Happy morning:)

This morning Ford has been a happy boy. He has played in his room with his toys and loved playing with Izzi. She has been a happy puppy too! After playing so hard it will be time for a good nap!

Ford's busy life....He's crawling!!

Ford started crawling on April 14th! Now he is pretty good at it and getting all over the place! Here is a peek at his busy life!

Meeting some new friends!

Last week was full of fun. We started off by going to my friend Kristin's beautiful new home in Green Hills. We got to visit and get some lunch at Bread and Co. Later on, Hollis, Kristin's nephew came over to play with Ford. I think they had a good time! Thank you Kim for letting him come by! After that we went over to visit the Kirklands. I babysat Bonner and Hayden for several years. I grew to be so attached to them. They visited Ford when he was 3 weeks old but have not seen him since. So we went over to their house to visit and play. We also had to take them some bday gifts! Ford loved watching them play and run around!


what a cutie! sharing together...Ford loved Hollis's Easter eggs

Later in the week, Miss Molly came by to visit Ford. We also went to get lunch at Bread and Co that day too! We love that place, plus Ford loves the tomato basil soup, and they give him a free star sugar cookie! Yummy:) We had a wonderful visit with Molly!

Easter Sunday

Ford's 1st Easter was a blast! The Easter bunny hopped right over to our house and to both of his grandparents houses to leave him some fun surprises! However, he was much more interested in the Easter eggs and the basket itself than the neat gifts! Maybe next year we can have an egg hunt! After church we went to eat this Noni and Papa and Gabe's family. Then we went to Nan Nan and B dad's for lunch! It was a busy Easter. Ford took a great nap in the afternoon! What a special Easter Day:)

Easter Egg Hunt!

On Wednesday we went to Matt and Missy Guthrie's home for an Easter egg hunt! We had such a wonderful time. Ford got to play with his friends. He loved watching the children play and hunt eggs! Missy and Matt had a prepared a yummy meal for all of us. Thank you to them for opening up their beautiful home. We had a great time! Plus the Easter bunny stopped by too!!the three babiesa little tummy actionthe egg hunt:)

Nan Nan's birthday was April 5th! We all ate at Macaroni Grill after church, then everyone came back to our house for cake! We love you Nan and happy birthday!!

8 Months

I am finally posting Ford's 8 month pics and stats. So basically for this past month Ford has been learning how to get into everything. He is so busy!! I can't imagine what messes he is going to make once he begins crawling. He keeps getting more and more fun though! We cannot take our eyes off him for a minute or he will be into a basket or pulling a cord! Even though he cannot crawl, he finds a way to scoot or roll to something he wants. Here are Ford's 8 month stats.

At 8 months...

Has four teeth...two on top and two on bottom

Can get to any object laying near him...will roll 5-6 times in a row if need be

Has a pouty face when something is taken from him

Loves eating anything we are eating at meal times...especially broccoli cheese soup from Panera

Fascinated with cups...loves tea:)

Loves talking...baby talk that is

says "dada" and "baba"

still wakes up one time during the night

sleeps with us...rolls all over the bed and we end up in a 'H' formation

trying desperately to pull up and crawl...gets up on all fours

makes a fist and hits it with the other hand...for some reason he thinks this is hilarious

loves patting Izzi...or pulling her fur

lays his head down on your chest when he is tired or being shy

smiles all the time

has a fake laugh

He is so much fun! We love you Fordo!

Ford and Eleanor's playdate

Last friday, Eleanor Ewing came over to play with Ford. She looked so cute in her little outfit...she even wore a pretty pink bow to impress Ford! They had a great time laying on the floor looking at each other! At one point Ford grabbed Eleanor's outfit, and Eleanor did not appreciate that, so she let out a cry! Eleanor also took a nap in Ford's bed....good thing someone will sleep in that nice crib! I had a wonderful time visiting with Eleanor's mommy. We are excited to have them as friends! What a sweet and pretty little girl!

Day at the park!

So last week we had some really nice weather. Gabe, Ford, and I went to play at Pinkerton Park. We love this park. Ford wore his new shades and got to swing for the first time. He loved the swing. We are going to have to get him one for the back yard! Here are some cute pics from our fun day!At the start of the walk...obviously too cool for school!

Also the next day we decided we needed a jogging stroller to fit in with the other cool people at the park...just kidding! But we found this one NEW at Play it Again Sports in Cool Springs! It rolls so smoothly it is amazing! Ford thinks it's pretty comfy too!!
