18 month check up!

Last week we had a big Wednesday full of doctors appointments. Gabe took the day off so he could be with us and help me:) First we went to Ford's 18 month check up. He did a great job. Here are his stats:

27 lbs. 3 oz. (65%)

33 3/4" length (85%)

19 3/8" head circum. (85%)

What a big boy we have, and so blessed that he is healthy. He did not have to get any vaccines!! They did check his vision, and it was great! Sadly, it was our last visit with Dr. Ewing:( We love her so much, and we will miss her so much! Next up on agenda for the day was a trip to see Dr. Christopherson, who is Ford's ortho doc. We where supposed to have a follow up for his right foot once he began walking. The checkup went so well. He said his foot looked awesome, and that he would see him back after his 2 year bday. And probably in the fall, he would do an outpatient procedure on his foot to lengthen his arch. All in all it was a busy day, but we had wonderful news all around!listening very hard to what Dr. Chris is saying!

Valentine's weekend

This weekend we went to Ellie's 9th birthday at the Brentwood skate center. My was that a crazy place on a Saturady! Ford had so much fun watching all the children skate, until he wanted to get down and play. Kindof a dangerous place for little people fyi! For the most part, we spent the weekend at home, which was so nice! Gabe and I still have to celebrate our 2 year anniversary, so we are going to combine the too and do it in the next coulpe weeks! Here are some pics of Ford this morning in his outfit I appliqued for him to wear today!

I thought this one was funny...he looks so sad, like "why did you put me in this outfit!"

Super Bowl 2010

We had a few friends over to watch the Colts face off the Saints. I was sad with the outcome, but we all had a great time. We had some yummy food, a coffee run, and the kids demolished the house!! Can't wait to do it again next year since it has become a tradition! Thank you to the Guthrie's and Alsup's for a fun night:)

Snow pics...yes, these were a while back!

We had a big snow several weeks ago. Ford loved it! He kept going to the window and saying "no"...which he meant snow. We took him out for a few minutes since we had all been sick. He loved thorwing snowballs and crunching around in the beautiful snow!

Big Boy Room!

We recently changed Ford's room to a "big boy" room! He now has a big bed, and a little play area, which he loves. He will just sit in the corner of his room where his toys are all day. He loves climbing up on top of his kitchen to try and get on the bed...he is definitely a big boy now!

Lots of catching up...

So I have been a very bad blogger since right after Christmas:( We have had sickness in our house almost all on January, but we are finally on the mend! So here is a long post to catch up on things!

New Year's went by pretty fast. Not alot of pics that day, because Ford came down with the stomach bug, and then I got it. Thanks alot Chucky Cheese! We ate at both families houses that day then came home to begin the fun of stomach bugs...

One night we went to the Guthrie's house to watch the SEC championship game. The boys had a great time playing!
Then, one night Ella Tate came over to play while her parents had some things to do. I guess that was a good little practice for me since Gabe was still at work. They played so well together and made a big mess!!

Here are some pics from our trip to the circus! It was so much fun. Laura and Ella Tate, and Courtney, Nolen, and Grady went with us! Thank you to Laura for getting the tickets! Ford fell asleep about 45 min into the show, but then woke up after intermission. He loved the horses and elephants the most!Ford loves bananas!
