Anyways, here are some of the things my lovely Cody is doing.
Cody seemed to show less walking instinct than his brother. However, since he started crawling, he began to figure out the whole 1 foot forward and the other foot forward thing. :) and is now quite happily cruising anywhere he can hold on to.
Doing his daily cruise laps around our coffee table
He is an expert in his walker now and has direction control. When he sees me at the end of a hall way, he almost runs in it and looks like he's flying!! ha!
When he's not in his walker, he crawls anywhere he wants to go and pulls himself up and cruise around if he wants to. But then, because he hasn't learned how to sit down or bend over, once he's up, he's stuck! Every now and then when he's dropped something on the floor, he looks down all forlornly and has this look that says "Now, why in the world did i have to go do that for?"
Help??
And if he's not too excited, he can actually stand on his own without holding on to anything for about 10 - 15 seconds. Next step.. taking steps on his own.
Standing!!
And to help him with his walking, Daddy has taped up a box for him to practice walking. He's initially freaked out when it moves but soon realize that he can push it around and walk, so he's slowly coming around the idea. He probably thinks "I can crawl faster, why do i have to use this stupid box!!"

And if you were a close friend of ours, the question you'd be asking is, "How is his eating?"
He's eating alright. Could be better but hey, it could be worse!!! Apart from the few weeks that he had a cold, he pretty much eats without too much hassle. You should have seen the fear on my face when he pushed food away and pursed his lips. But my maid and I are hoping that phase is over. He's currenly on cereal, veg, fruits, rice, meat and yogurt and hovering around 18.5 lbs.
He drinks water/milk during his meal times
But he is a VERY messy eater. Look at him!! Yikes!! He likes to grab the food and get it all over his clothes and face and everything. So, now when he eats, we take off his shirt!!!

To help with eating, he's been giving biscuits and little snack melts. Just to help him use his little fingers. He loved biscuits the first few times, now, he's eehhh about it..
The concentration!!!
He is a complete Mama's boy that can't stand being away from me(if i'm around). He's saying "mammmaa.." whenever he gets a little desperate for me. He loves giving me really sloppy kisses and responds when somebody says "Clap clap" by clapping his hands gleefully!
Apart from me, he's usually quite comfortable with Rose(our helper) and Daddy. He's also starting to want to play with Tyler. I often find them smiling and giggling at each other when they wake up from their naps together. And if he wakes up, he will usually try to crawl to Tyler and wake him up!!
He rides on Daddy's shoulders
He puts on a what i call "serious face" most of them time unless he's playing or taking a bath. Then he usually shrieks in excitement and smiles!

Enjoys the park
One of my personal failure is still getting him to sleep on his own in his own crib despite recent big effort! But i have a few excuses:
a) he CAN'T sit down once he stands up, so i always have to go in and help him lie down which starts the crying all over again!
b) i was also sleep training Tyler
c) he had a cold
Anyways, he doesn't know it yet, but once he's cracked the sitting down thing, he'll be on sleep training again!
