Down Dog

Sutton is trying SO HARD to crawl. He just keeps getting stuck in this down dog pose and can't quite figure out where to go from there.

Life Lately

I've been a bad blogger! We've been so busy traveling and enjoying this awesome weather that I pushed blogging to the back burner. We're home now (for the next 3 weeks anyway) so hopefully I can get back to it.

We spent the end of May in Oklahoma visiting my family and we had a blast. Boy was it hot though! We went to my cousin's high school graduation (congrats Tripp!), had some pool time, ate great food, and watched Ford play A LOT of basketball. Here's a few pics from our trip.

Summer Fun

I love the look on both their faces here. Brotherly love at its finest!

It's Been a Big Week for Sutton

In the past week, Sutton has mastered rolling over both ways, sitting up, eating solid foods and getting weaned. To top it all off, our little cutie pie now has TWO teeth! I was shocked to feel them in his mouth, he was never fussy once! Oh, and he even learned to drive a car!

Alphabet Soup

Grandpa Robert gave Ford some money for his birthday and one of the things Ford picked out was an alphabet puzzle. He sits at his little table and does it and he loves to have us point at the letters while singing the ABC's. He's gotten really good at putting all the letters in the right spot, he only misses a couple. He can even spell his name!

Funny Man, Ford

Ford is cracking us up these days. He is finally talking really well and I can actually understand what he's saying and most of what comes out of his mouth just makes me laugh. Here's a few of his recent "Ford-isms".

*He minds his manners! He says please (peas), thank you (fank ah), no thank you (no fank ah), and you're welcome (welca). Most times he uses them improperly but it's still polite and cute nonetheless. He's been running a temp this week, and when he doesn't want to take his medicine he'll scream "NO FANK AH MAW" and run away. If I'm lucky enough to actually get some medicine in his mouth, he'll immediately look at me and say, "no maw, sink! Sink!", which means put that syringe in the sink now, I don't want it!

*Whenever Sutton cries or gets really loud about something, Ford will walk over to him and say, "sorry CC, no cry" which comes out as "sor sees, no crah", followed by a big wet kiss. Melt. My. Heart.

*I went to Whole Foods to stock up on baby food for Sutton. Ford insisted on helping me unload the groceries. Apparently he thought that Sutton needed ALL the food at that very moment.

*He's all about sunglasses now. It's like he's realized how bright the sun is here in the Mile High City and he gets why Ryan and I are never without sunglasses.

Busy Weekend

This post should be about the awesome girls weekend I had in Vegas, but instead it's going to be about the fun time Ryan and the boys had with Grandma Linda. Since I was laid up in bed for the 2nd time this month with an ear infection, respiratory infection, and sinus infection, Grandma Linda rose to the challenge and helped with all the needs of my boys while she was here. There was a trip to the farm, lots of long walks and park time, a bit of snow and some good ol' fashioned fun in the basement.
