Cruising

(Compliments of Sister!)

(Hanging out at lakes park...he was just laughing at all the kids around him)

(Ford at Annabell's 2nd b-day party)

Ford is on the move. He goes goes goes until he is ready for bed. He is still taking 2 naps a day, thank you Jesus ;)! He is now pulling up on everything and trying to cruise along side of whatever he has grabbed onto. He especially enjoys holding onto peoples legs and pulling up.

Ford'S top "eye" tooth just broke skin 2 days ago. He has been chewing and biting on everything. It looks as though his top two front teeth are coming through as well...but they haven't broke skin yet.
I'm not sure if it's teething, a growth spurt or what but Ford has really been eating a TON! He still takes 5-6 feedings a day from me (milk), and also eats 3 full meals a day, with snacks! And when I say 'full' meals I mean it. For example at dinner last night he ate 1/2 a large tortilla, 4 cubes of zucchini, oatmeal, puff cereal snacks, and 1 1/2 egg yolks!!! The night before he at 1/2 of a chicken breast and everything I mentioned before with the exception of the tortilla, and he ate 2 whole egg yolks as well! So I'm thinking it might be a boy thing...because I keep hearing all the moms talk about how their boys have eaten them out of their house! Granted they are teenage boys, Ford is just starting on it WAY early!

We went to Great Grandma Zachritz house the other day to visit. It was so much fun because Ford got to meet his Great Uncles, Rob and Charlie and his Great Aunt Ann. Plus he saw Chris, Sue, Clair, and Great Grandma of coarse! Lots of visiting and Ford ate up the attention. He was teething and they really must of been bothering him that day because he was chewing on everything. I turned the corner to look at him and to my amazement he had an ENTIRE rubber duck head in his mouth...must of felt good! Here is some video.
Some of Fords latest sounds are:

• Baabaa
• Daadaa
• MaaMaa
• *Muah*-the kissing sound
• Yay!
• and he can kind of mimic the sounds Annabell is making.
• He also said "bad" yesterday after I told him that spitting food on mommy is "bad". He said it with smiles though ;)

I am not allowing Ford to watch TV until he is older, like his sister did as well. But it is much harder now that Annabell likes to watch her shows. I usually tell her she can watch them when Ford is asleep, which she is pretty good about. OR sometimes I will allow it to be on but I make sure he can't see it, by putting something in his way, but now that he is mobile that doesn't work so well.
And last but not least here is some video of Ford eating a Nectarine, he loves them!!! Great to teeth on too! Love y'all!
