One Month Old!

I can't believe it's been a month already since Cody came into our lives! While the last month has been filled with plenty of sleepless nights, we are SO happy to have him as a part of our family. We can't decide if Cody looks like he's smiling in this picture or if he looks constipated. Oh well, at least we got a picture with his eyes open!

Cody really has been such a good baby so far. He enjoys playing with his brother Connor, as long as he's not poking him or hitting him...more about that later, he enjoys snuggling with mom and dad, spitting up, pooping, sleeping, smiling, and staring at the ceiling; what more do babies do at this age, right? We haven't weighed him lately, but he seems to be filling out really fast. I sure hope he gets all rolley polley like Connor did. I just love fat babies!


Ok, we're not sure where Connor learned this from, but as soon as we brought Cody home from the hospital he would come out of nowhere and smack Cody on the head. He didn't seem like he was angry or jealous at all, he just thought it would be fun to hit him. It got really out of hand a couple of weeks ago, so Jake and I decided to try "timeout" for the first time. It breaks my heart that I possibly have a child that is old enough to be in timeout, but desperate times call for desperate measures. I was amazed! After putting Connor in timeout twice, he hasn't hit Cody in over a week! What a quick learner!!! He even comes up to Cody now and says, "No hit Cody...timeout" and "be nice Connor". It's adorable. I even caught him taking two of his toys and hitting them together the other day. He then said, "No, hit! Timeout!" and proceeded to put them in timeout! I loved it!

I can't believe how big Cody is getting. We need to see him again. Your kids are adorable.

Ok...so just wait until Cody is able to move around and get into all of Connors things....that's when it gets exciting!:) Logan would push Nathan over. Any time he saw Nathan coming he would run up to him and push him over. Now...guess what problem Nathan is having in Nursery? We have talked to him about it and now every Sunday he comes out of nursery telling us how many kids he's pushed!! Fun times!! However...they are really starting to be good buddies and finally love playing...together! Boys are so much fun!

I don't know if you will remember us. Stephen and I were with you in the Nursery way back in the Sherbrooke ward in ID!

I found this blog address in an old file and tried it to see if it was still valid. Guess what, it was.

What a treat to see how you are doing and how the family is growing! What a beautiful family you make.

Lots of love,
Evelyn & Stephen Day

p.s I'd send a pic to remind you, but I don't know how here!
