i'm so glad when daddy comes home

ryan has been gone for a whole month to do a bunch of residency interviews and a rotation in latrobe, pa.  we've missed him like crazy around here.  we're just grateful for skype letting us see and talk to him every day.  we like texting pictures now and then to keep daddy updated on what we're up to, so i thought i'd post the random assortment we sent this month.

ready for church.  

we needed a good updated sunday shot for ryan to show off and to show that cody's still the best dressed kid at church every sunday :)

helping fold the clothes by putting on his jammies on all by himself.

trying on mom's headbands - also put on by himself.

helping clean up the kitchen.

ready for the ward halloween party

taking down the dirty laundry

a noisy walk at the park

reading books while mom gets ready for the day

first oreo.  

he immediately took it apart and dipped it in the milk without me even showing him.

when having crackers with snack, its best to take just one bite of each to start off.

snuggling and reading books in mom's bed to start off our mornings

the beginning of the backpack obsession.  he insists on wearing it everywhere.

reading 'bunny' in his 'boat'

both words he uses often now

rocking the sweater vest last sunday

cody carries his buckets, baskets and crates all over and does all kinds of silly things with them like this.

trying on shoes.  only 3 sizes too big instead of 15 or 20 sizes.

all the things he insisted on bringing to the store with us.  he had on his hat and was holding the marvin slipper and then ran back inside to get his backpack.  luckily i convinced him to leave all of it in the car when we actually went into the store.
