We sure love our usual Tuesday night playdates with Nolen and Ella Tate. Last Tuesday night we went to Target to look around at spring clothes and shoes. We had a great time. Plus the children looked so cute in these flower hats!

Beautiful little Ella Tate
Hope you all have a wonderful St. Patrick's day full of green! Also Happy 1st St. Patty's day to our little man Ford! Good thing he looks cute in green:)
Last Thursday night we attended the annual Inner City catfish dinner at the fair grounds. It was Ford's first one. Gabe and I have attended for 4 years now. We always look forward to this special night! The food is delicious, and it is great to see friends from other churches who are there too! Ford's favorite thing at the dinner was the iced tea! He for some reason found my cup of tea very interesting so I gave him a taste, and then he would whine for it until I gave him more! All in all it was a wondreful night, and they raised $141,000 for their wonderful ministry!

Gabe took a day off last week. We spent most of the day at home and had a wonderful day. We ate lunch together at Mellow Mushroom in downtown Franklin. Then we went to Curious Gourmet across the street, and I got a cupcake. It was delicious! Ford had a fun time looking at all the shops on Main Street. We played the rest of the afternoon at home, and later that night went to the Alsup's house! What a fun day we had with Daddy!
happy boy!
i love my little buddy

Last Saturday we went to Grayson Wilson's very 1st birthday! It was a blast. Hannah, Joey, and Hannah's mother and brother did a wonderful job with the party. Grayson had his own cupcake. I think he really enjoyed it. He also racked up on gifts! Ford also tried a bit of cupcake and boy did he love it! We had a wonderful time at the party. Thank you to the Wilson's for inviting us to this very special party! Happy 1 year Birthday Grayson!

...I can't wait for my first birthday...yummy!
Ford and i went to publix last week. He got to try out his new shopping cart cover that we ordered from Laura Alsup's cousin! She makes beautiful covers for grocery carts and highchairs! Her blog is http://beccabebecreations.blogspot.com/ Check it out ya'll!
$92 of groceries for $70!!...yay...it feels great to save some cash:)
Ford absolutely loves bath time! I don't think he has ever been one to cry while he is being bathed, even from early on. He especially loves playing with his bath toys these days. He out grew his baby bath a long time ago, and he takes baths in our garden tub in our master bath. He loves hitting his hands down in the water! He also tries to suck the water out of the wash cloth when we wash his face...yuck! 
Ford tried winter squash for the first time a few weeks ago. Needless to say, he did not much care for it. He definitely shows you what he thinks of it by his faces. It also gave him the shivers. I think eventually he liked it....well maybe. Here are the pics. 
Obviously February did not have 30 days, so we will say today is Ford's 7 month b-day! He is still growing like a weed. It seems like he learns something new each day. He finally has gotten 1 tooth (the bottom right front one) and fixing to cut another one. He had been so fussy for a week or so, and it finally made sense when that tooth broke through last Friday 2/27. Ford is also learning to eat more solids these days. He is supposed to be on rice cereal 2 x day and veggies/ fruits 2-3 x day. We are trying to get this much in, but to be honest, he likes just having milk and would probably do without the solids! He does love fruit though. He also enjoys biter biscuits! As far as sleep goes....he still wakes up 1-2 times a night:( We are working on getting him to sleep through the night...so stayed tuned! He is a great napper though. If we are at home he will take 2 naps that are 1 1/2-2 hours. That is a great time for me to get things done around the house or nap with him which seems impossible these days! But he truly is such a happy baby. We are so blessed! Here are his 7 month pics and stats.
