Cody Favorites

I love that Cody likes to use a blanket and "snuggle". He was teething a lot on this particular day and wasn't feeling great so he actually slowed down a bit and got spoiled by extra videos and cartoons. He really likes these big legos and is really good at stacking them. Daddy likes them too! Kitchen items keep him entertained...the louder they are the better! I left this cucumber too close to the high chair and he found it....and chewed on it. Anything he can climb on top of or get inside is always a fun game! Breakfast...notice the food stacked on the cup. He loves smoothies and every morning the first thing he does is ask me to make a smoothie by going to the cabinet where the blender is kept and saying "ease" and signing "please". Love that sweet smile! Any drink/cup is a big treat! Practicing for Christmas! This plywood is how we block our stairs because we didn't want to mess up our banister. I wrapped it so we/Cody wouldn't get splinters. Guess who figured out how to tear off the paper? Not too much longer and we won't need to block the stairs! I love this profile picture of Cody because we have a sonogram picture that shows his profile very distinctly and so its always fun when we can capture it!

Cody's New Slide

We bought this little slide for our backyard and Cody loves it! Now he goes from his sandbox to his slide and is always asking to go outside. He was so cute watching us put it together....like he knew it was just for him! Playing with the finished product outside!

Yummy!

Spaghetti dinner and mini ice cream cone for dessert = one messy and happy boy!

Life is Better in the Mountains - 6

We spent a day taking little hikes around a couple different lakes. The weather was beautiful and the view was amazing! We had a great day being outside! I love Cody pointing at something.... Cody could spot a chipmunk and start pointing before any of us would see it.

A hug from my son!

Welcome to Rocky Mountain National Park...one of our favorite places!

The beauty is endless!

Life is Better in the Mountains - 4

Cody really enjoyed riding in this backpack! I am so glad we found it on craigs list and lugged it to Colorado with us! It definately made the visitor centers more enjoyable! The Moose is my favorite mountain animal! So, I couldn't resist getting a family picture in front of this huge moose in one of the shops!

Cody loves to point and there is definately a lot to point at in Estes Park!

It started raining on afternoon while we were wandering around town so we took cover inside a little snack shop while we waited for the rain to pass.

The view is always better from Grandpa's shoulders.

Enjoying the river....Cody either wanted to be in the river or set free to climb the rocks...so his freedom didn't last too long.

Afternoon stroll by the river side of the main shopping strand.
