We’ve caught some smiles before from Ian, but most of them were related to gas and a lucky shutter click. Melissa confirmed with me today that as we were making goofy faces today near the upstairs bathroom, at around 12:20pm, Ian smiled real smiles. It was awesome. We’ll share with you soon!
The weekend before last was our trip to go meet Kaylee! The three of us made it down to Ohio in about 6.5 hours with almost no fidgeting at all! The only crying happened when we stopped to eat, and it was very much within reason. On the way back Ian did quite well, only getting upset in the last hour of the trip. Think about it… that’s 13 hours in 1 weekend… for a 7 week old, that’s pretty good.
There were a few awesome photo opportunities — some of which may look a bit alike, but I couldn’t help myself!
Ian – “Alright, I’m ready, let’s DO this!” (print version)
Ian – “Pfft, dad’s gotta pack the car still?” (print version)
Sorry about being a bit behind… I’ve already got St Patrick’s Day pics all lined up… See you in a couple days!

Ian is more awake, alive and alert than ever, making weird noises and looking around him so much these days. If you haven’t seen him lately, don’t be surprised if he’s a little more of a “person” than when you saw him last! I saw him change in the course of a day. Just crazy!
Dad and Marcia came to visit us on the weekend of the fifth and we had a great time! This time we took all kinds of pictures, and some of the best of them are here:
I like that two finger wave over there “hey, granny, w’s’up?!” (print version)
Seth takes advantage of Grandpa Dave’s generosity, here. Why the cat wants to go outside only to freeze his buns off and go back in the house, I have no idea. (print version)
And two happy parents and that same snoozer. We call him our “sleepybird” because of a character in a series called Pocoyo. Not available in the States, but you should check it out. The only TV show for kids that has ever dropped my jaw in its greatness. (print version)
I want to take a time out to thank everybody for their awesome generosity. You’ve all been very nice, and we’re thrilled to have such great support. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
