Hello Monday.

Yesterday we had our FIRST experience with Battle Wounds.
It was the classic scenario HEAD vs WALL.
Wall won.
Hunter cried for a bit but Cheerios seemed to make EVERYTHING better.






On our afternoon walk Hunter got to play on the slide with mom and dad.
He loved it.





Did I mention that he is pulling himself up onto the couch and the table? 








Everyone said once he started crawling, the standing and walking would happen soon after but this soon?
He just started crawling LAST week.
It is truly amazing to see how quickly he is moving.

Slow down Hunter.









PS. I got to see this BEAUTIFUL long lost family friend on Friday night.
Leamor went to USF with my dad the same time he was getting his PhD. 
She is such a wonderful lady and has been a good friend for many years.
Can't wait to see her when she comes back to Utah in October.


PPS. Our secret had to be revealed a little earlier then I thought to our church members so if you heard a little rumor... please keep it to yourself. 
At least until Monday of next week.
ONE WEEK and I promise I will share the BIG NEWS I have been DYING to share with all our readers.

Busy. Busy.

What a week it's been! 
So much is going on around the Ford home that every day we crash around 9 o'clock pm. 
(which I secretly love and don't care it makes us an old marry couple)

-It's crazy busy at work for Kevin
 (he's getting to the office around 6AM and not getting home until 7PM). 
-It's a ZOO in our home right now 
(which is giving me severe anxiety and bringing out a little OCD) 
- And poor Hunter is in full blown teething time. 
Silly teething is causing VERY NEW TO US middle of the night wake times at 12, 2 and 5-ish unless he is sleeping with mom on the twin mattress in his room. 
True, that is where I have been sleeping for the past WEEK and all I can say is, 
who knew an eight month old could be SUCH a BED HOG!

Luckily, there have been a few great foods and Apps that have gotten us through this crazy week.
(And probably the rest of the weeks in March)
Here is our weekly Hot List.


Hunter.
Transitioning into solid foods has been a blast for the little guy who is always reaching and licking his lips for a taste of what mom and dad are eating.
A new favorite snack of Hunter's are Yogurt Bites. 
Freeze dried yogurt in tons of different flavors.
Mixed Berry has been the biggest hit in our house and Hunter is getting so good at picking each bite up and putting it in his mouth.
(more than half are actually making it in his mouth...Success.) 

Mommy.
Obviously, I am an INSTAGRAM addict and it seems with all of the exciting things happening with Hunter, first tooth and crawling, I am posting more pictures then ever.
I have over 1100 photos posted. 
Is that as ridiculous as it sounds?
I really need to find a good Instagram printing company.
My sister recommended one, PRINSTAGRAM I believe, and it seems to have good pricing.
Any other suggestions? 
Are you following me on Instagram?
If not follow here.

Daddy.
Kevin is a big fan of the Non Sugar cereals and we have been doing lots of Honey Bunches of Oats to compromise with my sugar tooth. 
Last week when I went grocery shopping I came across the Malt-O-Meal section and actually looked through it all.
(We had never really even considered it since it's just the two of us)
I found this Oat Blenders with Honey & Almond and thought it would be a great substitute for our Honey Bunches of Oats.
It SURPASSED our expectations. 
Delicious.
Kevin ate it for breakfast EVERY day this week.
Guess we found a new cereal and one that will last us, unless of course Kevin eats it for every breakfast.


Happy Weekend Readers.
Don't forget to set your clocks FORWARD tonight!
