I am 29 months and 2 and half years old!!

Well with moving and Christmas I have gotten really behind on the blog so this monthly update will have 29 months and 30 months combined! We just love this age and are having so much fun with our sweet boy! Ford is just full of personality and is almost always happy! He is still a total Mama's boy and I love it! Here are some facts about Ford at 29 and 30 months!

*He loved Christmas this year and would say "Merry Tis-mas", and after Christmas I would tell him to say Happy New Year, and he would say "Buzz Yight Year!!".
*He is hilarious and love to make us laugh! I don't think Erik and I have ever laughed more in our life!
*He is so sweet and kind to other little kids. Other moms are always telling me what a good sharer he is. He makes his mama proud!
*He is definitely in the "I do it myself" and "my turn" phase! Holy moly you have no idea how many times I hear that in a day!
*He says peak-a-poo instead of boo!
*He says that Lightning McQeen says "Pa-Chow"!
*He calls a heliocopter a "ha do do"!
*He says "sits sit" for fix it!
*He says "I dont queso" for I don't think so!
*He loves animals and pretending to be animals especially rhinos, lions and dragons!
*He loves to tell me he "needs" things. Like "I need candy in my hand"!
*He can't say L's so he still says "ye-yo", "gwubbs" and "bwanket"!
*He loves to cheers! Anytime he sees two things that are alike he wants to cheers them!
*He loves Superman and tells me he has superpowers!
*He has mastered riding his Strider and can go so fast!
*He is very attached to his blanket that he calls his "night night". He loves to rub the corners between his fingers when he falls asleep!
*He tells us his name if Ford Olson and he is from California. He also knows that I am Lyndsey Olson and Dada is Erik Olson!
*We started to play hide-and-go-seek with him recently and Erik and I laughed until we cried! At first we would help him hide and then we would say ready or not here we come! He would immediately shout or jump out and say "I right here!". Eventually he caught on and started to stay hidden, but he only counts to 3 before he shouts some version of ready or not here I come!



Here is our sweet boy at 29 months! You have no idea how much you are loved!







Here is our Nuggie at 2 and half years old! I can't believe how big my baby is!

Christmas in Texas!

Ford and I headed to Texas after Christmas to visit my family for 10 days! He is spoiled with lots of attention and loves getting to spend time with his Texas family! We had so much fun, but after 10 days we were ready to get home and see Daddy!
 
He was so excited to go to the airport and get on an airplane!

 
We made it after a 3 1/2 hour flight! He was so good, but it is still a loooong flight entertaining him!! The only real issue we had was that he didn't want to wear the seat belt!

One of the highlights of our trip was getting to meet his cousin Ives! He still talks about him and calls him "Baby Ibes"! 
 





 
 
We took Ford to the Fort Worth Museum and he had so much fun! Katy put him on the longhorn and I'm pretty sure they aren't for riding!
 
The museum had a Curious George exhibit and Ford was in heaven!
 


Ford and Jillian




 


 
 
Ford had quite the entourage! Andrea, Aunt Val, Jake, Katy, Jillian, Aunt Shawna and Shooter!!
 
We also took Ford to the Fort Worth Zoo! It was chilly that day, but it didn't slow him down!










 

 
I sent this picture to Erik, and he texted me back and wanted to know how thick the glass was between them!! This gorilla really liked Ford!






 
Hanging out at Nana and Pawpa's house!
 
Ford took a long time to warm up to his Great Gram, but he finally gave her a big hug! Gram will be 93 in February!

 
Ford was so wild this night and red faced and sweating!!




 
He had so much fun getting in the suitcase in the closet with Katy and Jake! He wanted them to close the suitcase and the door! He had all of us laughing so hard!







 
Katy and Jake getting attacked by crazy Ford!
 



 
We took Ford to a park that I used to take Katy to when she was little!





More fun at the movie to see Frozen with Katy, Aunt Val and Shooter!

 
We tried to take Ford ice skating and it lasted about 2 1/2 minutes! We will try again when he's older!


 
Since ice skating didn't work out we went to Chuck-e-Cheese instead!
