Corey is 18 Months Old!

Corey is now 18 months old (as of Jan 1). What can I say about Corey at 18 mo? He is CRAZY! He is into everything and I cannot keep up with him. He is not the type of baby (hopefully it is a phase???) that can just chill. He has to be doing something, getting into something, eating something, destroying something or beating something or someone up. While I am cleaning up something he has done, he is onto something else and destroying something else or beating up Tate. Poor Tate. He currently has a black eye with cuts from Corey hitting him with a sword. He also had one of his fingernails fall off from Corey shutting his hand in the door. We are always trying to protect Tate from Corey (and Tate is 4!).Corey is a bit of a paradox. He is big, rough and insane. BUT, then he can be the sweetest baby who loves to snuggle and give kisses. Anytime Nathan or I have been gone from him, he runs up to us and gives us the biggest hug with lots of pats. He really is a sweetheart, which makes me believe he is not naughty to the core. :)He doesn't talk too much, although I am pretty sure he thinks he is talking. He says mama, dada, grandma, ball, bye bye, night night, baba. The rest is mostly grunts. He does pretty much call everything a ball or a baba. Hopefully he will learn some more words soon so we can understand what he wants. Now, he just grabs our hands and pulls us around places pointing to things and grunting. I know he has funny things to say, so I can't wait to hear what that is. For now, he always has a look on his face like he has in inside joke with himself.He still loves balls and dogs, as well as food. He will eat almost anything and anytime. I think he is starting to grow up more instead of out. He has his 18 mo checkup on Mon, so we will get his stats then. He is still a big boy and most people think he is over two (until they hear him try to talk). He was supposed to start nursery last week (which is what the pics of him in the red sweater vest), but he was too out of control in sacrament meeting and we had to take him home. Guess we will try again next week! Overall, he is a crazy, silly, funny baby that I am so in love with, I can't stand it!These last pictures are horrible quality (from my phone inside), but they show about 20 min with Corey. He climbed in the dryer, then ran through the house with a roll of toilet paper, then while I was cleaning that up, he got in the fridge and had a can of whipped cream. Then, once we caught him with the whipped cream, he threw it and might have broken Nathan's toe. Naughty.
