We took a quick Saturday trip over to the east side of Michigan to see Grandma Marcia for her birthday, a couple days early. We had a wonderful meal and had a lot of fun. Here’s some pics to tell more of the story:
“Little man” isn’t too far from the truth, either. Just look at him! Looks pretty confident in his walk, wouldn’t you say? See this image larger.
Grandpa Dave “was delighted to buy Ian presents for Marcia’s birthday.” Look, you and I know that doesn’t make sense, but you can tell it makes sense to Grandpa Dave when he says it. 😉 See this image larger.
The lattice-work you see there on the railing was a new addition, meant to keep “junior” from taking a head-first dive into the basement. Thanks Grandpa Dave!See this image larger.
The lyrics that they don’t tell you about in that song until after you’re a parent: If you’re teething and you know it, drool and cry… See this image larger.

• Although two of the molars were part way through previous to the beginning of the measured time-period, in the last three and a half weeks Ian has popped five teeth. I could take video or pictures and put them up here, but to be honest when he’s in pain I find it hard to snap away pics or hide behind a video camera.
• One of my buddies online reminded me the other day by telling me “you got your wish…” Apparently at some point I told him that I’d gladly take Ian’s ear problems as my very own if it eased the little guy’s pain… plus I could explain my problem to a doctor, whereas getting Ian to explain his issues is a little more difficult. Anyway, so like he said, I got my wish. I’ve had some really interesting times recently, hearing my own blood pulsing through my eardrum, increased pain, one night in particular the room would spin whenever I laid down, etc. Went to an ENT specialist and it sounds like things are fine for the most part. I have another appointment in a week.
• Ian has a brand new habit of getting an entire mouth full of milk and then allowing it all to drain out onto his bib, or shirt, or whatever.
• Everybody in the house has had very little sleep the last many nights, apparently I’ve gotten the most out of all of us but had no idea, seeing as I was asleep.
• We got a letter from daycare last week saying that Ian will be moving up to the Newbie class. There will be no graduation ceremony for this particular move.

This is from a Saturday night bath this last weekend… Are these all starting to look the same? Let me know if there gets to be too many bath shots!
Hey, hey, this bathing thing is serious business, kid. You stop looking like you’re having so much fun, immediately! 😉 See this image larger.
Show everybody what you looked like with a fat lip the other night, lil man. See this image larger.
Mama gets something resembling that little DQ ice cream swirl in Ian’s hair with a quick twist of the finger. See this image larger.
“Woohoo! Bathtime Dada! High five!” (That’s not what this actually is a picture of, but you should see this kid high five now. Or clap for that matter.) See this image larger.
