PRECIOUS...........

We had some pictures done for Finlee's 6 month pictures! We also got a couple of Ford since he had not had any done since her turned two. We did some with the two of them and some with their cousin Willa. They turned out PRECIOUS!!!!!

Guess who is crawling......






I am shocked!! She has been on her knees rocking back and forth for some time, but today when we picked them up from the sitter she actually moved hands and feet. She waited for us to get there to do it too. She had not done it all day. She looked like she might try the sitter said but never did!! She is mobile!! Ford told her how proud of her he was. Can you tell we say that to him a lot!! What a perfect day! It was 65 so we went to the park!!

My little man is.........

POTTY TRAINED! He has been wearing big boy underwear for the past week and no accidents!! He even gets to wear big boy undies to the sitter during the day!!!! He is so excited about it and the M&M's that he recieves when he goes. He gets one for teetee and three for going number 2!!! He stays dry for naptime and night time too! We are so proud of him!!!

Finlee had her 6 month checkup yesterday! She got three shots:( Poor baby screamed her head off. She is quite dramatic like her mommy! All in all she was perfect. Ears were all clear and she was great. She weighs 15 lbs. 10 oz. She is in the 45% for weight, big change from the 90% when she was born. She is long and skinny. She is 24 inches long, the 87% and has a nice average head! We were told to start all foods. She is getting better but it is not her food of preference if you get my drift. She loves to nurse! I thought about starting to wean her but have decided to wait a little longer. She is growing so well that I want to keep her going until she really starts to eat solids well.

We are getting their pictures taken Saturday. My friend is a photographer and is coming to our house to get some shots of Finlee, Ford and Finlee, and then Willa, my niece, Ford and finlee all together for Jolee's mom! I cannot wait to see how they turn out! I have matched their outfits to the tee and they look precious. Hopefully Fordy will cooperate. We are hoping since we are at home he will do better. He has a hard time at the portrait place. He would rather play with the legos! Wish us luck. Will post them as soon as I get them.

I spoke too soon......

After a very rough night wioth Ford, he was up every hour crying from about 10 on. We visited the doctor today to learn that he has a double ear infection!!!!! AHHHH! Needless to say we were referred to a ENT. Ford will probably be getting tubes within the next month.

Much better.....

Well it seems that we are on the downside of all the sicknesses! Finlee is doing much better. She seems to be pulling on her right ear a alittle, but I hope it is nothing. She goes to the doctor Tuesday for her 6 month checkup!! I cannot believe that she is 6 months old! Ford has had a rough cold but with lots of Vicks vapor rub on hsi chest and a cold mist humidifier constantly going in his room while he sleeps, he seems to have gotten rid of the cold. I am excited because tonight I will try a new recipe from my new cookbook, Deceptively Delicious. Ford is getting pickier and pickier so it is time to be sneaky!! Wish me luck!
The kids all bundled up for the cold weather!!!


Look who is sitting up!

Is he not precious!!!!




Playing the Wii! I am not a big fan of video games
but this is active and he loves it!! Especially playing
baseball!

HOORAH!!!!!

Finlee finally took a bottle from the sitter today!!! We were getting worried, but she did it fine today!! WHEW!!!!

Also....... Good News!!! Ford has been dry for two days, nap time and bedtime also!!!! Maybe this is it! He still won't always tell you he has to go, but if you keep on him and make him go he does great!! Hopefully he will start to tell more!!!

Poor baby....







What a rollercoaster!!! Finlee seemed to be doing better. She was sleeping a little better and was acting more like herself. Well yesterday and today she would not take a bottle from the sitter, but she was nursing fine still. Today was really bad, she just cried!! So I took her back to the doctor. The ear infection was now in both ears. Needless to say she recieved a shot. Thank goodness because she hated taking the medicine. She passed out tonight ans was feeling much better!!! Poor thing!!!
