First of all, he is now able to climb onto the couch by himself! Climbing seems to be his new 'thing'. It involves a lot of grunting and straining, but eventually he gets his little leg up and then is able to pull the rest himself up behind it. It's pretty cute.
He has also decided it's fun to stand up on things...anything really. His favorite today was his red car that's made to ride or stand and push. He was standing on the hood. I've never seen this daring side of him before and while it makes the mommy in me want to not allow it to keep him bruise-free, it also makes me happy to see that he's a normal, healthy, active, toddler. So much different than the 2 lb. 14 oz. 32 week preemie he was almost 18 months ago. :) I love my baby boy!
Cory is also trying harder and harder to say more words. 'Daddy' is the only real word in his vocabulary right now but these past few days he has been forming the beginning sounds to several more words, including 'up' and 'cracker'. It's pretty cute because his mouth makes the shape but very little sound comes out. It's more of a whisper than anything. It makes me smile every single time. I really love this age.
One other thing that he has started to do more consistently is sleep through the night! WAHOO! If he wakes, it's around 5 a.m. and usually he'll just go back to sleep on his own. The other day he babbled happily for almost 45 minutes before falling back to sleep. If he does get upset we rock him for 10 minutes or so and lay him back down. No more middle of the night/early morning sippies. Makes me happy and sad all at the same time. He's really growing up.
