3 years

I guess I kind of dropped the ball on this one… Coby has only been 3 for over a month now.

In the last year Coby has come extremely far and has grown more than I think we ever expected. He is still a super tiny guy, but seems to be doing just fine physically. In the last year we were able to get him into some “schooling” where he received both physical therapy and speech therapy and it has honestly helped him more than anything I think ever could have. He has gone from a basically non-verbal boy to someone we can have a full conversation with. He still struggles with a lot of words, but he has found his voice and we are so proud of him. He is still incredibly clumsy and trips and falls all the time. We hope that we will be able to find a new program here in New York where we can get him back into physical therapy to help with that, and also into speech to continue his growth with his language. I guess the only thing I can say is that we are so proud of this kid and his strong will to keep growing!

Stats:

Height – 3’1”

Weight – 29.8lbs
I don't have the exact percentiles, but I do know in both height and weight he is between the 25th and 50th percentile. So that's progress! 

Likes:

Trucks – to say trucks are his favorite would be an understatement. He calls them “hucks” but he loves them so much that he even says bye to them as we are driving down the road. Every time he will say, “bye huck, see next time!”

Anything with wheels – not only does he like trucks, but he likes trains, cars, airplanes, anything that moves he loves.

His brother – he pretty much will repeat everything Lucas says, he also follows him pretty much everywhere. It is very cute!

His daddy – he is most certainly a daddy’s boy, he will run to Vinnie before anyone else in the world.

Blaze and the Monster Machines – I thought for a long time Coby was never going to find a favorite show/character, but I guess he just needed a show all about trucks to find his favorite.

“Blazing” – okay really it’s just running, but anytime he can he will yell, “let’s blaze” and then go running toward his chosen location.

Dislikes:

Eating – he is not a fan of sitting at the table or eating on a schedule. He will fight tooth and nail if he doesn’t feel like it’s the right time for him to eat.

Diaper changes – He most certainly hates them, but doesn’t care enough yet to want to potty train. He has made some indications but every time we try he is still not quite ready to follow through.

Being roared at – I know that seems like a really odd statement, but he hates it and Lucas thinks it is hilarious to do it. So Coby screams and runs away until either mom or dad stop the interaction.

Sitting for story time – we have learned to just let him run while we read, we just hope he’s semi listening as he runs.
