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 […]
(General update: we all seem to be getting over our various flu issues, Mama more slowly… but we’re pretty sure we’re not contagious anymore! On with the show!) Cue Tonight Show music… See this image larger. Or is this Dancing with the Stars? Great Grandma Betty will be so proud! See this image larger. Kissing […]
Last Tuesday I had it, this whole weekend Ian had it… and now Ian’s Mama is upstairs duking it out with the stomach flu. I’m assuming this will probably have a kind of damper on the lil guy’s b-day. Strongly don’t recommend visiting at this point, I’d have to say, this one’s a bit nasty […]
Today we heard that at daycare our little boy decided he did not want to go to sleep when he was placed in the crib. This happens with us all the time as well, sure… When he realized that nobody was going to get up and do anything about this at daycare however, Ian proceeded […]
More video. Long-ish download time (but about half the size of Part I) Click link, wait, and click play when told to do so. Commentary: Film shot January 5th 2008… What does he do? 1. He stands up without any kind of handhold again. 2. Gives us the “kuh” and “tuh” of cat. 3. Does […]
I have more video to share, with the usual warning about download time. You’ll need to click the link, wait a few minutes, or maybe a whole lot more if your connection is slow. I still haven’t built a proper loader, so you’re not going to see the “progress bar” move at all, sorry. Commentary: […]
Check out Parts I-III below (click “previous entries” to see anything that slips off of the front page!) to see how the earlier bits of our Tour went! Where’d we leave off? Oh yes, after Grandpa Ray drove us 60 miles to Sanford airport, we flew 977 miles to Lansing Airport, where we were met […]
Another quick update: Ian was in rare form this evening. He’s trying his hardest to master walking and mostly succeeding; he’s also trying to mimic the sounds we make and I have to say he’s impressive. When we’re done with the Christmas story, I’ll post a video I took tonight. I’m still smiling from having […]
First a quick update: In the last three days Ian is taking more steps, pivoting on one leg and then moving in a new direction. He’s stopping, squatting down, picking things up and (without touching a thing for support) standing back up and continuing to walk. He still falls to a diaper-deflating stop when he’s […]
Finally back home after a 3,052 mile tour of Michigan and Florida! As usual I’ll try to keep this short and use pictures to tell the story. I’ve narrowed it down to 42 pictures. I know, sorry… I’ll split this up into a bunch of parts to help. But first and foremost we want to […]
