Getting ready for Halloween!

We are all set for Halloween!!! The pumpkins are carved and Ford's costume is all ready! I decided to go ahead and dress him up to take a few pictures! I wasn't sure if he would wear it or not, but he was a trooper and even set still for a few pictures! He's the cutest little bear I've ever seen!

A bit of a serious boy here, just a few minutes before he took a nasty tumble off a step:( You can see the knot forming on the right side of his head!

Not much smiling tonight!

A few nights later we got all dressed up!

Now we just have a little bruise on the his head!

This one is my favorite!

Ford sure does LOVE his Dada!

 Nice job carving the pumpkins Dada!!!

I had to throw in a few from last year!!! What a difference a year makes! I can't believe how big my little pumpkin has gotten!

Indian Summer

September and October are our Indian Summer months, and we have been getting some beautiful weather! I took Ford to the beach this afternoon, and it was so warm we ditched the clothes and played in the water!

More tricks!

I was trying to get Ford to do a somersault in this video, but instead I caught him taking some more steps! Once he sees the camera he is usually charging me to get his hands on it, so that's why some of my videoing is a little rough!

While I do catch a somersault and a little bit of stretcing in this video I also catch a little something else! I love how serious his face gets!



First Steps!

Ford decided today was the day that he was going to take his first steps all by himself! Erik and I were watching football and all of a sudden Ford just stood up and started walking! They were very wobbly steps, but later on he did it again!!! I took the shortest video ever because I couldn't believe I was actually capturing it, but at least I got it! We are so proud of you Ford!!

Best Buddies!

Ford loves his doggie so much, and Cooper is starting to love him too! He calls him "Goopy" and is always looking out the window for him! Cooper is so gentle with Ford and lets him pull his ears, poke his eyes, pull his tail and crawl all over him. He even lets Ford play with his very favorite ball! When Cooper is inside he's only allowed to be on his bed, so if Cooper is inside on his bed that's where Ford is too!

Don't worry it's just a yawn! Cooper is a nervous yawner anytime he feels nervous or uncomfortable he yawns!!!

Again with the yawning!

Somehow they are both making the same face!

"Goopy, come here I need to tell you a secret!"

"I wasn't finished come back!"

Happy Birthday Sommer!

Sweet Sommy turned 1 on September 22nd and we were lucky enough to celebrate with her!! It's fun to already see at such a young age how much Sommer and Ford like each other, and how well they play together! Thanks for letting us be a part of your special day! We love you Sommy!

Sweet Friends!

Sommer making sure Ford remembers it is her party!!!

Love these two girls!

Ford and Annike getting in on the action! They opened up one present that was a dress and Ford grabbed it and threw it! He's already figured out that clothes are lame presents to a kid!
