One year old!

Ahhhh, I have a one year old!!!!! The last year has been the fastest year ever, and has been the best adventure ever, too! I've certainly learned a lot about myself, Tim, and our parenting styles. We've really been on the same page about most things, so that's been great! Corbin seems to teach us something new every day, and I've loved watching him grow into the little boy he's becoming. It's amazing how much he's changed even in the last month or two. Motherhood has literally been the best thing ever, and I'm so blessed to have such a wonderful little guy! Check out his first birthday here! Here's what we're up to:

Food!
Corbin is down to one bottle a day (at night). He eats all his meals with us and snacks in between as well. We've just recently started him on whole milk and he's been doing great with it! We haven't really found a food he dislikes, either. He isn't picky, he just wants to be sure we're feeding him while we're eating! We've started ordering off the kid's menu at most restaurants and that seems to be going well, too!

Mobile!
Pretty sure he's the most cautious kid ever. He LOVES walking around while holding onto our hands or cruising along the furniture. The moment he feels like he might fall or that he doesn't have something to hold onto, he wants to sit down and crawl. He's so nervous about sitting down, too! Usually his hand has to go down first to see how far it is to the floor. Little turkey! In the past could days he's been all about climbing, though, so maybe he's coming out of his shell. He's been standing by himself for longer chunks of time the last couple days, too, so I don't think it'll be long before he's a walker!

Wheels!
He is OBSESSED. That's the only way I can put it! He is so fascinated by wheels and loves watching them, spinning them, playing with them, and especially steering wheels! He is also in love with the little cozy coupe cars and if he sees one, that is the ONLY thing he wants, and he wants to be in it right now!

Books!
He loves looking at books and "reading". His favorite are the touch and feel books that have different textures for him to touch. He will sit in his room and pull every book off the shelf and sit and page through them.

Dancing!
He loves music and is really getting into dancing!! It's pretty cute! He just bounces and "sings"

Baths!
As soon as the water starts, he is bolting into the bathroom and standing up at the tub! He gets SO excited about bath time!! Even when the water isn't running or it's not time, he goes in there and thinks he needs to be in the tub.

Tricks!
His favorite is "SO BIG" and then he claps after! He also waves bye bye and we're working on blowing kisses. He still says Mama and Dada. He talks steady, but most of it isn't words. He knows what a tractor is and will go find you one if you ask. He LOVES puppies, especially Jersey, and will point out a puppy if one is nearby!

Personality!
Corbin is seriously one of the happiest kids I know! The only time he isn't happy is if we're taking too long to put food on his plate or he's getting tired. He isn't scared of other people, smiles so easily, and just has such a sweet personality! He's a little goofball who loves when people laugh at him--it just encourages him to be even more goofy!

Naps!
We're starting to wean away the morning nap! He hasn't been taking a very good nap in the morning and really fights it sometimes, so at daycare, he's going to have a morning nap every other day to help wean him off of it and make sure he still gets enough sleep. Yesterday was our first day of this and he seemed to do just great! Just another sign he's growing up :(

One year checkup
He'll have his one year check-up on September 2nd. Anxious to see his stats!

Love this sweet little dude!! The first year has gone by so fast, and I only hope time can slow down because we have so many more memories to make! Looking forward to our new adventures with a busy one year old!
