to see that! :) We're working on his autograph now.
  
  
  
  

• COUSIN!
• Corbin welcomed his first cousin on the Caillier side on February 17th! Aspen Ann was born to Ross and Amy. I think he'll be a good big cousin and teach her everything she needs to know!
  

• COLD :(
• AND we're starting off 6 months with a cold. The dr's ruled out pneumonia and bronchitis, thankfully. It's just a virus that will have to run it's course. Thank goodness it's almost the weekend so we can relax and lay low!
