I have a boy

When did that happen?  I mean, I KNOW i had a boy, but he is so big now.  His language is exploding, and man can he COMMUNICATE.  Generally along the lines of "Mommy, I need something."  I try to make him get it himself, but sometimes I forget that he so big and can get it himself.

 

He went on his first carousel ride this weekend.  He choose the dragon!  Roar!

 

 

Today was the first time he played by himself with his blocks.  He likes to have Rich build things and then Cody will destroy them.  Tonight, the boys built a tower, and then Cody would knock it down.  After awhile, Rich and I ended up on the couch and Cody continued to build the tower and knock it over.  It was awesome.

 

Then Rich showed him how to push a rolling boat off the coffee table to knock the tower down.  That happened several hundred times more after the demonstration.

 

I love the way Cody has started singing to himself.  Currently, he sings monkeys jumping on the bed or Bob the Builder.  It is SOO SOO funny.  His little voice pipping up from the backseat or his bed room.  I hope that never goes away.

 

It is clean up time.  Cody is actually doing it by himself.  I have to go give him a bath.  All the blocks have been picked up and not by me!!!

Welcome to the World

Tyler David Weiss was born this morning at 12:25 am, 7 llbs 3 oz to my best friend in the entire world.  Jessie.

 

Yay!

 

 

 

 

This is what we did yesterday

While I thought we were going to either drown or grow gills, we did a little puddle jumping.

 

And a close up of what he was wearing.

 

 

Yes, no shirt.  He told me he didn't need one.  At least he was wearing a jacket.  And rain boots.

Christmas videos coming soon

I promise.  I'm uploading them to my computer right now.  But it is bedtime.  Either that or time to watch Transformers.  Depends on how you ask. 

Funny story that I am so going to share with his girlfriend.  Sunday, we, Cody and I, went to Macy's.  I was looking for some bras.  Fortunately, we entered the store on the correct side.  While I was looking around, Cody was touching everything and crawling under the racks.  I was hissing at him to stop touching things, he didn't need a bra.  He looked at me and said, "yes I do."  I told him "no, you don't have boobies, only mommies have boobies."  He looked me in the eyes, lifted his shirt up and said "yes I do," while pointing to his nipples. 

 

I just about died laughing.  The other lady in hearing distance almost did too.

 

And if you ask him, he will tell you he has bigger boobies and he needs a bra. 

 

That is why I had a little boy.

Merry Christmas

I don't know how to rotate, so turn your head sideways.

 

Merry Christmas!! 

Potty update!

Cody pooped in the potty on his own last night!!  No fighting sitting on the toilet.  He told me he needed to pee as he was getting in the tub.  He stepped up on his stool and then told me he needed to poop.  He sat down on his seat without arguing.  I asked him if he was pooping.  He said no.  When he got up there was poop!  I was soo excited.

 

In other news, Rich has gout in his foot.  That is a new one for us.  He's on crutches right now until it goes away.

 

 

Updates

We have been very busy lately and at the same time not so much.  Last week we went to Portland to see Grandma for Thanksgiving.  Cody was super excited to see Brandon again.  Brandon was awesome with Cody, he didn't mind hanging out with Cody and playing with him.  I wish we lived closer to any of our other family with kids, it would be so nice to see Cody play with his cousins.

Cody did amazing on the airplane.  He didn't through a fit in either direction.  On the last leg home, after we landed, he asked if we could go on another airplane to Brandon's house.  I told him later.  Fortunately he hasn't asked again, 'cause I don't know how I am going to explain that one.

 

This week, Cody has been telling us that he has a brown baby in his belly.  He went up to one of his teachers, who is pregnang, and started rubbing her belly and told her he has a baby in his belly.  He tells me in the morning that his baby is hungry.  This morning, Miss Tanya, the owner of his school, asked me who was pregnant in our family.  I told her no one, it was because Miss Angela is pregnant.  He even told me I had a baby in my belly.  I can't help but think of Alex when Lucy was born, telling everyone he was going to go have his baby. 

 

Cody still refuses to go to sleep by himself.  We are trying the reward chart, but, again, no go.  He doesn't care.  We told him he needs 5 stickers to get his helicopter.  One sticker per night he sleeps by himself.  And STILL no go.  He wants me to sit next to him or sit in the chair in his room.  I think I am going to start taking his toys away, one for every night I have to stay in his room or he comes into ours.  Maybe if I start with the helicoptors or his movies, he might get it quickly.  He has alot of toys anyway.

Tomorrow is Cody's party.  All his buddies are coming.  And we are going to videotape them.  This should be intersting.
