Grampa Dave and Grandma Marcia (or Grampa Dafe and Gramma Mahshah as Ian is currently pronouncing) arrived perfectly on time on Easter morning, April 12, 2009… but Pastor Riley went a bit long at church, so Ian, Melissa and I ended up being a little late to our own house! This turned out to be […]
A brief pause between Easters… On April 9th the bunnies hid in an elaborate castle. Someday you’ll see video of how quickly Ian destroyed this castle… suffice to say it was faster than the time it took for this image to appear on your screen! See this image larger. A little bleary eyed from dunking […]
I forgot to mention that Ian is truly a fan of eggs since the day o’ coloring. Here’s a quick entry that shows a video taken by Grandma Sue while she was in town… I thought it was cute, and thank her for filming it with he camera. Click here to see the video, it […]
Recent Update: Ian’s colors are getting better… It is neat to hear him call them out without being prompted. And have you heard this kid sing “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star?” I won’t say he gets every phrase right but it is extremely impressive… I’m doing what I can to get it recorded, but as usual […]
And now a special message for Great Grandma Betty on her birthday! Click here to hear the message, it is short and somewhat to the point… because he’s just getting better and better at speaking! An easy download for any connection. Have an awesome day Great Grandma Betty!
Here’s some recent news: On April 21st, Ian counted to eleven… and then started back at eight. If you listen carefully to him doing this, you can tell why he does so… eleven sounds like seven… so he ends up in a loop! 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 8, 9, 10… April 21st was also […]
Guess what today is everybody? Gramma Mawshaw’s b-day! Here’s a recorded message from Ian, weighing in at a half a MB… Hope you have a terrific day today! 🙂
On April 2nd, Grandma Sue landed in Grand Rapids and we settled her into her room for the week. And what a great week it was… it had just the right balance of activity to sitting-around chatting… Ian started off sick but got over it quickly… and there was a lot of fun to be […]
Melissa and I have had to resort to hilarious Oscar-winning performances in order to get Ian to try certain foods these days. It has worked twice now, and goes a little something like this… Ian – (Crying, doesn’t want his food.) Me – Sweetie… I don’t want to try mine either. Melissa – Well, honey […]
Well, I don’t have any audio, but I just wanted to say how awesome Ian has been the last many days… he’s getting smarter by the minute, and it has been breathtaking watching him develop this way. Here’s some stories as best as I can remember them… He pointed at his toes the other day […]
