Happy Turkey Day!

I am so thankful for my little turkey. He has been such an amazing blessing in my life. I am so happy he is here. And, yes to all who wonder, he is a very good baby. He is sitting on my lap and holding my hand right now. He is often just chillin on my lap when I am blogging.

I am thankful for these things as well...

One day I will be able to crawl after you...

Up? At this hour on a Sunday!!!

Since I was up at this hour on a Sunday when I should be asleep still I thought I'd post a quick blog.

Cody is not as keen on posing for me as he once was. I have been trying to get one of the 2 of us but he has not been loving it. He'll get the hang of it again, I am sure. And to all you naysayers out there, I say he will always love the camera, he will have to since he told me he wants to be a male model. Just kidding. His cousins kept trying to kiss him. It was pretty funny. He just loves Drew. He kept trying to get his attention at dinner and Drew kept telling us Cody was hitting him. It was pretty funny.

Such a big smell for such a little guy, I mean smile. . .

You know what I love? Hearing my baby wake up happy, and coo a little. Then his face breaks into a huge sleepy smile when he sees me. It's the best.

I also love the moment we are having now, sitting on our computer ball chair, with him on my knee trying to type along with me.

Also, we have a tooth!!! It should be big enough for a picture in what, a month? Hahaha!

While sitting here on my knee Cody has become pretty stinky so we must go now. Toodles!

A compare and share, Thanks. I care.

This past weekend

This Ladies Man was checking out the big boy car seats. We got him one. It will be the car seat he has for the next 5 years. A 3 in one. He still has to sit backwards since he is less than a year old. He does a good job in the big boy car seat.
February

And tonight.. November 18th


My, how quickly they grow.

My baby love, ooo ooo my baby love

A quick update.

Cody has hair again! Woo-hoo!
And he is a one shoe wonder. Meaning when I put shoes on him very soon thereafter we are wondering why there is only one on his foot. How do he do it? And every time, too!

At his 9 month check up he weighed 24.4 pounds. That was Wednesday. 95 percentile. That's my boy!

What's up Cuz? As in cousin.

I got my copies of the awesome pictures we had taken of the boys. Cody and his cousins. I really wanted to get pictures taken for my mom for Christmas. Cody didnt really smile in any of them, but he is still darn cute, if I do say so myself. Thanks everyone for coming and doing this. I loved it.

Said it ain't so!!!

I think I am like those mom's from a few years back who got little crushes on the Blue's Clues guy. Only mine is on Johnny. As in Johnny and the Sprites. Did you see one? Could it be one? Johnny and the Sprites!

That's what it's all about! Cody's 1st Hallowen

A few pictures. He loved holding the basket.
My friend Lorina and I made those clown costumes when i was a freshman in High School. What 17 years ago? Was that how long ago that was? Those are some old costumes.
Cody spent the second part of trick or treating asleep with his costume next to him in the stroller and the pumpkin bucket propped on him. What evs, mom needed candy. Haha.
Yippie Turkey Day is on it's way!!
