Happy 6th Birthday Cody!

Today my youngest child turns 6 and I'm not ready. No matter how hard I try, I can't get him to stop growing! I love both of my kids so much that unless you're a mom, I don't think you understand that love. Cody though, he's something else! He's always been different, since I found out I was pregnant with him. He was born 6 years ago today at 5:20 am (I actually woke up at this time this morning!). I had fallen the day before almost 20 hours before he was born so he came out blue from swallowing meconium. Nicu was there when he came out and worked on him for an hour before I even got to hold him. Talk about your worse nightmare coming true. Luckily after working on him for an hour, they decided they'd watch him carefully the next few days and never did take him there.

Looking at Cody today, you would never guess he had a rocky beginning! This boy is full of energy and always amazes me with what he does. So far we've had 1 broken nose and only one concussion! I count myself lucky with watching what he does! Cody is constantly on the move and talking. I have learned to deal with that after 6 years but it does drive some people crazy (Scott!). I'll pick Cody up from a sitter and the first thing they say to me is that he never stopped moving and never stopped talking! My sister has named him Radio Cody after riding in a car to North Carolin with him and we all think it fits! While Cody is all boy, there is part of him that is still so sweet and sensitive. He still loves to cuddle with us, loves babies, loves to sit and read for a bit and is also aware of others feelings! I love that he is a good combination of wild but sensitive!

Below are a few of Cody's favorite things:

Favorite Colors: Green and Yellow
Favorite Food: chicken
Favorite Snack: cheese and crackers
Grade in School (2009-2010 school year): 1st Grade
Favorite Subject: Recess(I don't think that's a subject but it's so not worth arguing with a 6 year old!)
Favorite Disney Character: Minnie Mouse
Favorite Thing To Do: Play Star Wars
Favorite Restaurant: McDonalds
What he wants to be when he grows up: Changes by the day but today it's a Fire fighter


We'll post the slide show later! I've been a little busy with school ending and other things so I let that go a little. It's almost ready! Leave any comments annd I'll put them in his book!!!
