When we were at the dr's office,  Decker was concerned about the shots.  He kept telling the Dr and the nurse that he wasn't getting a shot.  Then he would say that Cody's not getting a shot either.  The Dr was very matter of fact and said he might get one or two.  Anyways, Cody got two immunizations and cried.  Decker doesn't like to see Cody crying.

Cody is such a fun loving guy.  He is very playful.  If Decker is playing with his trains or cars, Cody likes to sneak up and take one of his cars and then runs.  He so wants Decker to chase him.

He takes 2 naps still.  He still doesn't sleep soundly through the night.  I will hear him wake up and cry out 1 or 2 times each night.  He will usually go back to sleep on his own, but there are some times that I'll go in there and rock him for a bit.  I do enjoy these quiet moments when he just lays on my shoulder and relaxes. 

He is starting to be pickier with his eating.  Some of his favorites are peanut butter and jelly sandwiches,  macaroni and cheese and hotdogs.  When he's done eating, he likes to throw whatever is left onto the floor.  So we have to beat him to it and take the tray before he does that...he likes a very clean tray. :)
He has learned to fold his arms when we pray too.  We just saw him do it one night on his own.  So sweet!

When Cody gets into our bathroom, he always goes to open the cupboard.  We have a cup full of safety covered razors.  He always will grab one and then start rubbing it on his face...just like daddy.  ;)
In my office, whenever he hears the printer going off, he runs to grab the paper off of it to give it to me.

Cody is in a biting phase.  He is so loving with Decker and will give him big hugs and I think he gets so excited that he bites him.  He has done this to me too.  When we get after him, he gives more hugs and makes sweet "ohhhh" sounds, like he's saying he's sorry.  He's got 4 molars and 8 front teeth.

He loves to wear hats.  He loves this cowboy hat and will walk around with it on.  He just melts me with his smiles.  Sometimes I feel like there is an unspoken joke between us that only he and I are in on.  We just make each other smile.

His vocabulary includes
ball-"ba:
balloon-"bvee"-kind of a vibrating sound
uh oh
choo choo-train
shoes -"shiz:
signs "Please"
Hi- with a big round mouth very long.
bye bye

Cody is a climber and not a very cautious one.  He's had more bumps and bruises than I can count.
He loves his blanket and is very possessive of it.  --I wonder who he got that from???  :)  When he sleeps with it, he likes to cover his head with it.  He will roll it up into a big ball and lay on it like a pillow when we're holding him.  He really likes it up to his face.
