Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve started with Jon reading Cody the story of Jesus birth.

Followed by some pictures with Mom and Dad......

Then it was off to Grandpa Floyd's and then to Mama and Papas to spend time with family.  Notice how presents got opened this year....... all the kids helped!  Cody had a fever most of the day (as seen with the rosy cheeks) but nothing could ruin this child's Christmas spirit!  

I Am Walking

Over the past week, Cody has really started walking.  He has gone from being able to take 5-6 steps to walking halfway across a room before falling.  Most of the time, he walks without even prompted to do so either.  Watch out world, Cody is really on the move.  Mommy and Daddy are about to have their hands really full.

Breakfast with Santa

Cody got to meet Santa Claus at Old Hickory Golf Club yesterday during a Breakfast With Santa.  He did better than we expected- he didn't give his usual "deer in headlights" look when we is in a new setting and he even smiled a little.  When Santa tried to give him a candy cane, he looked at him and froze.  Cody even made a new friend too- he is always flirting with the ladies!

My First Haircut

After a year of letting Cody's hair grow and the curls taking over, we finally got his hair cut.  One boy at daycare said "Cody has wings."  This was a picture right before he got his hair cut.

Here are a few shots during his haircut.  He did really well and didn't cry at all.  We had to get creative a little to get him to sit still, but overall it was a success.

And this is Cody showing off his new hairdo.  It is amazing how old he looks after getting rid of those curls.  My little boy is becoming a toddler quickly!

First Birthday Photo Session

Cody enjoyed his one year picture session, especially the end where he got to enjoy a Thanksgiving cookie made by Grandma.  He didn't want to sit still for the photos which made the session a little challenging.  All in all, we got some great shots to capture my growing boy!

Learning to Walk

For a while now, Cody has been able to push his shopping cart across the house.  It has really helped him learn to walk.

Wrestle With Reindeer

Cody loves to wrestle with his stuffed reindeer.  He body slams the reindeer and bites him.  It makes me laugh every time he does it.  My boy is a brute!

Christmas Is In the Air

Just thought I would share a few pictures of Cody and his cousins on the bench by the Christmas tree at Grandma's house.  I love this time of year!

Happy Thanksgiving

The Brown Family had a lot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving.  Cody turned 1 and we got to spend some great time with both sides of the family.  We are truly blessed in so many ways!

Happy Birthday Cody

Our little boy is one year old today.  It is Thanksgiving Day and Jon and I could not be more thankful today for the blessing that is Cody Paul Brown.  He brightens each and every day for us and we are so thankful to Christ Jesus for giving us Cody.  Here is a look at the past year and how Cody has grown in size and in spirits.
