Cody's first Easter!! He took the cutest pictures, I sent them to his grandmother Taylor. He started holding his own hands - and now loves looking in the mirror. He had a tough night, very fussy, unless I am holding him.

Cody had his Easter pictures taken today, infant acne, scratches and all, but I really want to document his growth. Today was also his first time in Orlando.

Cody had his first visit to a restaurant today - Applebees, with Sueann, Tyler, Austin and Riley. He checked everything out - ate a little bit, then went to sleep (which is what he is doing now.) He went to sleep a little earlier today at 11:30 instead of 12:30 so let's hope this means he is on his way to sleeping through the night. Unfortunately, I'm on his old schedule - it's 12:40 am and I am wide awake.

Today went much better, he must be feeling better. He's been up for 2 1/2 hours which I think is his longest stretch. Unfortunately, he is a night owl. I think he senses his daddy coming home so he wakes up. I am going to have to get him on a schedule soon.

It's been a tough night, Cody has been fussy tonight, but a warm bath calmed him down. He's now lying quietly in his bassinett staring at the ceiling. He has spent time with daddy, he's always calm with him during their bonding time. He's falling asleep so I should turn off the light.

Cody found his thumb today and looked so cute sucking it. I wish I could have gotten a picture, but he was sleeping on my chest. Right now he's making funny noises and sucking on his paci. He enjoyed his bath today - now I know why he would get so fidgety in my tummy when I took a bath - he was enjoying it!

Cody and I went to the mall today, everyone had to say how cute he was, which I agree of course! He's also now following my movements with his eyes. He's still a night owl; which I hope gets better before I go to work.

We had our first pee-pee incident today. Cody got himself in the face and head, so he had a bath (which he loved.) Other than that, today was uneventful for his 2 week birthday.

Cody had his weight check today and he's gained! He now weighs 8 pounds 6 1/2 ounces. Up from the 7 pounds 13 ounces last week, but now above his birth weight of 8 pounds 2 ounces. He peed on the table again at the doctor's office. I had to laugh. I don't think he likes going to the doctor. He also had his first trip to the mall, strangers kept telling me how cute he is. Well, he's getting ancy, I guess I should feed him now.

Kevin went back to work today and Cody seems to have noticed. He also found his hand today. He held it out and opened and closed it and was completely transfixed. He would move it and follow it with his eyes - maybe a coincidence - or not? We go to the dr. tomorrow so we'll have a weight update! Also, Cody loved his first bath today!

3/13/2002

Cody was very alert today - about 6 hours or so of very bright-eyed observing. We also went for our first walk with the stroller. He seemed to be taking everything in. Hopefully, we'll get to the this a lot until I have to go back to work - which I DO NOT want to do.

3/12/2005

Not a lot of news today, Cody's umbilical cord stump fell off, now we have to wait for it to completely dry out so we can give him his first bath! He's also lifting his head more!

3/11/2005

Cody is quietly laying in his bassinett. He's been very alert today and will mimic faces you make, it's too cute. He's also making new noises. Well he's starting to get fussy---

1 week old!

Cody is sleeping and I'm sitting in bed watching him. He didn't sleep well today so maybe he will tonigh. He is a week old today and I don't remember what our lives were like without him in it. We had visitor's today; Chad, Teresa and their 2 year old Heather. Well, he is stirring so I must tend to my little cutie!

My little man is sleeping quietly on daddy's chest. My parents left this morning and we've made it through our first day alone with Cody. The little guy has been very good and I got the longest stretch of sleep I've had since February.

And away we gooooo

We are home! Little man in tow...now the reality has hit!

I am #1

Wow...our first professional pictures!

An angel is born...

Cody Jacob was born at 7:43 pm, he is 8 pounds 2 oz and 20 inches long. He came fast after a whole 15 minutes of pushing!
