He's Cruising!

Cody can pull up on anyway whether its our legs, holding on to a toy or furniture or even just the wall. He can balance by himself and take a step or two and then just lunges to his destination. He loves pushing this truck around...a fun birthday gift from Khaki (Kathy is a special lady that works with Jason and loves us and Cody like her own children/grandchildren). It won't be long before we have an independent walker on our hands.

July Favorites!

I love that you can see Cody's little curl in this picture.

He loves playing on the couch and chair.

And has finally learned how to slide off but still doesn't always know where the edge is.

Cody is so sweet and such a chatterbox.

He stands holding the back and then lets go and plops to his bottom and laughs.

What a little man!

Killer eyes!

Silly Grin!

So Serious. He loves anything that stacks.

And sits contentedly playing with the play food Sarah gave him.

Begging me to open the cheese puff in Target. I gave in this time but trying to not get in the habit of that. I have to hide the bag now when I buy them. If he sees the bag, even on the shelf, it's not a pleasant scene. These are his favorite snack and we have to limit him or he'd eat them all day every day. It's now a special treat!

Enjoying the ball from Bubbie.

Cody loves cups and will put things in and take things out all day long.

His new pastime: Climbing the Stairs

Cody learned to climb the stairs on his 1st Birthday! Since then he has mastered going up the stairs. He loves it! He gets so excited especially when he realizes you are behind him. Then he thinks your chasing him and about to "get him". If Jason and I are both home one of us will go to the top and one of us stays behind Cody and that becomes a fun game. At the top of the stairs he squeals with excitement. We are teaching him how to go down but still have awhile until he's ready.

Bluebonnets

This little boy melts our hearts everyday!

Future Camper

Jason was packing up for a camping trip and Cody was helping! He was so excited to be playing in his daddy's camping gear and loved exploring all his stuff! We have a family vacation to Estes Park in a few weeks and staying in a Condo. However, we are planning Cody's first tent camping experience for summer 2011!

Liking the Attention

Sarah, Chris and Andrew come over last night and played with Cody! Andrew and Chris left very early this morning with Jason on a trip with the senior guys so they stayed the night with us. Cody totally showed off for them and loved all the attention that they gave him! Sarah is our regular babysitter and Cody loves her. However, last night he couldn't keep his eyes off the guys!

Chris and Andrew played with Cody for a long time on the floor. They would put a toy on his head and Cody would try to put toys on their head in return. He was totally into them and showing off. All of us even watched a cartoon together before we put Cody to bed to relax him....he got wound up when they arrived.

We are blessed that our students love Cody so much! He definately loves being around them!
