Here are 2 pictures from a recent bath.  As you can tell Ford loves bath time.  Check out his “crazy” hair in the first pic.  Also- check out that dimple!  I think that might be the only thing he got from me. . .

As you can see from these two pictures Ford loves Auntie Sheryl!

Here are a couple pictures of Ford sleeping on his side.  This is now his regular sleep position every night.  However, he moves a ton in the crib.  We may place him this way and later we may find him turned 180 degrees, or going sideways.

This was morning of the day we started sleep training last week.  The last morning for Ford to be in our bed.  You can see he is quite pleased with himself.

My friend Brooke is so funny and made me laugh all weekend!

reading Ford and his dad “reading” after dinner.  He is in his “snuggly” to help him fall asleep.  He has been fighting sleep during the day and early evening.  Thank goodness he has been pretty good about going to “bed” for the night (around 10:30 or 11).

    Just went to the web site and saw the new category “Featuring Ford.” Know you have the best computer guy working on those photos. Can’t wait to see that bouncing boy!!

    We are so excited for you!!

  2. Linda said

    Oh my gosh, I am so excited for you guys. He is such a doll baby. Molly weighed that exact amount. 8 lbs 13 oz. Its cute to have a big ol chunky monkey boy but when you see a sweet little baby girl look like a big ol haus it was kind of funny. You guys are so blessed. Enjoy every min. They go by so fast.
    Love you and cant wait to meet Ford in person. Linda

  7. Holly & Shane Bender said

    We are so excited for you guys! What a CUTE baby! Allison and Ford both look great! Good thing about the c-section is that you get to stay in the hospital longer and be waited on. :) Enjoy every second. I even ordered a turkey sandwich in the middle of the night once after having the twins. Take care and hopefully you can get some sleep.

  8. Kelly Watson said

    Dear Allison and Jeff,

    Aunt Sheryl is braging up a storm!, but she is right! He is a doll and so much fun to see all the photos. Thanks for sharing. I am so happy for both of you.
    Love, Kathy

  25. Dear Ford, You are not EVEN a week old and already you are a lady killer! You are so cute! I can’t stand it! Every picture that gets posted just melts my heart! Your mom and dad look so happy and so far, I don’t see any dark circles under their eyes from sleepless nights!! Guess that will come soon enough or are you going to give them a break???? Better get your days and nights figured out while grandma Sue is there helping out so that you can get you mom and dad on YOUR schedule when she is gone. Bet your Grandpa Bux was happy to meet you and I know that Grandpa Crane is anxious to see you too! Keep those cute photos coming! Love, Gr. Auntie Sheryl

  26. Jan Acquisto said

    Good job Allison!
    My son Chris was 8 lbs.14oz. and he looked older than all the other babies in the nursery. I bet Ford does too!
    He’s beautiful.
    Relax (somehow) and enjoy him.
    Love,
    Jan

    Welcome to our world Ford! I am so happy you arrived safely. You are a special blessing to all of us. God bless you little one.

  32. Grandad Jeff said

    Hey Ford,

    Hope you’re having a great Saturday. Heard some “big” news from your Mom. She has posted your latest stats and wow fella–you are really growing. 9# 4.5oz and 21 3/4″ tall–I know until you’re standing I guess it should be 21 3/4″
    “long.” But then at that growing rate I bet you’ll be standing any day now. Just don’t grow up too fast, your fan base just loves seeing you the cute baby you are.

    Speaking of your fan base here is what you need to do. Go wake up your Dad (surely he knows it’s Saturday morning and he needs to be watching cartoons with you) and tell him to get right down to the Columbia Cafe. I saw on the TV that all the media is down there for the presidential primary–yea, I know you’re not interested in any of that–but I thought that agent Dad of yours could tip them to the real news over on Brentwood. Just think of being on CNN, Fox, and all the other channels and what that will do for your fan base. You’ll be a big hit and surely your ratings will go sky high. So go get him up–a few screams will do it.

    And while he is out, get him to pick you up a sled. Believe you may have some snow coming your way. And then while you are sledding, get him to make you a snowman. But you will need to give him some slack with that one. You see he is a La. boy and really didn’t have much experience with making snowman. But surely he learned something about that when he was visiting your Colorado grandparents. And get him to take some pictures, we would love to see you with your first snow.

    Now you see what your Dad needs to be doing with his Saturdays. Keep him busy with whatever you want and your Mom will love you for that.

    Oh by the way, you have visitors on the way to see you from Fort Worth. It’s Uncle Jason and Aunt Kari. They are so excited. They are heading up your Texas fan club so smile for all their photos. Hope you’re not getting too tired of doing that–the price for being a “star.”

    Well Ford, that’s about it from Shreveport. It’s been great visiting with you on the web cam and you know you can call anytime. And I promise to be over to see you real soon. I love you fella. Give Mom and Dad a big hug and kiss for me.

    Love,
    Grandad Jeff

  33. Amy Curry said

    Yall. He is SOOOO cute!!!! I just love him! I can’t wait until I can see yall in him more. I feel like it’s too early to know who he looks like… maybe you can tell more in real life? Thanks so much for the update and new pictures!

  34. Dave Hanchey said

    You gotta love that Ford. Congratulations ! He’d be smiling all of the time if you just get him an L.S.U cap. Keep putting up the pics. We all don’t have a camera set up like Jeff

  35. Patti said

    Ford…you are going to love those bath time pictures when you are 15! We certainly love them now! How cute! Looks like you fell in love with your aunt and uncle and I know they are already in love with you. I am and I haven’t even seen you in person yet! Keep those pictures coming our way. They have a way of brightening up our day in dreary Shreveport!
    love, Great Aunt Patti

  36. Richard Langford said

    The pictures are great. Growth is so rapid at Ford’s age. I am sure that he is teaching Allison and Jeff quite a lot. Love from Gramp – the source of the Langford name. I think it provides a good nickname.

  37. Gram said

    Such great pictures of your precious baby.. and Mom and Dad look mighty good too.. Hope you haven’t lost too much sleep but even so..it’s all so worth it..
    Can’t believe he’s already right around the corner from being a month old.. It didn’t take him long to become the most popular member of the Crane family.. We all love him so much and hope to see you all in the near future.
    Lots of love to all three.. Gram

  38. Amy Curry said
