Mini-Movie I: The Second Boo

This is a really short video that goes to show you that sometimes the second boo can be more surprising. Turn up your volume and listen carefully! (When the video says to hit play, do so!) Click here to view this short video!

Sunday Best Part III

Hi again everybody, here’s some additional Sunday outfit pictures to enjoy. Observations/stories: • Well, well, well… it seems our sweet innocent little boy has been pulling a fun prank at daycare! We got a note the other day about our “ian’s pickpocketing” and of course immediately needed to know the details. It turns out Ian […]

Sunday 2nd Best

Normally I’d say his outfit below is a tie with the other one, but the truth is, my camera is messing up a bit so the pictures don’t look as good. Thus, second best! Observations: • About three days ago Ian drank from a drink-box of milk, using a straw. A normal, standard-issue straw. • […]

Fly Shoes Don’t Bother Me

About a week ago Ian in a pair of sneakers turned into a rag doll, more or less. He’d flop over like his bones had turned to rubber. Yesterday I put him in his sneakers again and let him walk around a bit. He made it only a couple steps and then fell again, but […]

Book Smarts

Observations: • Twice now we’ve seen Ian return a book to the book-bin that is in our living room. We never taught or asked him to do this. • Tonight I quoted a line from a book that Ian’s read, as part of a joke. [For my own future reference, the line was “Try the […]

Tooth or Consequences

Ian’s not a happy camper at the moment. He’s got one heck of a head/chest cold and on top of that has a tooth coming in that is really taking its time, pushing through those gums one painful micron at a time. Those things appear to be related from casual observation… new tooth means new […]

Now and Then

Ian’s hand-eye coordination continues to astound. I’ll share a video at some point that shows him combining different toys together in ways you didn’t think a one-year-old could manage, I’m guessing. We had a recent doctor visit… he’s not quite up the weight he should be, but otherwise he’s fine. No signs of ear infection, […]

Sunday Best

Below are some pics of Ian in some pretty sweet church clothes! Here’s some general updates/stories as well: • Since his birthday, Ian has been facing forward in his car seat(s). • He’s also been trying some table food. • One of the pics below shows Ian lying on the floor. It is hard to […]

Birthday Boy!

Everyday Story: There are times when something happens, we don’t get it on film or tape, and this turns out to be the best way to note it. Today Ian and I were sitting in the living room. I said “Are you hungry?” He stood up, stepped up on my legs, and hooked one arm […]

Three Hundred and Sixty-Five Days

Here is a picture for each of the 12 months (plus a month before, just for kicks) that has passed since our lil boy was born. It shows how vastly he has changed over the course of his first year on Earth. Ian, if you’re reading this now, this has been the best year of […]
