What a week it has been. It really has been the birthday celebration week for Mr. Cody! Where did I leave off....
After opening the presents he received in the mail from Brian & Natasha and G'pa & G'ma Hart, Cody was allowed to open a few more gifts from us, since it was his actual birthday after all! I got him a Doodle Pad thing and he seemed to love that. Gordon got him this awesome tunnel & tent. When we went to Aden's birthday party last weekend, he had one at his house and Cody just loved it. Gordon knew we "had" to have one! Cody was quite pleased when he saw what it was and I think he had a BALL playing with it...what do you think?
The big day was over too soon and bathtime and bedtime was here. But, not to fret, more birthday celebrations were in store over the next two days!
The next day (Thursday), Cody and all his daycare friends celebrated the big 2! We brought the cupcakes that Cody & Gordon made and I was even able to attend the party as I got off work early. Boy, was he surprised to have me there!! They passed out cupcakes, made birthday crowns, sang happy birthday, and all the kids sat down and relatively still for about 3 minutes!! I am so thankful to have the wonderful childcare that we have. I know Cody loves it there and how I wish I could be at home with Cody, oh-so-many days, I know he is doing well there and just soaking up tons of social skills and learning.
(One of the funniest pictures, EVER! Doesn't he look completely thrilled?!!?)
(I love this one! His partner-in-crime, Anthony, is to his left, and baby Riley is in the back.)
On Friday, I had the day off of work and Cody decided to bless us by waking up at 5:15am. Joy!! We somehow got him back to bed and he slept in until 8:15! We got ready & had a quick breakfast and then headed to the doc-tor (thank you, 5 Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed!) for Cody's 2 year checkup. Everything went well, no shots, and just a finger prick & Sponge-Bob bandaid that he hated. (What a weird kid! :)) He's healthy & happy, but we knew that already! I think he is up to 28 some pounds and bumped up to the 50-75% percentile in weight...we know he is a good eater! He'd been at 10-25% forever so that was kind of surprising. Cody went to daycare for a few hours while I did some errands. Picked him up after lunch and took him home for a nap, and was he surprised to see Grandma & Grandpa Anderson here when he woke up! We all had a good time playing and he showed off like any toddler would.
That brings us to Saturday -- party day! Wahooo!!
I was slightly crazy when I invited three little boys around the age of 2, three babies from 4-6 months, and 13 adults to Cody's party. It was a crazy & chaotic time...and even though this big house suddenly seemed verrrrry small...it sure was a lot of fun. We ate some lunch, opened some presents, and had some cake. And then a lot of us had naps!!
Here's a few pictures from Cody's par-tay! I wish you could have all been here!! (Well, in theory, yes. In practicality, not so much.)
(Waving to our first party guests - The Andersons. All 6 of them! We missed ya, Casey!)
(Are ya comin' or what??)
More to come!!

I think I'd enjoy one of those tunnels! Looks like he's having a great time.
That was a cool gift that his Daddy picked out for him-you can sure tell that he just loved it!!
The picture at Daycare where he looks so sad, he was probably thinking "Hey, Carrie; I am two today so why only 1 candle on my cupcake?"
There IS actually two candles on the cupcake, the one is kind of hard to see! :)
