My 15 month old Tasmanian Devil...

At least his Radio Flyer keeps him occupied and in a confined space!

I'm not sure if this is normal so please chime in but my son is a mischievous little minx. There are several things in his play area that he cannot play with. 
1. The metal bakers rack in the kitchen that holds glassware. He loves to shake this to see if things will fall off.
2. The dog's water bowl.
3. The extension cord we have plugged into the TV room (temporary fix for this ridiculous other issue).

These three areas are causing me endless chasing, yelling No, sitting him down in other areas, even a hand squeeze and he isn't even fazed. He doesn't give a f&*k. He is the honey badger of toddlers. How do you tell them No? Ford smiles as he saunters over to the hands-off areas and giggles incessantly when I grab him and say No.

One of my best friends from College came over Sunday to see Ford and his girlfriend Anna Lee and I think I have permanently scared them away from kids. I'm not sure I completed a sentence or sat still. Now I'm not saying my son is a terror, he is adorable and sweet and I love him to pieces. I'm just concerned he is plotting against me!

And to add insult to injury, I'm trying to drop these last 5 pounds so I'm giving up my wine/bourbon for 3 weeks before our family beach trip. Let's see how well that goes.

In other news here are some things I want to spend my hard earned money on just for him. Because I'm nuts.

We need 20 pairs of these...unfortunately the are sold out. Hanna Andersson PJ's

Ford loves blankets (so does his mom). Love this Rikshaw elephant blanket.


Orient Expressed..looks so soft after a day at the beach!

More OE

And more OE. Can you believe he has no monogrammed outfits yet? WTF!


Already thinking about his big boy room...
