9 months old?!

Well, I have a 9 month old. How is that even possible?! It literally seems like yesterday. Nonetheless, life is SO MUCH FUN right now!! Corbin is such a great kid, and that makes everything fun. Here's what we've been up to!

Baby Cousin!!
     Corbin got promoted again to big cousin on May 15th! Savannah and Evan welcomed baby Axel to the family. I am so in love with this little man, and he's going to know it! Auntie can't wait to spoil him! I am so excited to watch the boys grow up together.

Lake!

     We got to spend our first weekend of the summer out at the lake! Corbin, Jersey, and I went on Friday and Tim joined us late Saturday night. The kids and I had so much fun, and Corbie was such a good boy. I can't wait to do it all again this weekend! We had a picnic by the beach for snack time, had a bath on the deck, and even went on our first pontoon ride!

Dr Appointments

     We had our 9 month appointment yesterday and weighed in at a whopping 21.8lb (80th percentile). We are actually on the charts now for height, too! (27"--6th percentile) and head size 18" (70th percentile). He's following right along with his milestones and he even watched the nurse give him his shot and didn't even cry! He's such a tough guy!

Teeth!

     Tooth #5 is really really really close! He loves showing off his teeth when he smiles--which happens quite often! Thankfully we haven't noticed any change in behavior/diapers while he's been teething. Let's hope that continues as the rest of the teeth come in!

Barrel Rolling!

     Corbin's so incredibly close to crawling, but finds barrel rolling a much more efficient way of getting where he wants to go. It's pretty funny how he'll whip himself around in a circle on his belly, roll, rotate, roll, etc!

Sleeping!

     We've officially moved bedtime up to 8:15 now. We're in the process of cutting out our short evening nap. If I can keep him distracted enough he does just fine and then is really tired by that time. We're going to work towards 8:00, but that'll be the earliest we'll make him go down--otherwise we don't get much time with him!

Toys!

     A resident favorite is our John Deere block set, his toy John Deere combine, his big green monkey, his John Deere corn cob, and his firefly. It's pretty funny to watch him search out those specific toys. Such a smartie pants! :)

Food!

     We've mastered the art of Cheerios (thank goodness...cheaper than puffs) and are starting to explore "real" food. He definitely likes to be doing what we're doing and eating when we are, so we try share a little bit.

Life is pretty awesome right now with our handsome, funny, blue-eyed sweetheart!! He's growing up too fast though...
