I’ll start this by saying that a long time ago, we looked at the two pacifiers on Ian’s shelf. These were his final two. One of them got snipped, and given to him, and he was so upset that, at the time, we gave him the other. But we knew right then, that the final […]
Ian woke up this morning, Saturday August 29th, in a great mood. He seems to suddenly know more when he’s feeling well, mostly because he’s just flat-out more cooperative. This is why I think kids appear to learn in bursts and leaps… if they don’t feel like talking, you don’t know that they’re progressing in […]
EDIT – 8:01pm. Ian has been playing with our names on the way home. When I was taking off his shoes he said “You Dah-wan, Daddy… I’m Ian CHAP-uh-MAAAAAN.” (Imagine each syllable an octave higher than the last.) That I know of, first time announcing his first and last name on his own, out of […]
Craziness ahoy! All of these from August 23, 2009… Ian feeds another coaster into the credenza. Perhaps in his mind he’s shoving quarters in a Wurlitzer. Which reminds me, all coins were pennies until recently, and our little boy upgraded to asking for quarters. Inflation these days. See this image larger. *I know, let’s take […]
Does this really need an introduction? August 14th. Please keep my identity a secret! See this image larger. Up and away!!! Dun, Dun, Duuuuuun! See this image larger. Sidekick! See this image larger. Only Superpup will get us there in time… what? Oh right, that doesn’t make any sense, sorry kiddo. See this image larger. […]
This picture is from the 12th, I took it from inside my office it is included because it is cute. No wait, I can tie this in somehow…. um… “Featherweight Ian Chapman trains with Coach Mommy before the bout.” See this image larger. On August 13th, 2009, we went to IHOP yet again and Ian […]
Ladies and Gentlemen! The Chapman line has produced many quality young men in its time, but it is time to get over the “boy’s club” mentality and start thinking pink! That’s right, we’re going to have a baby girl sometime in January. We explained this to Ian last night, and he didn’t seem to care […]
Here are a few videos that show most of the footage from our August Fawn Island Trip… this used to be one big video, but I split it in half for slower connections. If you’re having trouble seeing these videos, you might need to download the latest Flash plug-in. You can find out what version […]
THIS JUST IN: This morning, August 15th, Ian produced a #2 in the standard potty, with a potty seat for toddlers in between he and it. We’re so proud! One small squat for Ian, one giant leap for potty-training progress. Last weekend’s trip to Fawn Island started with us packing up quickly, scooting out the […]
Let it be known that last week, not only did Ian use the child potty again, but he USED the child potty. By which I mean, rather than simply christen it with a sprinkle and a dash, he peed at least one diaper-full like nobody’s business. And yet again, this morning, after I dressed him […]
