A little Coby update



Coby has changed SO much in the last 2 mos. I think most of it has to do with all of the extra attention he is getting at Grandmas, (and I'm sure being away from the lead helps too)! He's started talking, what a relief! He has about 30 words and he's really starting to use them. His favorite one is "go, go go!" He usually says this while he's holding his shoes in his hand trying to get me to put them on him so he can go outside. He loves to be outside. He's also started to interact with Chloe and Taylor a lot more. He does great with both of them one on one. And occasionally he plays with the two of them together. I think they are finally starting to see him as a little brother and not so much of a baby. He towers over Taylor and is now taller than Chloe. He's outgrowing some of his 3T clothing and I'm starting to buy him a size 4T. He is a GIANT baby. He wears the biggest size diapers they make so he better start working on his potty training or we'll be in trouble. He's also become quite the daredevil and it's so bad I can't take him to the park anymore unless I have Jake with me. He will dive off the top of the 12 foot rock wall and go head first down really big slides. He had a group of 8 year old kids watching him on the slide the other day saying "woah he's so brave!" I'm not sure brave's the right word for it. :) Oh and Grandma actually got him to eat some grilled chicken! He's becoming less picky about what he eats, never thought I'd see the day! All of these recent changes have really made a difference for all of us and now I actually think I can manage having 4. Good thing since I've only got 3 months to go before the little one arrives!

Natalie, I'm so happy to hear about Coby's improvement. It's also nice to know that there is another mom out there who understands what it is like to have a daredevil in her hands. Oy.

How scary about the lead-hopefully it had nothing to do with his development (didn't effect his growth at all!). I can't believe how big he is and so handsome! LOL to the diapers-you may be buying Depends way sooner than you ever imagined....haha

Oh my goodness... the picture of Coby with the sock monkey--I see so much of Sophia. They really look a lot alike at that stage. Sophia could seriously be Coby's twin, just a few years seperated. :) Those pictures are really cute with the water table! We're looking forward to seeing you guys and Olivia is going to be really happy to have someone close to her age that she can actually play with. :)

A 4T! Wow he has sprouted.
he is so adorable. You are going to be awesome with 4 little ones running around and I can't wait until Hood to Coast 2010 so I can see them all together.

What a handsome guy! I can't believe how big he is!

I'm catching up on your blog and these photos of Coby made it seem like I missed months, not weeks. Impressive gene pool!
