Cody

Meet Cody.

Is your heart melting yet?

Cody is my nephew that lives in Chicago.

He's absolutely stinking adorable.

He doesn't really stink.

He smells like puppy...and Louis Vuitton.

Cody loves this orange thing.

It's a cross between a dinosaur and a turtle.

We nicknamed it Dinoturtlesaurus Rex.

Cody was not impressed.

So we switched to a rawhide.

But chewing is exhausting.

Power nap.

This is my favorite pose - the "over the back of the couch so I can watch mom" position.

But guess what Cody, your mom left you home alone with your crazy Aunt Sara.

And her crazy camera.

After 2+ hours, Cody was getting a little fed up with the photo shoot.

Please stop!  Please can we just go outside?!

Yes we can Cody, but the camera comes too!

Why do you do this to me?

Please stop...this is so embarrassing.

We're out here in public, you crazy lady.  People can see us.

I'm not smiling, I'm not smiling, I'm not smiling.

Oh, a leaf!

Delicious!  And crunchy!

I'm still not smiling.

But being photogenic is exhausting.

Time for a nap with Uncle Ryan.

Find a good position.

Then STRETCH!

And YAWN!

Are you really still taking my picture, woman?

I'm tuning you out.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Sweet dreams, Cody...

...and Ryan...

... and Dinoturtlesaurus Rex.
