I want to be like my Daddy!

Ford is just like his Daddy! He loves anything boy. He is not scared of much. Tonight we took Daddy and Pops dinner before they worked on the car. Ford of course had to go down and see the cars. He loved getting in and driving. We took a few pictures of him steering. I think I am going to have another race car driver in my future. Once he got a chance to get in the car he had to put a little work in. you can't have fun with no work. Pops gave him some tools to help fix the cars. He loved it. Excuse that he is in a diaper, but we had on nice clothes that I didn't want to mess up. Ford took right to helping. He even started to walk around the car holding his tools. I think Kyle enjoyed sharing his hobby with Ford. Oh the joys of watching your child grow up and become their own little person! We are so blessed with Ford.

Growing boy.

Pictures are in the wrong order, but Ford has started to walk! The week we got back from the beach he took off, walking every where. There is a picture of him walking in his keds. With his walking he has become a dare devil! Climbing and standing on everything. Below is a picture of him standing in his chair trying to open the door. This past weekend Ford got bit by a bug and had an acute sever reaction. The bit is actually on his cheek and it spread to his eye. When he smiled it looked like Chucky off of the Goonies so I had to take a photo. The other is just a normal shot of his face with the bite. It is sad. When he wakes up from a nap it is almost swollen shut. He is talking benedryl and Motrin. He is slowly getting better. Poor Ford!

It has been awhile!

It has been a while since I have posted. Here are five pictures of the first part of June. We filled Ford's pool he got for his birthday and he loved it. We have gotten in it several times. This month we also helped my sister move and Ford got to get on the fork lift with Papa and he loved it. He is such a boy! We went to beach at with my family and we had sooo much fun. There is a picture of us playing putt putt. Ford loved the beach if you can't tell by the pictures. He was coverd in Sand from head to toe. He was not scared of the water either. he loved the waves he would laugh when they would hit him. There was a small lake on the beach from the tide over night. Ford loved to crawl through it. Again not scared of anything. He is becoming such a big boy.

Ford's ONE year check up.

I forgot to post about Ford's ONE year check up.He went on the 11th. He did great. He cried the most when they made him lay down, go figure. With the shots he only cried for a minute. He is still petite. He weighed in at 20 pounds 7 ounces, which is the 25th percentile. He was 29 inches long, which is also the 25th percentile. His head circumference was 18 inches. He is holding up to being just like his dad. Kyle said the goodwin men were all small and then get a growth spurt in high school. We will see. Everything else about Ford is just like his dad looks, cowlicks, smile and mannerisms. Maybe our next will have something from me! Haha!

Ford took is first steps!!

Yesterday Ford took his first steps with out holding onto the couch!!! He took three or four steps. He did this a few times. Today he has gotten brave. He has been walking to me several times. Tonight he even started walking to get toys in the floor. This was the first time he walked without coming to Kyle or me. It will not be long now before he gets it down pat. We have conquered the fear so the hard part is over. I am so proud of him. He is growing so fast! Sorry no pictures. I did get a short video of it. I will post pictures as soon as I get one.

Ford's 1st Birthday!

My little boy is now ONE! This weekend we celebrated Ford's first birthday. We had so much fun. I posted a few pitures of the cake, Ford and him opening gifts. It is so hard to believe that this past year has gone so fast. Happy Birthday little man. I love you.

This Sunday was also mother's day so my family came in for the party and stayed over to celebrate. It was nice have everyone here. Thanks Amanda for helping me get ready for the party and helping cook on Sunday. Thanks Mom and Erin for helping during the party and Sunday. I had a wonderful Mother's day.

Thanks to everyone for coming to Ford's party and for the sweet gifts. He loves them all.

Easter Sunday with Family!

We had a wonderful Easter. Ford and I went to my sister's on Friday. Daddy went racing (he joined us later). While we were there, Ford went to an Easter egg hunt at Jackson's school, made rice crispy easter eggs and helped dye (watched) some eggs too. Aunt Amanda always has fun things to do. On Sunday, we had a packed day. The sermon at Church was great. We had a wonderful lunch we also had fun seeing the Easter bunny, hunting eggs and seeing family. Ford loved his Easter basket and prizes from family. Oh, and he liked the Easter bunny. He kept watching him and turing his body to make sure he had a good view. Overall Ford enjoyed his first Easter. He was tired when we got back home though. Here are a few pictures of the family on Sunday. Enjoy.
