Corbs 8 months



Corban I have been waiting for 2 weeks to write this post. There is so much that is happening right now in your little world that I have almost posted this early. Here is what we have been seeing you do this past month...

-Your light brown hair that is getting fuller and longer now. Your beautiful blue eyes is the first thing people say about you when they see you.
-Everyone says you give expressions like your big brother and the chubbier you get the easier it is to see the resemblance between you and Aaron. But my son, you are definitely your own person and have your own little expressions. I am loving watching this develop more and more the older you get.
-You are waving pretty much on command now. Sometimes you hesitate with strangers but you will wave if you know the person every time and usually there is some sort of babbling happening as you do it followed by a smile.
-Speaking of babbling...you are always talking. You look right at us and babble like crazy and look at us like you are actually saying something we understand. We LOVE it!
-You can say ma-ma, da-da, and of course throw a ba-ba in there too. Lots of other fun sounds and squeeks are coming out of you constantly. Including an 'unhappy, irritated' scream/squawk when you want something or your brother takes something you had. Brotherly love already...how fun!
-You are sitting up really well and are starting to scoot some. You are well know for being put down somewhere and when we look up at you, you have scooted about 5 ft in another direction. You can even go from sitting to on your belly on purpose to grab a toy. We see you attempt to get up on your knees but can't quit make yourself go anywhere yet. Mama is just fine with that:)
-Your biggest belly laughs are when Aaron is playing with you. You light up when he walks in the room and love to 'play' with him. I can see LOTS of wrestling matches on our living room carpet.
-You can sign 'more' when we ask you to...most of the time.
-You clap your hands when we say "yay" and smile really big. This is my favorite 'trick' that you do.
-You are most ticklish under your arms and your ribs.
-You nurse 3 times a day. Morning,sometime after lunch, and before bed. You will eat almost any food. Favorite foods/snacks are bananas, applesauce, green beans, puffs, and yogurt melts. You also love Ritz crackers.
-You sleep through the night pretty consistently. 7 or 7:30-about 6am(except for right now because you have a bad cold).
-You have 2 teeth. The bottom, middle two.
-You love peek-a-boo.
-Your favorite toy is Aaron's pretend snake. You use it to hit other toys. You have also discovered a love for my Tupperware cabinet.
-I feel like a broken record saying this...but you are still an easy going, happy baby. You pretty much just go with the flow take things as they come.
-This year was your first Christmas. We spent most of our time around Christmas in Melber with your grandparents and other family/friends.
-Daddy and brother are still your favorite people.

I can't believe you are 8 months old already! We love you:)
