Sorry it has taken me a bit for the Christmas update. That’s happening shortly. In the meanwhile I upgraded this “software” to its latest version. I now have the ability to back-up the database that ian’s blog is kept on. Very important should something bad ever happen; this is what I would call our main […]
Too many words in the last entry… must be time for another bath! Sink too small, tub too large? Send in the duck. See this image larger. “Whazzat mama? EEEP!” Check this one out larger… cuuuuute. “HEYYY.” See this image larger. “Gimme.” (Really he was pointing. He loves pointing now. He said something that sounded […]
We’ve been at it for weeks now. Surfing the internet, visiting with doctors, specialists, and chiropractors… reading magazines, books, listening to family members… I have to say this has been the hardest thing to deal with so far. Do you get the tubes or not when your son (or daughter) has repeat ear infections? I […]
I wanted to take a quick time-out to thank Ray, Barb, Ben, Mel, Connor and Kaylee for putting up with our middle-of-the-night antics and early departure in regards to sick lil Ian. I think Melissa and I have a lot of sleep to catch up on, and I’m hoping that everybody had fun none-the-less. I […]
This post will soon contian some great holiday photos from our Thanksgiving outing to see the Johnson/Kunze side of the family. As awesome as it was to see them and share some turkey and conversation, the overall trip could have gone much better than it did. The Sunday evening prior to Thanksgiving it started with […]
The words Mama, Dada, Kee (kitty), Ight (light), and ilk (milk) is what we have so far. There’s a host of things he’s also said but this is the list where both parents were present, looked at each other and nodded in agreement that something was said. These are also some of the more obvious […]
Melissa and I were playing with Ian shortly after daycare today at around 6:30pm. I wiggled “mooseyfriend” (the moose bean-bag toy Grandpa Ray and Grandma Barb got Ian awhile ago) in front and above Ian about two feet away. He’s stood without any help in the past, so the fact that he was standing, arms […]
I’ll be honest, it was miserable! Cold, wet, and rainy, we did our best to get Ian to a few neighbors’ houses, and sprinted home as fast as legs and stroller wheels could take us! Better luck next year! That said, when we got home, it was all smiles again… we even had a gorgeous […]
Thanks to Grandma Marcia and Grandpa Dave for transporting the custom-built swing across Canadian lines and delivering it to our door! His face lit right up when he saw that, after all, he’s too big for the older swing we got for him! Well, he managed to bite his own gum pretty good the other […]
Ian fell over on a little toy bin that we have in his “safe” area today and really gave himself a good black eye. He cried for a few moments and immediately went back to doing baby stuff, but it was definitely a wake-up call for Mama and Papa. I always wondered how I’d react […]
