Cody is such a joy to our family. He has this cute smile that just melts your heart and is such a great little snuggle bug when he wants to be. Lately his vocabulary is more advanced as well as his thought process and it all comes out, without a filter. He is also still such a sponge and repeats or copies his siblings. Here are some of the things he has done or said lately:

• He is obsessed with his hand puppet alligator. He takes it in the bath, pool, bed and in the car. 
• Says "ti red" when he gets tired. 
• had become a pretty picky eater. For some time he loved broccoli, but his palate is becoming more selective
• says "so rude" or "don't touch me" or "get your hands off of me" when he doesn't like something
• loves to destroy all Paiges room and Legos
• last week he colored the carpet with my MAC lipstick($20 a tube x2), drew with mascara all over the bed sheets and blankets, and squirted my eye cream all over the place. 
• loves to sit and be read to. " will you read wis me"
• refers to himself in third person as creature. for example one morning he came in and said, "creature's hungry"
• love to see pumpkins and "spooky ghosts" or spooky things with Halloween coming up.
• He escapes the house frequently- like over to Daryl and JoDee's house or in the garden, or around the back of the house... 
• Will say...super cat speed, or ancient speed of the tiger, as said on cartoons

He is just the sweetest, aside from his complete disregard for listening to directions, and we sure love him. I cant believe he will be 3 in alittle over a month. Time is just going way too fast.
