Year in Review

What a difference a year makes!

May 2012

Weight: 7 lbs 6 oz

Height: 20 1/2 inches

Clothing Size: newborn

May 2013

Weight: 20 lbs 14 oz

Height: 29 1/4 inches

Clothing Size: 12 months

Teeth: eight (the front 

four on top and bottom)

Words: mama, dada (his favorite), 

hi (always accompanied with a wave),
ba-ba (bye-bye), ba (for bath),
and nana (for banana)

Sleeping: awesome, as long as he has

his binkie, his monkey, and his sound machine 

(set to the sounds of the ocean). He takes 2 naps 

a day (1 1/2 hours in the morning and 2+ hours 

in the afternoon) and sleeps through the night 

from 7:30 pm-6:30 or 7 am.

Appetite: HUGE! He will eat just about 

anything we give him. He takes his mealtimes very 

seriously, and his food rarely ends up on the floor 

or in his hair because it goes straight to his mouth! 

He transitioned well from formula to whole 

milk and is no longer taking a bottle.

New tricks: throwing his diaper in the 

garbage, opening doors (à la the velociraptors in 

Jurassic Park), turning on our little keyboard and 

"playing" the piano, and dancing (in the form of 

bouncing up and down and waving his arms).

Favorite toys: his Vtech activity walker has

been a solid favorite since he was 9 months, and
most recently he has been carrying around this
yellow bubble wand from Target. He also loves
turning our printer on and off, on and off...
Does that count?

Favorite books: "Peek-A Who?" and

"Hand, Hand, Fingers, Thumb"

Favorite activities: anything with water (swimming,
taking a bath, playing in splash pads, etc.), exploring
the great outdoors, getting chased and tickled by
daddy, unraveling toilet paper and paper towel rolls, 

and meeting/petting animals (especially dogs).

Least favorite activities: getting cleaned
up after mealtimes and when mommy hands him
off to his swim instructor and/or the sweet
grandmother who takes excellent care of him
during church while I serve in the Primary.

Adjectives that best describe Corbett:

intrepid, social, determined, capable, confident,

curious, adaptable, hungry, charming, chunky, 

sweet and stinky (he poops at least 3x a day).
