Cody's first Pumpkin Patch.....

We visited out first pumkin patch this weekend
with Cody and our Moms. Unfortunetly there were no smiles to be had but at least we got some pictures. We are going to try again next weekend and hopefully the little man will cooperate a little more.

We also took Cody to his first festival. Oktoberfest is a festival at the Germain/American club that runs the middle 2 weekends in October. They have lots of beer and Germain fair with live music and a little ride park for the kids. Cody had a blast. We were dancing around and singing. If you have ever seen Beerfest you will understand. Next year Cody will be big enough to really enjoy the kiddie area.






This past week Cody found his feet. All he wants to do is grab them. He even pulls off his socks just to get to his piggies. It's so cute. He rolled over a few weeks ago, but since then not so much. He has his hands in his month at all times, which makes it difficult to roll. He gets his entire body over except his shoulders and head. You would think he was teething the way he continuesly drools and has his hands in his mouth, but he's not. It's any day now.....

As for me. We think I'm on the correct dosage for my thyroid issue. Ive lost 10 pounds in the last 5 weeks which makes me veryy happy. I'm really only going to the gym on the weekends. I was trying to go at least once during the week, but Cody usually gets cranky around 6:30-7 so i want to have at least an hour of happy time. I am going to try going after he goes to bed. Also I'm hoping it will cool off soon so I can walk at night a couple times a week. Only 11 lbs to go to hit pre-pregnany weight. Yippee

Cody ~ 5 Months

So far so good on the food. Cody loves all the fruits and likes the green beans, carrots and squash. It was a big NO on the peas and he's not so fond of the sweet potatoes. I think he may have had a little reaction to them. He got a slight rash and was cranky and gassy the day we gave them to him. I will try them again in a month or so.

Everyday with him is like an adventure wondering what new he will do today. Weekends go by way too fast. His new thing is screaching. I think he likes to hear his own voice and of course I think its adorable. He is also grabbing at everything. I can put him on the couch with his boppy around him, put a bunch of toys in front of him and he's good to go for a while.

Cody is growing at a records pace. Most of his 6 months cloths are getting snug and will need to be put away within the next few weeks. He is now in 9-12 months and even some of those are snug. Luckily his daycare cloths I bought 6-12 months and are still fairly loose. Its so hard for me. I love to shop and would buy him new stuff every week but I have to stop myself knowing he will grow out of everything within months and he has plenty of cloths(also thanks to my mom).

This past week I had to go away for training and it was pure hell. I missed Cody so much. 3 nights away from him was 3 too many. Thankfully when I came home he acted like he didn't even know I was gone, but I knew and felt guilty for leaving him. Man, I love this little boy more than words can say.....

19 Weeks

Cody rolled over for the first time tonight....It was so amazing and exciting. We have been working on tummy time for so time now and he was going from his side to his belly but never a full roll over. Craig and I were both here to experience it and WOW, we are so proud of him.

We started Cody on veggies this past week and he has done very good. No reactions so far. He wasn't so fond of the peas, but liked all the other veggies. Tomorrow is the last day of sweet potatoes then onto all the fruits. This is were the fun starts. So far he loves to eat. Everytime he sees the bottle or the bowl he gets all excited. He is definetly a happy chubby little boy.

Cody still isn't sleeping through the night. He wakes up every night between 3am-4:30. Luckily he goes right back down after his bubba, but a full un-interupted night of sleep would be nice. I still pretty much go to bed right after Cody. I am sound asleep by 9:30 every night. He's up between 6:30 ans 7am even on the weekends. I know eventually he will sleep longer, just don't know when.....
