18 months!

It's hard to believe that Korbyn is already 18 months!  Of course she amazes us more and more everyday at how fast she is growing and understanding us.  

This is my new favorite picture.  Colton had just finished mowing the grass and he sat down on the steps and Korbyn just came and plopped down right beside him.  They sat there for a few minutes, long enough to get my camera at least!

 Speaking of the steps...my mom had brought Korbyn home after watching her for me one afternoon.  Korbyn knows how to go up and down steps, granted she still turns and crawls down them backward, but whatever she gets down them.  She was standing on the top step (right about where she is sitting in the other picture) kind of in a daze, so me and my mom turn around to look and giggle at her and Korbyn snaps out of her daze, smiles, and then proceeds to just walk right off of the step!  My mom had a much quicker reaction than I did.  She pretty much fell face first and either hit the edge of the bottom step or a rock and was about to flip her feet over her head when my mom reached out and grabbed her leg in mid air!  I kind of panicked and of course level-headed memaw just picked her up and held her and told me to go grab an ice pack.  We sat on the porch for a while calming her down and checking her out.  Poor thing.

Needless to say it left a mark.  I have to give Korbyn credit though, she RARELY cries when she gets hurt.  Most of the time if she runs into something or falls and I know it hurt, I'll watch her and she just rubs her head and gets right back up and keeps going.  We never made a big deal out of it when she fell, we would always let her pick herself back up.  So I don't know if it's because of that or if we just have one tough cookie on our hands.

She is really starting to get into the dogs more.  She is constantly wanting to pick up Pixie and hold her and will get frustrated after chasing her around the house for a while.  She's also gotten to the point when I hand her a snack she immediately walks over to Rocky and Pixie and tells them "no no!" while shaking her finger at them and then proceeds to eat her snack...I guess they stole it too many times already!

 I was getting dinner at Subway one afternoon and I just got sandwiches and the lady asked "you're not going to get some chips for the little one?"  uhhh...no.  So better yet she hands her a free cookie instead!  I could have taken it away from her and listened to her scream all the way home, but I figured one cookie wouldn't hurt.
