Corbin is now 6 months old! And I have decided I just LOVE babies! I love being with him everyday!
His personality is developing more and more. He can be quite the silly boy! Corbin has become even more vocal lately. He makes many different funny sounds and even does a fake cough thing. Not quite sure what I think about really him screaming which recently started happening.
He can entertain himself for a while -with his toys and own body-he has found his toes and tries to suck them. I am enjoying that he distract himself a bit when I try and get a few things done..even though getting everything moved in and organized is slowing happening because he still loves to be held or at least likes you right by him. But those things can wait because I love playing with my little bud!
He loves being around people but I have noticed that he can be a little bashful at times. He smiles then looks away and puts in head in my shoulder then looks back-I think its cute. I did jokingly ask my mom if the way he acts when he is tired or hungry (basically when he is freaking out) reflects how he is when he is older..she laughed at me because of course that is just how babies are. I think he takes after me and needs his sleep or else he is not the happiest little boy. He just would rather play then sleep. But he is a smiley boy for the most part and Daddy can make him giggle the best!

I think he might be going through a 6 month growth spurt right now-or at least I am hoping that is what it is because this last week there have been 2 nights when he is up every 2 hours! no teeth showing through yet so I am going to blame my tiredness on a growth spurt-I was hoping he grew an inch or so over night because he sure needed it...he's a short one!
Lots of people keep asking me if he is teething because he puts EVERYTHING in his mouth but from basically day one he has always loved sucking/gnawing/chewing on anything he can get his hands on. So we will see if one pops through soon but I wouldn't be too sad or disappointed if not-the later the better! He reaches and grabs anything that is around him-I have caught his with a few things in his mouth that probably should not be....oops.
He loves eating..I swear he could eat all day if I offered it to him. (I think he gets that from both daddy and mommy...) He is going to chunk right up when he can eat as much as he wants... He has tried rice cereal and avocado so far. I thought I should probably wait to try anything else till his 6 month appt-Doctor said he can wait till 6 months for solids but I have been anxious to try just a little bit out because I think he has been ready-and I was hoping it would help him sleep better but I later read that is a myth...bummer because sadly to say this boy still wakes up twice to feed at night!! He does go to bed around 6:30 and wakes up usually around 6:30-7:30. I am hoping to break that habit of eating during the night but we have tried and failed and it makes it more miserable for all of us...so I am not quite sure what to do. He usually takes about 3 small naps a day, he can't be awake much longer than 2 hours. When we are home I feel like I have a good handle on everything but when we go out he fights sleep and gets a little messed up. But I think we both enjoy getting out! :)
Well we now went to his 6 month appt because this is taking me forever to right this update on Corbin..and trying to find the camera and cords in the middle of moving..
His 6 months stats are: Height 25 inch which makes him in the whoppin 7%, weight 16.1 21%, head circumference 17.7 in 82%...still has a big head. So I really don't have that chubby of a baby but due to his short stature his body his compressed and makes him appear larger than he really is...hmm when you have two parents with slightly the same probablem he was only doomed to turn out that way....sorry buddy!....or maybe it is just his big head??..
But as everyone always says-I cant believe my baby boy is growing so much! I think he is getting so smart already too! (takes after his Dad! (: ) Sure do love being this boys mom!
