17 & 18 months!

At 17 months, Corbin had his first swimming experience! We went to Fargo and stayed at the Ramada Inn with my family. He was a little nervous at first, and not a huge fan, but once we got him in the big pool, he loved it!! He was such a trooper! The boys had so much fun together!

In February, he turned 18 months!!! How is that even possible!?

Physical Development

28lb (92nd percentile) 32" (36th percentile) Head 95th percentile!

He's running around like crazy and has recently taken to climbing. He's a little shorty still, so can't quite get up on all the furniture he'd like! He's wearing size 4 diapers, but size 5 at night. He's pretty solidly wearing 18 month clothes. He's been right on track as far as sizes go since he was a baby!

He's currently working on his 2 year molars, so that's been less than enjoyable for him. Between the red cheeks, yucky diapers, drool, and chewing on everything, I hope they come fast. Thankfully his mood has been fairly great!

Speech Development

Corbin adds new words to his vocabulary daily! He'll come up with words but won't repeat them all the time. Stubborn little boy! He is really getting into repeating things that you say, too. Time to start watching what comes out of our mouths! :)

Sleep

He sleeps 12-13 hours at night, and is down to around an hour and a half nap during the day.

Food

Pretty much anything and everything. His daycare lady said that he really loves feeding him because he eats anything!

We recently had to switch daycares because ours is moving away. We were so sad to leave, but we have found another great daycare and Corbin has really seemed to be adjusting well and fitting in. He recently had one of his friends from our previous daycare start, and it was the cutest thing ever how excited they were to see each other! :)
