Cody is 6!

Happy #6 Dude!  You are a spunky, silly, sweet, stubborn boy.  You love life and are so full of energy all the time!

Your favorites...

• Singing - you sing...all the time!  You are constant singing or humming songs - some that you've made up, others that you've learned at school (your current favorite made up song is "Drivin' through the city like a crocomole" (lol).
• Playing Legos - your "friends" birthday party was last week and you got at least 10 different Lego kits as gifts.  Every day this past week you have sat down to build Legos and have already built all but one kit one week later.  You do really well following the instructions and building the kits on your own. 
• Playing basketball - you would spend most of every recess at school playing basketball and got to do a basketball camp last week.  You are a great dribbler and are a pretty good shot too.
• You love dinosaurs, Hot Wheels, riding your bike and playing outside
• Your favorite foods are Daddy's smash burgers or Philly cheese steaks and gummy bears
• You weigh 37 pounds and are 43" tall
• You're busy with Ninja training, swimming lessons, T-ball, basketball camp, and soccer camp
• You can officially snap your fingers (and are so excited about it) and can almost whistle!
• You love rock music (especially the harder rock music...you say you love the loud guitar and drums the most) and whenever you hear rock music will start dancing, head banging
• You say some silly things such as "radic" = radical; "efic" = epic; "merote" = remote; "hostible" = hospital; "heart beeping" = heart beating; “cannonbunga” = cannonball; “riterarry” = literally 
• You love to make weird sound effects with your mouth
• You love to make people laugh, especially by doing or saying something silly - you love to pull pranks followed by saying "just kidding!"
• You are very sweet and can be very sensitive - if something makes you happy, you'll say that "it makes your heart happy"
• You're really good at counting (can count to 100+) and have some pretty good math skills already

For your birthday today you requested donuts for breakfast, a movie at the movie theater (it's your first time going to the movie theater in 2 years) where we watched "Peter Rabbit 2", lunch from McDonald's, Daddy's philly cheesesteak sandwiches have been requested for supper and birthday cake.  You got to have a friend's birthday celebration last week at Pump It Up with 14 friends! Tomorrow your sister is throwing you a surprise birthday party that she and Callie have called "Operation Donut" with a few of our close friends.  We'll wrap up your birthday celebration on Sunday with a surprise trip to Crossroads Village and Huckleberry Railroad where you'll get to ride on your first steam train (you're going to be so excited)!  What a way to celebrate turning 6!!

Happy birthday, Buster!  I hope #6 is the best year yet!

XoXoXo,
