Hi all! Just wanted to give you a quick update after the doctor’s appointment, and throw some pictures your way as well.
The appointment went well, things still looking pretty normal. We got the results back from a test as well; let me explain it in very simple terms — it looks for red flags. It found no red flags. So we’re in about the same shape as any other set of parents at this point. Heartbeat was down in the 135 range — Dr. Jill told us that slower is supposed to mean a boy; which is the opposite of what somebody else told us. Whatever! Ultrasound next week, on Wednesday, I’ll give another update at that point, and post some pics if possible.
On to Ian news, and the weather. Ian enjoys his new “big boy” sized mattress. He’s still only about 6 inches off the ground, however, just a mattress right on the carpet. Picture taken on the 31st of July. See this image larger.
The fourth of August and Mommy gives Ian another bath. It would be funny to see all of his bathtub pics in one spot, now that I think about it. See this image larger.

News slowed down this last week a little bit. I’m making myself a to-do list of things to write about at this point, just in case, but Ian hasn’t really done much “blog-worthy.”
We’re doing another cottage trip this weekend, so I’m going to try to squeeze an update or two in before we leave on Friday. (Also doctor’s appointment on Friday, FYI, to listen in on Bun#2.)
Incoming:
• More Bath-Time Pics
• Sleepin’ on a Big Boy Bed!
• Video of 2nd Trip to Playworld
• Video of Dramatic Ian
• Video of Ian Singing/Drumming
I see now that it isn’t a lack of things that have happened so much as a lack of effort on my part getting these things on the blog!!! I guess I better get my butt in gear!
Ian continues to astound with his growing vocabulary!
Ian – (Watching Daddy vacuum for a moment) “Clean the floor and pick-up dirt!”
Me – “That’s pretty impressive, kiddo, you’re very smart, you know?”
Ian – “I know, Daddy.”
Me – “That’s even MORE impressive.”
We were singing a number of songs, which we got on video, hopefully on the site here in a couple of days. At the end of each song I’d say “What’s another song?” and Melissa would name a song, and we’d sing it. Later, Ian started singing again, and got to the end of the song… but did not get the same response from us; so he helped me fill it in:
Ian – “Ask me ‘whas anudder song!'”
Me – “What’s another song?”
Ian – “How ’bout ‘Row Your Boat?'” (begins singing)
I’ve got another video where Ian talks to the “baby” in my fat belly, just to be funny. But he did also talk to the real baby in Melissa’s belly…
Ian – “Thar’s the baby. That’s my bwotha in thar.” (No we don’t know the sex of the baby yet…)
Ian – “Bwotha or sister, I wanna boy.” (There was a point where Ian would repeat back whatever the second part of any choice… so if you said “Boy or girl?” He’d say “Girl.” If you said “Girl or boy?” He’d say “Boy.” But I think he’s leaning toward wanting a little brother these days… well, that or he knows in a way that modern medicine cannot. Hey, weird things happen.)
I’m working on DVD4… after my first round of edits it is over 2 hours long. The DVD’s I’ve made so far averaged about 40 minutes in length. To be fair, DVD4 covers Thanksgiving, Halloween, Christmas and Ian’s first birthday, so there’s a million pictures and lots of video footage to contend with.
