It seems like only yesterday…

Apologies for the lack of updates lately. Here’s a few kind words and then some photos…

Ian did go to the doctor’s office last week, and while the doctor is pretty sure the initial measurement may have been in error, he’s now 22″ long; which means Doc’s either right about the error, or the kid has grown an inch in two weeks. If this is true we may change his name to Iansquatch (terrifying image below) as at this rate he’d likely be 8′ 10″ by the age of 12. He’s also 9lbs 6oz, which means he’s gaining weight at a healthy rate.

And that’s the news, believe it or not. Not much new to report. Uncle Chris’s visit is on the horizon, and we must take many pics! Speaking of which, say is that an IM from Grandpa Dave asking for more pics? How can I refuse?

Let’s start with some that I should have had up awhile ago, of Uncle Ben, Aunt Melanie, and Cousin Connor’s visit (which coincided with Grandpa Ray, Grandma Barb, and Grandma Sue’s visit.)

You’ll be seeing these folks again real soon, Ian… a new cousin on the way!

Grandparents Ray and Barb show off their grandson collection!

Ian says, “Again, you put the ‘papa’ in ‘paparazzi.'”

If this looks like a strained situation, imagine after the camera shutter clicked. (A book I read mentioned that high contrast black and white objects about 8-12″ away from a baby’s nose would be of interest to him. I guess Seth already knew that.)

The write-your-own caption judges would have accepted “Look ma, no hands” or “Nothin’ up my sleeve, PRESTO!”

I think folks sometimes say “awww” because words just don’t work.

“SKREEEONK!!!!” Oh my God!!! IANSQUATCH!!! RUUUUUUNNN!!!!
