Game On!

I sent my Mom a photo of Cody about a month ago and got in trouble because he looked too grown up. So, I decided to take a few shots of him looking like a sweet little 7 1/2 month old baby!
I got this cute one and then it all changed.



My Cody Boy is on the move!!!! He is crawling everywhere!

Getting in to things. Crawling up the stairs. Pulling himself up to a standing position.

As you can tell, he will most likely be a sprinter like his dad. He really would like to skip this whole crawling thing and get running. He reminds me of Aubrey. Walking at 9 1/2 months and running at 10 months. Sorry Mom, he's not that little baby anymore! Let the games begin!!

Do you see what I see?

Spring!?!
So we can spend less time indoors....

Bundled up to keep warm

And more time doing this!!

And taking pictures like this..

and playing in the backyard

Come on Spring... we are more than ready for you!

From My Perspective

People often wonder what it's like to be the only boy with 4 sisters. Well, here's my perspective.

I get my own room with all of the animal hangings! Hailey wasn't real happy to give up her pink room for me though.




I have just recently discovered the coolest thing.... toes! They are awesome and always within arms reach!

I am perfecting my army crawl. When my sisters aren't looking I snag their purses and Barbies and slobber all over them. I am actually just practicing my stalking moves, so when I go hunting with Dad I'll be a pro!

I am well loved! OK sometimes it might be borderline mauling, but I love it!

I am a babe magnet! The women at church just adore me in my little sweater. I guess you can say I take after my dad!

I haven't been dressed up too many times yet. Unfortunately, sometimes when all of my manly bibs are dirty Mom grabs one of these girly things!

My sisters talk, sing, and dance a lot! It is usually pretty entertaining until they pull me into it!

I have my Mom wrapped around my little finger. I just have to flash one of my smiles and....... bam I get what I want!! I guess you can say the first 6 months of my life have been awesome!
