New kid

I feel like ever since her birthday we have this new kid in our house.  It's just so weird how almost over night they can change!  Korbyn is now a pro at walking.  She can even stand up now from crawling, where before she had to crawl to something to pull herself up on. 

 Two weeks ago we went to San Saba and we brought along her walker that she got for her birthday.  We got there Friday evening and usually leave on Sunday.  It was like a switch went off!  Right after lunch on Saturday she just took off on her own!  Ever since then she's unstoppable :)

 She can even walk while drinking her sippy cup...pretty advanced, I know!

 Ohhhh her toothbrush.  Ever since she got her two bottom teeth we brush them every morning and every evening and she can't wait to do it!  Even if she sees her toothbrush on the counter she wants to put it in her mouth.  The only problem is she now wants to walk around with it in her mouth.  Sorry kid, not happening.  I can just imagine that thing lodged in her throat when she falls down on it. 

She's also gaining personality and attitude with every day.  We got these cute headbands for her birthday and she grabbed them off the table (yes, OFF the table) and brought them both to me to put them on her and she insisted that she wear both of them and just continued to play with them on her head.

 And her new favorite thing is suckers.  She wants to hold them all by herself without any help.  Unfortunately for her we'll only let her have them when she's sitting with us.

I was thinking the other day that it must be innate in all children to push their limits and be defiant to some degree.  Korbyn has somehow picked up on these things already!  We have a night light in our living room that she loves to pull out of the socket just because we tell her not to.  Colton was on one couch, I was on the other (behind her) and she kept going over to it and wanting to pull it out.  We tell her no and then if she does it again we'll go move her away and if she goes back then she gets a little pop on the hand.  Well that night she was standing right in front of it, not touching it, but just smiling at Colton.  He told her don't touch it and walked into the kitchen.  This little fart watched him walk out of the living room and as soon as he turned the corner she went to grab it.  I guess she didn't know I was behind her because I was watching her and as soon as she went for it I said "Korbyn, NO!" and she jumped and just walked away from it like "what?  I didn't do anything!"  She's also started to "run" away from us.  If I see her pick up something that she's not supposed to and she knows that I'm coming to take it away from her, she'll giggle and turn and try to walk away as fast as she can to get away from us!  Where do they learn these things?!
