Baby Ford

This past Fall my brother Mac and sister in law Lacey were blessed with their first child. A boy. Donald MacDonald Russell, IV.  They cleverly call him "Ford".  He is a hunk of gummy love. 

 The above is a pic of me with Ford at Crawford Christmas. 

He has grown so much since then. Check out his most kissable cheeks.

We hung out with Ford and his parents a few weekends ago in Birmingham. Shindigs Food Truck was in Mountain Brook Village Friday night. We were thrilled. Made the three minute treck from Mother's house. Enjoyed a good visit with the fam and a gourmet dinner! 

Fairchild, who knows the value of a good snack, had a blast feeding Ford puffs. One after another....after another.

 Aunt Lacey handing out jelly bellies. We liked those as much as Ford liked his puffs!

 Couldn't resist throwing in the twirl pic of Fairchild below. She rates all clothing based on two factors (1) twirl and (2) color.  If the clothing item twirls but is not a favorite color, she will still wear the item. If the clothing item does not twirl but is pink, she will still wear the clothing item.  If the clothing item does not twirl and is not pink then there is no way she is putting it on her body. No need for further consideration. Period.

Above, Fairchild twirled for Uncle Mac in appreciation of his fabulous truffle fries. In Fairchild's world, fries are a food group.  Macaroni and Cheese is another food group.  Ketchup and chocolate complete her food pyramid. Wonder what Ford's favorite food groups are going to be. I suppose for now its milk and puffs.

Aunt Lacey has the sweetest of friends. They gathered for some Friday night chat over dinner.  We enjoyed sharing the patio with them. (and no arrests --haha!) Ford is blessed to have such wonderful "aunts" in his life.

Sam, Fairchild and friend Billy with Uncle Mac and Chef Chad.   If you are in the Birmingham area, I highly suggest stopping by for lunch or dinner. Check out Facebook and/or Twitter for their location (changes daily). 

Can't wait to see you again Ford!! Love you lots - Aunt J
