This post chronicles what Corbin was up to from 6 months to the day he turned 7 months
loves playing with toys and sitting up
favorite toy is our little piano and blue ball
smiles when looked at
C has a super sweet spot for David. And gets the biggest smiles with D comes home from work. Little man is just the cutest baby smiler!

movement he is sitting up steady and can manuveur with his arms up and down from sitting. He is also getting up on his knees and rocking back and forth. He can also pick up his pacifier and put it back in his mouth :) Corbs is not crawling yet but is doing a cute scooting movement that I think G skipped. C seems very motivated to explore and get to objects he wants to check out!
sleep C is sleeping better and better each week.
With G I did one round of sleep training that lasted 2 days and was effective; Gav slept through the night without any interruptions starting around 4 months. Corbin's sleep has been more sporatic and less dependable. He started as a great sleeper and then started waking to eat around 3.5 months. With Corbs I have done 3 rounds of training, and think we are now in a groove. (I am dedicated to getting as much sleep as I can and believe that babies need help/training to sleep longer stretches so it has been interesting to me to watch the differences in our boys' patterns, but the overall effectiveness of training both of them.)
During month 6 we did 2 different series of sleep training to attempt to cut out his middle of the night wakings. The first was to elminimate his 2:30 wake-ups, and it worked on night 4. The second was to see if he would sleep later than 4:30 am and so far, it seems successful. It took more like 2-2.5 weeks of pacifier soothing to eliminate his 4 am wake-ups. At this point, his sound machine is the soother we have used for a week and he is sleeping from about 7-5/6am. In general, I would still say his sleep is a work in progress, but we are seeing progress!
naps Dude naps for an hour in the morning and 2-3 hours in the afternoon. He is a napping champ!
personality calm and sweet

routine C wakes around 6, naps around 7, for 30 minutes, and plays until 12 or 1, naps until about 3/4 and then plays until bedtime around 6:30/8... things are getting set more in place but are still flexible depending on his demands for the day.
Brother dressed as a fireman and decided to include c in dress-up time. I love little things like this that G initiates to include C in his play time adventures.
started
* eating solid foods and is doing a great job!
started
Corbin is very interested in food and has had the swallowing reflex since his start. It has been lots of fun feeding him baby food.
* He is teething too! Lots of drooling and nibbling on toys.
He had a full day of tears when his bottom teeth were starting to come in and mid-night sadness a few days later. I am ready for those 2 bottom teeth to give baby some relief!
