Well, Cody's 9 and 10 month Birthday's have passed. It's so hard to believe! As much as I thought he wouldn't, he proved me wrong and did start crawling about a week after I posted on here that I didn't think he would do anything but army crawl until walking (somewhere around June 20)! Cody's good at proving me wrong :)
I slacked (which I am so upset with myself) and didn't get in to get his 9 month pictures. The will officially be taken when he is 10.5 - almost 11 months old. Ugh, I can't blame anyone but myself!
Codster is getting big! He is not a huge fan on any kind of puree anymore. Which, I'm not really surprised. Once he had a taste of our food, I can't blame him for wanting puree's!!
There's not too much to say right now...But I do want to say this to my sweet baby boy:
Dear Cody,
You, my dear boy, are growing too fast! I love that I am able to stay home with you everyday. I can't imagine having to go to work. We are so blessed that we are able to do that for you (and for me :)) I adore watching you play everyday...in your swimming pool, in your swing, destroying anything that you can get your hands on! ;) As you quickly approach your first birthday, I keep telling daddy that I will most likely cry. He doesn't understand...I guess it's a 'mommy thing'. I feel so blessed that God gave us you. You are so happy and cheerful...the sweetest baby I have ever known! We get asked all the time (seriously...grandma and grandpa can vouch for this) if you are always so happy! I am always pleased to tell anyone who asks that you are! Cody, you have the best smile in the world. You can cheer anyone up with it! Thank you for being the little boy that you are. You are my everything. I love you, sweet baby boy! Happy 9 & 10 month birthdays!
Love you to the moon and back, a million times and more!
Mommy

time
I have been working on a few posts for the past couple of months...things that I want to say for Cody, and for myself. I continue to work on them, but the process is slow. I am so disappointed in myself for not keeping up with my blog better, because it is my journal for Cody and for my future children. But the truth is...I adore spending all of my day every day with Cody. And getting on the internet for anything (email, facebook, blog) is just not high on my priority list. I wish it were. I know that I have missed putting a few things in Cody's baby book and on here, but I know the really important things I will always remember - no matter if I have a date written down or not.
Right now Cody is over at his grandma & grandpa's house with daddy. As I sit here typing this, I can't help but think how unfair it is how fast time goes by. God's greatest gift to me is my child (and future children, and it makes me so sad to think that they are only small for a little while. In less than two months, my baby boy will be the big ONE. Yep, already!
I keep thinking back over the past 10 months, and I feel like I didn't have enough time each month. The first month was a huge life changing event, and it took some time to get adjusted. Then the next couple of months passed and we got to know and trust each other (as mother and son). Then, I felt like I just couldn't wait for his next big milestone to happen. Rolling over from back to tummy, finding his feet, sitting up, eating more than breastmilk, talking, crawling, lifting up...all of those things I couldn't wait for. Now that they have all happened, I wonder why...why couldn't I wait?? Why was I in such a hurry to have my baby grow? (I know all you mom's out there know what I mean!!) While I have greatly enjoyed seeing Cody learn new things every single day, and love the look of accomplishment he has when he does something new, I feel like I have missed something. I wish I would have taken more pictures, although if you were to see how many pictures were on my computer, you would tell me I was being stupid!
It is such a bittersweet time in my life right now. I am so excited to see Cody grow, but I also miss those sweet moments of 'us time' at night, just him and me in his nursery at 2 a.m. nursing him and rocking him back to sleep. Those are times I will keep in my heart and cherish forever. Times that I can't get back, but they are snapshots in my mind.
I Love you, Cody Douglas. To the moon and back. More than you will ever know!
