Cody Makes Us Laugh

Cody is always making us laugh with the things he says and does. Here are just a few recent things:

1. Cody likes to sing made-up songs to Kylee when she needs cheering up. This morning he sang "Kylee is my little sister. Kylee is my fat little sister." How did he know that 13 lb. at a 2 month check-up is almost off the charts?

2. The other day he was helping me switch the clothes from the washer to the dryer. He was handing me one item at a time. He kept saying, "Here's a clo. Here's a clo." I couldn't figure out what he was saying at first. Then he said, "Oh, mom, you dropped a clo," when I dropped a piece of clothing. I started laughing so hard when I realized that "clo" is the singular form of clothes.

3. Whenever Cody wants to know where an item (like a toy or something) belongs he asks, "where does it live?"

4. The other day Steve was helping Cody wash his hands and Cody didn't want the water to be too hot. He said, "Dad, hot water is for dishes and cold water is for boys."

We love this kid.

Cody had a Birthday!

Cody got a Lego boat that really floats and has a motor. It actually goes pretty fast too.

Arthur is so cool. Cody is already talking about his next birthday party. He asked if it could be a D.W. party.

Cody was so excited for his birthday and it made it fun for everyone.

Cody, Natalie, Rissie, Lauren, and Matthew at Wheeler Farm.

Cody and Matthew became great friends right off. They are only a few months apart in age. Here they are chucking crackers over the fence for the ducks. Matthew felt bad that they forgot to bring a present for Cody so he decided to give Cody two of his favorite cars that he brought to play with. Cody is now the proud owner of a used Mater and Lightning McQueen. They are definitely a favorite. I thought that was so cute of Matthew.

As of July 31st Cody is now 3! During the day we met two of my cousins and their kids at Wheeler Farm. It was a miracle that the three of us were in Utah at the same time and could get together. The kids had fun checking out the animals and feeding the ducks while the moms got caught up. That night we had an Arthur birthday party with Grandma and Grandpa Duncan, Bob and Sara, Brooke, and Aubrey. We played pin the bow tie on Arthur, opened presents, and ate cake and ice cream.
