He’s been steadily heading in this direction, but this morning was another one of those “wake up and he’s learned something new” moments. I know I’ve said before that we’re having conversations with Ian, but now it feels like having conversations with somebody who is reasoning and stringing complete thoughts together. I guess it is […]
Alright, finally… we’re in March and pretty much all caught up! Finally got a chance to test out my back-up procedures for the high-definition video files from my new video camera and things appear to be a-ok. As a business, my company is looking into buying a blu-ray burner for archiving purposes, burning 25 – […]
So this final February 2009 blog entry should bring us all up-to-date…. like usual, first we’ll do the news and then the flashback. News: Ian continues to do well with the big boy bed. A bit of serious news: Levi Schoenborn is struggling — but appears to be stable with — RSV at the moment, […]
Just a quick entry tonight, Melissa pulled the crib mattress out of the crib and set it on the floor, to do a sort of “big boy bed” trial. I have a feeling it’ll be back in the crib before the end of the night, but we’ll see, he’s always full of surprises! EDIT – […]
News: Today was just a brilliant day, particularly compared to the weekend. Ian has been sick again and I think it was at its worst on Sunday, and it affected his mood poorly. Today he was feeling better, and maybe we just were in the mood to have fun on our Monday together. We got […]
News: Today, March first, Ian was in misbehave mode. He was mostly looking to cause a mess and chaos. He keeps saying things that I don’t expect. I keep thinking “where’d he pick that up?” Chances are most of it is from us or daycare, of course. As a parent I feel blown away by […]
News: He’s crazily independent already, insisting on walking through the garage on his own… and doing things like walking up the stairs and counting them as he walks; because he simply wants to. In the car last night he began naming off animals and the sounds they make. Let me stress the difference: Nobody was […]
News: So I guess the other day Melissa brought Ian into daycare early. Ian was there with another boy, and the two of them got out all of the toys. Well as the other kids began to filter in, Ian was not very good at sharing, and apparently there was a lot of “MINE!!!!” going […]
News: Ian is 35 inches tall… that’s almost 3 feet. Which is nuts. When did that happen? Still catching up: Alright so if you haven’t seen this yet, you probably read about it a few entries ago. This is a very large video, weighing in at 4.7 MB, so it is pretty big, but prepare […]
Let’s talk about toys! Grampa Dave hand-cut a few shapes for Ian to play with, a three-dimensional square (not quite a cube) and an extruded circle, during our visit on February 14th. On Monday of this week Ian was delighted to get a package containing the third shape, a triangle. Needless to say we’ve heard […]
