Codyisms

This boy is so fun, handsome, and ALWAYS, it seems, on a chair in the kitchen...

Recent favorite Codyisms...

Nolan: "You're Baby Bubba!"

Cody: "No! I'm not Baby Bubba - I'm Baby Potts!!!!!!"

(No idea where either name came from...)

Cody: Mom, can I have a cookie?

Me: No

Cody: Looks down and says "dang."

And perhaps my favorite of late...

Cody: "Mom, I crack you up."

True story.

At Least...

I got him to stop climbing!

Cody is...

Cody's actual birthday (Thursday) started with doughnuts and getting big brothers off to school. Then, Mommy and Cody went to the zoo! We saw all his favorite animals - hippos, rhinos, elephants, girraffes, lions and crocodiles. We also rode the merry-go-round (or "round and around and around") 3 times, the train 3 times and the tram 2 times. It was HOT, but oh so fun!!! After a quick nap followed by big brother pick up - we went to the pool for one last summertime swim.

  That night, cupcakes & presents...

The next night (Friday) we had a party! Grandma Sheri, friends, pizza and cake - and although we had to wait almost 2 hours for the pizza (ordering mix-up... in the end we got the pizza for free...) - we still managed to have a rockin' good time.

This is the before picture.

Never let it be said that this 2 year old doesn't know how to party hardy!!!

Watch Out World...

this little guy is now officially one!

Happy Birthday Codes! =)

Warning

You may get wet!

6 Months

OK, so Cody is really almost 8 months old, but we'll let that slide.

I decided it would be fun to compare pictures & stats for all 3 boys at this landmark age... (and yes, the pictures are actually from each boy at 6 months even if the post is a little behind)

Matthew

20lbs 5oz

29 1/2 inches

Nolan

17lbs 6oz

27 1/4 inches

Cody

21lbs 2oz

28 3/4 inches

And there you go - a peek at the past of my 3 sweet boys.

Cody & Nolan

Nolan is such a great big brother. He genuinely loves Cody and is always trying to play with him & make him happy. Here they are "swimming"...

- and for the record - Cody really is that big...

and, just 'cause he's cute...

Just For Fun

What say you?

Cody's First Haircut

It was time - the comb-over had to go...

So, on Valentine's Day (to make him even more irresistable) we gave Cody his first haircut.

Before

During



After

Now he looks like a little boy.

(Mad props to our awesome photographer - Matt!)

Cody's First Cereal

February 1st =

Cody turns 5 months old =

Cody gets his first go at rice cereal.

Can I just say, I don't know how I'm going to feed this boy when he's a teenager.

Cody Update

We had to reschedule Cody's 4 month check-up earlier in the month (because of crazy weather...) and finally got to go yesterday. So, technically, he's 4 and a half months, but you get the picture.

Our Little Cody

18lbs 10oz

26 inches

This is his darling hat Grandma just sent that screamed "CODY!" (I can't say that I think she was wrong.)

Success!

He finally got those toes in his mouth!

The Really Real Cody

I know people often get sick of other people constantly saying how adorable and perfect their children are, but in the case of my little Cody, it's all true.

It probably has something to do with the fact that his needs are pretty simple right now, he is only 3 months old - so not much gets to him if those needs are being met

(and he's too young to disobey or talk back...).

On another tangent... I always laugh when I see pictures of him, 'cause it never really looks like him to me. But Phil took these a few weeks ago, and they are spot on. So, all you Cali/Zonie relatives, here is a sneak peak of the little one. 5 days and counting...

You Can't Handle the Cuteness

At least I couldn't -

It's official!

Cody is now a full fledged member of Team Armadillo.

Yes, you are...

1 Month

Here's our Cody at 1 month - (2 weeks ago... someday, I'll get stuff posted in real time!)

Sick (Sun)Day

A few weeks ago, Nolan was feeling a little under the weather on a Sunday... so he, Cody & I stayed home from church. While home we...

Constructed a temple using blocks (inspired by the church magazine cover Nolan is displaying here... all his idea by the way!)

Notice how it evolved to include "Book of Mormon guys" a front lawn & diveway. I think if he doesn't become a soldier, policeman or fireman - Nolan may be an architect. =)

Gave Cody a bath (sorry no "during " pictures, but here's the end result...)

And, of course, cuddled with our little Cody

It was such a wonderful few hours... have I mentioned how much I miss my Nolan?
