I am 26 months old!

Our first month in a new town is under our belt, and our sweet boy is a month older! He has been our bright shinning light during all of this change, and taught us so much about what really matters in our little life. While Erik and I mourned our beautiful home Ford carried on with the same joy for life and didn't miss one smile or giggle. His sweet innocence convicted both of our hearts and set us straight on where true happiness comes from....it comes from us being together! Thanks you sweet Ford you teach your Mama and Dada more than you know! Here are some facts about Ford at 26 months old!
 
 
*He loves kids! Our neighborhood is full of kids (mostly all girls), and he runs out the front door yelling "Kiiiiids"!
*He has such a sweet nature about him, and is so kind to others. He is great at sharing and never wants other kids to cry or be sad!
*He knows all of his colors! All the primary colors and also pink, purple, black, white and gray! He learned it by looking at trucks driving on the road.
*One of my favorite words he says is yellow pronounced "yea-yo"! Some of my other favorite words are "a-popdoo" popcicle, "up-mess" Mikey Mouse, "up fly" butterfly!
*He is still totally obsessed with trucks and knows all the different kinds. Currently the garbage truck is his favorite!
*He loves going to the park and asks me almost everyday if we can go!
*He has an amazing memory and continually shocks me with the things he remembers!
*He is working on his ABC's and counting to 10!
*He has become an even bigger mama's boy!

Here is our sweet Ford at 26 months! You fill up our hearts!

Bay Area Discovery Museum

An old friend of mine from growing up just moved to the East Bay from Texas and we met in the middle in Sausalito at the Bay Area Discovery Museum. Krista has two little girls Conley and Evie! We had so much fun at the museum and Ford got to experience all sorts of new things!!
 
The museum is just on the other side of the Golden Gate and it has a beautiful view! 
 
 
It didn't take him long to find the trucks!
 
 They had these really cool ramps to drive the cars up and down!
 
They had a boat that you could drive an it rocked back and forth. He loved it!
 
His favorite part was the train room! They had huge train tables with tons of trains,  train tracks and tunnels!


 
He loved the painting center and was very serious about his painting!

 
Here he is with Conley!


Our new beach!

We made our first trip to Bodega Bay this past weekend! It was about a 45 minute drive which is a bit longer than what we are use to, but we will get use to it! The beach was really pretty and we had a great day! Ford loved it and didn't even notice it wasn't our old beach!
 




 
We couldn't let Coop off the leash at this beach, so he was a little bummed! We are going to find a dog friendly beach to go to next time!

 
Erik and Ford flew a kite for the first time! Ford loved it, but I think that Erik had more fun than Ford!
