Babble Boy!

*UPDATE AT THE BOTTOM*

Corbin celebrates his 18 month of being here on earth tomorrow (not including the months in my belly). He has really developed into such an amazing little guy (literally speaking since he's still right at 21 lbs!). He has gone from not speaking (well he knows about 5 words) to sentences. My mom told me he was saying several different things when she watched him for that weekend. I thought, well she's just being nice and maybe is trying to make me feel better. Well Daryl and I made pot stickers the other night and he walked over to us and said, "Uh wanna taste". We were floored. Since then he has said tons of other things. For instance, "Uh whan bfast (I want breakfast)" "I whan sissy (I want sissy)", "thank a (thank you)", and several other things. He's really starting to mimic things that people say and do. He still only has 2 teeth, but eats just about everything from steak to grapes. I used to freak out about stuff like that, but at this point, he's been gumming that stuff for so long now, that he's gotten quite good at the art of not choking. He's also becoming quite the little dancer. Anytime music comes on he dances. Not just your typical dancing, but full on ballet, crumping, rocking out, etc..etc.. (it depends on the music). He was watching Bella Ballerina with Tatum the other day and has mastered the art of dancing on his tippy toes and twirling around. Tatum liked to dance when she was a baby (and still does). But I have to say that I think her brother is better. Music is his therapy and if he is in a bad mood, I blast the music and off he dances. He also is really good at throwing things. He's in love with anything that's round and he loves talking on the phone. He climbs on anything that he sees which is scary since I've found him on Tatum's dresser and almost on our kitchen table. He tried climbing on our gas range once (while it was going), but Daryl caught him in time. He definitely has no fear (which is completely opposite from sister). He will definitely be keeping us on our toes for years to come!
**UPDATE**
So we just had his 18 month well check today and I need to get him on Pediasure ASAP because he is still 20 lbs (not 21 like I was thinking). He's in the 2% for weight (dropping from the 5%). He really hasn't grown that much either dropping from the 59% to the 27% for height), so now I have to go through a series of thyroid tests and bring him back to check his weight. Also, when we were at the ped's, he was laying down on the table and I noticed something white in his mouth. The dude's got molars!! One on each side (on his upper side). So now he's got his two bottom teeth and his two upper molars. My ped said not to worry about it, but I still find it a bit strange lol. I just really need to focus on pushing the calories (although he eats about as much as his daddy).
