March Wrap Up!

Finally, some pictures! Waaaay back on March 23, Ian attempts his best mobster face. “You laughin’ at me? I’m funny to you? Some kinda joke?” See this image larger. And sometimes he’s still a little angel… what could give him such peace? See this image larger. Yep. See this image larger. Goofball. See this image […]

Awesome Audio

I’m going to break the continuity here again to get this out there for all to hear. It’s an audio clip recorded on April 6th during Grandma Sue’s visit, while we were eating dinner. As usual, be prepared for the volume to be all over the place, sometimes too loud, sometimes too quiet. Here’s what […]

Lots to Say

He’s a communicator these days. Example? Melissa and I used to name a list of things, when he seemed to want more of something but couldn’t tell us what. Now we offer up a guess and he says “No, want bed.” (Which is actually bread; he’s working on that part, yet.) Ian speaks to us […]

More Little Stories

Ok the first one isn’t little so much as important. A couple days ago Levi Schoenborn was finally allowed to leave the hospital, having recovered for the most part from RSV. I can’t imagine what it was like being away from home for so long, and not being able to hold your child for so […]

Baby Zooey

Just adding this because it made Melissa and I giggle. Mommy upgraded Ian to “big boy” zooeys… they’re kind of flat and don’t allow him to get suction so much as something to grind on… Ian awoke about five minutes after being put down tonight, handed me his “big boy” zooey and said “baby zooey.” […]

More Fun and Games

Today is Saturday March 21st… and spring begins from a chronological point of view, but we woke up to a light coat of snow over everything. At the moment Ian is upstairs doing this kind of warbling mumble that he sometimes croons before taking a nap or going to bed. Seth is asleep on the […]

In a Pickle

I think a dislike of pickles (particularly on cheeseburgers) permeates my side of the family as far back as I know… except that I like them sometimes. Hopefully there hasn’t been any talk of being kicked out of the Chapman clan because of my partial enjoyment of them, BECAUSE IAN LOVES PICKLES. He loves them […]

I Want to Ride my Tricycle… I Want to Ride my Trike…

Sunday March 15th, Ian got his first Tricycle. The moment his butt touched the seat he got older again; he looks cool though, doesn’t he? The day after this shot, Ian and I walked away from his trike and up the sidewalk for a bit… I turned around and pointed at it. “See that? You […]

Happy Birthday Grampa Dafe!

I was a bad son and didn’t call tonight, my apologies… but here’s a special message for Grampa Dafe on his birthday! Click here to hear Ian wishing Grampa Dafe… a happy… I think he says birthday… He at least says “Hi Grampa!” at one point 😉

Ready!

I don’t have much of an update, mostly because I haven’t had much of anything to record video or audio-wise… and no real photo opportunities have presented themselves (at least none that I was prepared for.) If I haven’t mentioned it, a week or so ago Melissa swept her finger across Ian’s gums and found […]
