Lucky 13

A couple of weeks ago, Corban started saying "uh-oh" It really makes us laugh. One day he said it as I opened the door to find him playing with the drawers in his room. He is not allowed to do that and was under Daddy's watch, so the "uh-oh" was comedically, and appropriately timed. He has also become intrigued by belly buttons, opening and closing doors, putting stuff in containers, and terrorizing Haley. He will bring me his "oops" book now when I ask him to, and he LOVES to run and collapse into his big bear's arms. He is funny.
He had a tough twelfth month as he has been battling bronchiolitis and had to be put on breathing treatments and 5 days of oral steroids. He was such a champ though. He was very happy, and if you didn't hear his wheezing or cough, you'd have thought he was fine. Thankfully, this past week he started feeling better and headed back to daycare. I really can't wait for cold/flu season to end!! Spent a lot of time this month feeling very thankful for all the support we have when it comes to help with our son. When he first caught it- my mom helped, then Jaime's mom and sis came in and were able to stay with him one day. When he relapsed, I stayed home a day-then my mom took over and even Lily ( my mom's housekeeper) helped for a day. Thank you Mother!! I often think of the phrase "it takes a village!"
Corban loves to figure out things-he stays pretty focused with his "projects" and when people come over, he likes to "show off" all his toys! He gets really excited and has the biggest grins! He sometimes gets so excited that he just has this sudden burst where he can hardly contain himself. He smiles really big, shakes his head back and forth really fast and will swing his legs. So happy. He also nods his head and will say yeh. Meaning yes. He also says joos (shoes) dAaall (ball). He points at everything and LOVES going on walks. He seems so eager to know what everything is. It's amazing to watch the world unfold through his eyes. I still can't wrap my mind around the fact that he is walking so well-neat to see, but a daily reminder of how quickly this adventure will go. As always, everyday is cherished.
He's still sleeping really well most nights. Usually from 7 until 5:45. This morning he slept until 6:30. Amazing how good all that sleep feels for all of us. He will blink his eyes at you if you tell him to show you his eyes. He likes to make us laugh and is silly. He pretend coughs and thinks that's funny.
Today Mammy and Grandpa came over for a little bit while Daddy was working to paint our hall bathroom. Then Corban napped for 3 hours-(!!!!) Then, we went to pick up Uncle Brandon from baseball practice and went to see Uncle Casey and Poppa at the house for a few hours. Corban loves his Uncles and Grandparents! Earlier in the week we got to enjoy a visit from Great Aunt Cici. It was nice to have her over to play! Corban, can't wait to see what tomorrow will bring with you in our lives. Everyday you warm our hearts in some new way.
