23 lbs. 12oz (90%)

29 1/2 inches in length (85%)

18 1/2 in. head circumference (90%)

Birthday wishes!

In the past month we have celebrated several birthdays! We started with Hannah's birthday. We went to Macaroni Grill. It was so yummy.

Second we celebrated Hunter's 30th birthday. For his celebration we went to Rose Pepper Cantina! It was delicious.

Next was Katherine Bennett's b-day. Now this one was one of my personal favorites because I love Pancake Pantry!! Alsways a winner in my book:)

Last, but certainly not least, we went to Maggiano's to enjoy a bday dinner for Jake. Family style is awesome!


Happy birthday to all!!

9 months...

Wow...how quickly time flies. I know those of you with children are thinking "that's nothing new to me." But it is diffucult to handle when your child is growing up so fast. Children are such a blessing. I think that is why I always enjoyed babysitting so much.

Ford is doing so many things at 9 months. I know I will forget to write down alot of the in this post.
At 9 months....
crawls everywhere
knows how to play with our dog Izzi, pulls her toy around and she will chase it
has a fake laugh that he likes to listen to himself do
eats 3 meals of babyfood and/or table food/day
still wakes up one time during the night to eat...but sleeps about 10-11 hours total
takes two naps a day
loves his grandfathers...b-daddy and papa
is very very busy
loves vanilla wafers
smiles alot...a whole lot!
lays his head on your chest when he is tried
has four teeth
starting to pull up on certain things
talks constantly
says dada and occassionally mama
waves bye bye and hello
He is the happiest baby I know. He definitely knows how to get his way. Although he is beginning to understand what no means. He also will pucker his bottom lip out and begin crying if he gets his feelings hurt. I don't know how much more fun he can get. I could literally eat every moment up! We love you Ford!

We had a wonderful time visiting with each other. We put together a scrapbook for her, and she gave us a beautiful broach to wear on our dresses on the wedding day! It was such a gorgeous day to celebrate too!

they made cookies for each girl..and the cookies hair color matched the bridesmaids hair!

I had these sketches done....obviously one is of Sam's dress and the other is the bridesmaids dresses
