Home Sweet Home

Our trip to Mass was awesome except for the weather and the fact that I came home with a sinus infection. I did realize we really need more than 4 full days in order to see everyone more than once, especially with the little man. No one really wants to see me anymore, just my amazing little boy. He was so good on our trip. Both flights he was only a little crabby (which is to expected) and went with the flow while I dragged him from house to house to see everyone. I'm pretty sure he had a great time. Every house had new toys to play with and new people and kids to play with him. It was like he hit the jackpot. It was a really nice long weekend.

Over the next couple of weeks you will see a bunch of pictures my neice Hannah took (top & left). I had forgotten that she was in photography school. Man, this girl has a talent. She took over 200 pictures of Cody. I have only see around 20 of them, but am eagerly awaiting the rest. So far there are some really amazing and beautiful shots.

My next task is planning Cody's first birthday party. I have ordered the invites, thank you cards, banner etc... and figured out the menu. Just have to order the cake, get the paper goods and decide on the favors. I want his 1st birthday to be so special but don't want to go overboard. He's too young for a bounce house or anything like that and there are only a few kids coming so that would be a waste of money. Next year will be when the real fun will start....

11 Months ~ Off to Mass we go.....

We never did get to the beach, but we did get Cody his very own 6 activity baby pool that he absolutely loves. Hopefully we will get to the beach soon, because I love the beach and hopefully Cody will to. I always dreamed of having a beach baby. Overall It was a nice couple of weekends spent with the family.....

Cody now has 4 words in his vocabulary...... Mama, Uh oh, Dada and Nana. He started saying dada last week, craig couldn't be happier and nana came out of nowhere. We have been working on grammy or grandma, but it may be nana, only time will tell. I think we are on the brink of dog. I was trying puppy, but realized that may be too hard, so dog it may be.

This past weekend we went to the Delray Affair, which is a big arts and crafts festival in Delray Beach. Cody just loves anything with crowds and people to see. He's definetly a people watcher.

We also bought him his first walking toy. Sunday morning I looked up and saw him walking an empty diaper box across the floor. This signaled it was time. I've wanted to get him one for some time but didn't know if he was ready. Well he sure is. He loves this thing. Back and forth he goes, he's so dang cute.

We leave for our 3rd Mass trip on Thursday. We are very excited. The weather doesn't look to be favorable but we will deal with it. We have lots of plans to see family and friends. I can't wait to show off my little man.....
