Fun With Boxes

They always say that it is the simple things (i.e. paper, boxes, paper towel rolls, etc) that entertain kids the most and Cody is no exception.   

..... And I Can Stand Up On My Own Too

After less than a week of crawling, we witnessed Cody using his play table to stand up by himself.  This is not surprising since he loves being up on his feet and walking with the help of holding onto mommy and daddy's fingers.  The road to walking has begun....... and a few bruises in Cody's future I think.  

I Can Crawl



After 9 months, Cody is officially on the move now.  He is still trying to figure out this crawling thing, as seen in the video, but he somehow gets where he wants to go.  We are so proud of our growing boy!



 

9 Months........ and Still Growing

I can't believe my baby boy is already 9 months old.  He now has 2 teeth, is almost crawling, and wants to constantly be up on his feet.  Mommy's little cuddly bear is almost on the move.

Here is a look back:

Uncle Tim's Wedding

Although I didn't get any pictures of Jon and I with Cody at the wedding (I know, what was I thinking), I did capture a few of him with his outfit on.  Cody was one of the ring bearers and was escorted down the aisle by his daddy.  We are so proud of Tim and Monica on their wedding!

Eating Big People Food

Over the last month or so, Cody has really broadened his diet to include numerous "big people" food.  He loves chunks of bananas, peas, blueberries, cheese, green beans, and whatever else we get near his mouth.  He isn't so good with picking up his own food, and I can't tell if he justs wants mommy to do it for him or he doesn't know how yet.  Like Jon always says about himself, "He is not exactly picky."

Happy Birthday Grandma

We surprised Jon's mom with a 60th Birthday party at our house.  Cody loved hanging out with everyone outside and hugging on Grandma.  I am sure he was saying "Happy Birthday Grandma" in his babble.

Bath Time

Cody has really taken a liking to bathtime now.  He loves to play with all his bath toys and put his hands under the running water.  Our newest lesson is no standing in the bath tub.

Happy Birthday Daddy and Paps

We had a great weekend celebrating Daddy and Grandpa Steve's birthday...... we went to dinner on Friday night in New Town and to a golf simulator in Chesterfield on Sunday.  Cody enjoyed the festivities and was very worn out at the end of the weekend.

More 7 Month Pictures

I know this was over a month ago, but we just got back all of our proofs and wanted to share some of our favorites from the photo shoot with Jill Shadden (In the Moment Photography) at Fort Zumwalt State Park in O'Fallon.  We had so much fun!
