Ford’s 18 Month Update

January 12, 2021

It’s really hard to believe that our little Ford is already 18 months old. His first 18 months have just flown by! It might be in part because he seems to be in a big hurry to grow up. He wants to be just like his big brothers, so he’s hit all his milestones especially early. Now that he’s walking, talking and even running, there’s no turning back!

Height/Weight

We go to the doctor this week, but he continues to be tall and has the cutest chubby thighs!

Sleeping

Ford is down to one nap and sleeping all night long. He loves his sleep and is very ready for bed at the end of the day!

Personality

Ford is as sweet as they come. He is very vocal, really starting to talk a lot and saying new words every day. He is also very independent. He does everything on his own and wants meals/toys/etc just like his brothers. He goes non-stop all day long while he’s awake. He is bossy and/or strong-willed 😉 and he has his lovie “bun bun” with him at all times.

He’s very into trains right now. He calls them “choo choo trains” and wakes up wanting to play with them. He loves watching Cocomelon and when he gets tired, he pops his thumb in his mouth, grabs “bun-bun”, hops on the sofa and asks to watch “Coco”. He is so social; he says “hi!” to everyone he sees and has never met a stranger he didn’t want to get to know.

Schedule

We are still following the same “schedule” from when Ford was 15-months old. He typically wakes around 8 am, breakfast and play. Lunch is around noon, nap around 1 and bed around 7ish.

Nursing/Weaning

Nothing has really changed here. Ford is still nursing at night and in the morning.

Solids

Ford has gotten a little bit picky, but he will still eat pretty much any fruits and vegetables. He loves berries, yogurt, avocado, brussel sprouts, pasta, steamed artichokes and pretty much any vegetable. Very different than his big brothers!

Travel

Travel has been a bit different this year, but we are thankful we got to take Ford to Vail this winter and enjoy the snow!

Milestones

Vocabulary has grown a ton
Walking down steps without holding on to a hand or railing and climbing on anything/everything!
Learned to ride his scooter
Running and jumping
He loves to color and asks for his “colors” everyday!

Must-Have Baby Items

He got a scooter for Christmas and he is obsessed!
Ford drinks a green smoothie every morning and this is the best smoothie cup, it stays cool and the straw doesn’t come out!
Santa brought these Blockaroo’s and Ford loves them. They are easy to connect/build and they make a “click” sound when connected. You can also use in the bath!
Ford has been living in these cozy lounge sets on cold days
He is now more adamant about not sitting in his high chair and getting to sit in a booster next to his brothers
This toy was great for traveling and going out to eat!
He loves any toy that he can put things in/down/around! He has been loving this one and he also puts trains down the holes – he could sit there forever doing it!

Cheers,

Stia, Jean and Katherine

December in Review

January 11, 2021

We started off December in Vail, Colorado for a family ski trip. You can see our blog post with all the details from our trip here. It was our second year going right after Thanksgiving and we hope to continue the tradition!

One of our favorite Christmas traditions has been visiting Santa at the original Neiman Marcus store in downtown Dallas. This year was a little different, of course, so we had to come up with a new plan. We had Santa come to our house! It was so much fun for the boys to spend as much time as they liked talking to Santa. Santa was wonderful with them. He asked them great questions about themselves and gave a little lesson about showing kindness. It was such a good experience that we’re planning to make this our new Santa tradition.

There was so much Christmas fun in spite of Covid, that we really had to plan our days to fit it all in. A trip to see the Trains at Northpark was a must do. The boys all love seeing the miniature trains set up and following them around the exhibition. We went to see the 12 Days of Christmas puppet show and also saw Frozen 2 outside at Four Seasons Dallas with popcorn and hot chocolate.

Another new tradition we started this year was Henry’s Gingerbread House party. We invited Henry’s friends from school and the moms. Each child had a gingerbread house to decorate with frosting and so many different kinds of candy. We all had so much fun!

The family all spent a fun few days together at Jean’s house over Christmas. We stayed in our pajamas, played games and went swimming in the hot tub. Not to mention the boys having so much fun playing together with all their Christmas presents! It was a blast.
