Cody's First Birthday!

Cody turned ONE on Tuesday!! I can't believe it's already been a year! The time is just going too fast! It's been an amazing year. Probably the most wonderful and most trying of my life. Cody has brought so much joy in our lives! I can't imagine life without him. In fact, even though Steven and I had five years together without him, it's hard to remember what that was like.

Well, Cody has already hit so many milestones before he ever turned one. He eats solid food, drinks cow's milk, says "dada, mama, dah (that), Jesus, and ya", can ALMOST dribble a ball, can throw balls (and other things), sleeps through the night, goes down slides by himself, can walk really well, comes up with his own dance moves, can even go up and down the stairs all by himself, and so much more. He is an amazing little boy, and we sure do love him!

His birthday was a lot of work, and a lot of fun. I've imagined what my kid's first birthday's would be like for years, and I was very pleased with how it turned out. We had Great G'pa, both sets of grandparents, uncles & aunts, cousins, and even some friends there to celebrate with us. We had dinner, a basketball pinata, pin the soccer player on the soccer ball, cake (including Cody's very own soccer ball cake), and presents. Cody got so many great things. Thank you so much to everyone who came and helped make Cody's birthday a truly memorable one (for his parents at least). I really think Cody had a lot of fun! Needless to say, I was absolutely exhausted by the end of the night. Happy Birthday Cody boy!
