Corbin will be 2 months old next week and he has been amazing me with all the new baby things he is doing. Here are the 10 latest updates on my sweet little boy:
1. Corbin smiles! He smiles at people when they talk to him - its super cute!
2. Corbin "talks"! He has been coo'ing for a while but these last few days he actually talks back to you when you talk to him. For instance, if you say "ah-gooooo" to him (his favorite word) he says "ah-gooooo" back! It's super cute because he looks into your eyes when he says it like he is communicating with you!!
3. Corbin is HUGE! He weighs somewhere around 12 pounds and he has grown tremendously. He is already wearing 3-month sizes!
4. Corbin SLEEPS AT NIGHT! This one is my favorite. He has been sleeping from about 8:30pm-7am every night. He does wake up once or twice for a feeding but for the most part he is knocked out. I've even been getting consistent 5-hour blocks of sleep. I'm knocking on wood right now but this is amazing for me.
5. Corbin eats A LOT during the day! Although he sleeps most of the night, during the day he has been eating a lot - like every 2 hours still for 20-30 minutes (sometimes an hour). I'm wondering if this is my payback for sleeping at night - but if it is, I'll take it!
6. Corbin is a very social little boy - he loves seeing new faces and smiling at them. He especially loves his grandmas! He likes it when they talk to him. :)
7. Corbin's favorite toy is a playmat with a star that has lights and plays music. He smiles so huge and kicks around in excitement whenever we lay him down on it.
8. Corbin loves to sit up - and HATES to lay down when he is awake. This may have something to do with reflux.
9. Corbin can "stand" for a minute or two with assistance. He will tense up his whole body as well as his legs and we will prop him up and let him "stand". I'm wondering if he'll be walking before crawling.
10. Corbin doesn't like tummy time at all. This is his least favorite activity. I'm not too concerned since he is sitting and holding his head up on his own most of the time.
OK - I feel like your stereotypical bragging mom but I'm so proud of my son! He amazes me more and more every day and I love him sooooo much!
On an update of me - I'm doing pretty great these days. My mom is here to help me for the month of July and I am very grateful. I'm going to start working again next week with my easy work-from-home job to make some side-cash to buy a BOB Revolution stroller. I've been getting out of the house quite a bit with my lil' bub in tow - or with the grandmas babysitting. Evans and I have been on a date and I plan on going on a girls night out this Friday. I feel like I can have my cake and eat it too! I hate how hot it is though and can't wait for it to get cooler so I can do more activities outside. I feel really bad bringing Corbin outside because he sweats so much and then has to make up for it by eating too much afterwards to rehydrate.
Well - that is pretty much all that has been going on here. I'm looking forward to getting out more with friends now that I feel comfortable with the grandmas babysitting. Let me know if you wanna go out!!
