6 Weeks Old

I can't believe Ford is 6 weeks old. He is constantly changing. He has also decided that he does not want to go down for naps during the day. I am working on him laying in his crib, too. He doesn't really like it that much. Thank the Lord he does sleep in his bassinet at night though. He is sleeping in it right now too and hopefully will stay asleep long enough for me to get a quick shower. Here are some new photos from last week and this week. Hope you enjoy them.

Look Who Is 1 Month Old...

We are still having problems with our internet. I need to call Comcast or Dell and try to get it fixed, but for some reason I don't seem to have the time to do that during the day even though I'm at home. I wonder what that reason could be ... Our Little Ford Man! Once again I will post as much as I can right now while it is working. We hope to get more regular at posting soon.

Life with Ford is going very well. He is starting to smile and I think a few coos here and there. He is awake a lot more during the day. We think he is getting longer, too. We go to the doctor on Monday for his 6 week check up. I can't believe it was 6 weeks ago tonight that Brad and I had our last night out without a little one. We stayed up late and could hardly sleep all night long with anticipation of the next day - our little man's arrival day. We both tossed and turned all night long. Now, how I wish we could have slept that night!

Okay, Mom just one picture.

I thought you said just one!

MOMMY, please just stop the pictures and hold me!

Mom, I know I'm cute, but these photo shoots are wearing me out. (Thanks Nana for my red pants and onsie.)

Week 4

More Ford...

I love hanging out with my dad.

Daddy!!!

I'm sorry son. What did you say?

That's better. Doesn't he know it's all about me now, not the TV.

Mommy loves this site everynight. I love it when Daddy holds me like this and pats my back.

Our Little Ford Man

It is hard to believe that Ford is already 4 weeks old. We are still having problems with our internet, so since it is working right now I'm going to try to post as many pictures as I can for all of our friends and family far away to see. Hope you enjoy watching Ford grow as much as we are.

Ford - 2 weeks old

I love to watch my mobile in my bed.

Just watching my mobile again. (week 3)

Mom how many pictures are you really going to take in a minute?

Look, I can count to three and hold my paci at the same time. (week 3)

Do you think Mommy is overstimulating me?

Thanks Wesley for my new T-shirt. I can't wait to meet you in person.

YEAH!!! The internet is finally working!

I am so sorry it has been so long since we have posted. We have had Internet problems for the past couple of weeks. I have been on the phone with Dell two times who did not help me. I finally figured it out myself the other day.

We have lots of good news to report about Ford!!! Last week when we went for his 2 week check up he was not back to his birth weight and had started spitting up a lot after every feeding. I had to start feeding him for only 20 minute periods every two hours. I also had to try to keep him upright and still for about 30 minutes after each feeding. That gave me only about an hour to rest or eat for myself. We also started him on some very expensive acid reflux medicine to see if that was the reason for the spitting up. To say the least I was still just worried that he was growing as needed.


We had to go back to the doctor this past Wednesday to get Ford's weight checked again and ...he was above his birth weight - 8lbs. 5 oz. - yeah!!! What a relief for mommy and daddy. The doctor also told us that I could start waiting every three hours during the day to feed him and let him sleep as long as he would at night. I felt like a new woman. I mean that extra hour in between feeding sure does help out a lot. He also slept for 7 hours Wednesday night! I kept waking up every hour to make sure he was breathing. But then last night he woke up every three hours - oh well. One night of 7 hours was good enough for us. I'm sure he will start sleeping longer more consistently soon enough.


This has been my first week by myself. Everything is going well. I still look horrible and don't feel like I get much done during the day, but I guess feeding and changing Ford is a lot. All in all I am so thankful to be able to be at home with Ford during this time. Here are some pics from the last few weeks.


Daddy is already reading to me. Can't you tell I am so in to it?



My half smile - isn't it cute!

Look, I can hold my own paci.

That stinks! Oh wait that's me.

Daddy always spends time with me before he leaves for work!
