This morning Ian’s new cousin appeared in the world! Welcome Kaylee Ann Kunze, who arrived at 8:32 am at 7lbs even and 20 1/2″ long. Sounds like Ian’s first major road trip is in order!
Heartfelt congratulations to Melanie and Ben; and her big brother Connor as well!
Here’s a pic!
The other day was Ian’s month old check-up. As you may recall, nurses were pretty happy with his two week check-up, where he had bounced back up to 9lbs and 6oz from his 9lb 3oz birthweight… and we all laughed that somebody must have screwed up his measurement at the hospital for him to have grown an inch (from 21″ to 22″) in two weeks. Well… there’s not much I put past this kid anymore. At the one month mark we’d be worried that his 95th percentile weight (11 lbs 3oz) might not be healthy if it weren’t for his 97th percentile height of 23 1/2″!!! He’s growing like a weed!
He’s making new noises, which I’ve recorded for you here. Hit “play” below to hear what Ian’s got to say these days.

Finally, here’s a couple of photos! These were taken AGAIN in the bouncy seat, this time with the added fun of a mobile.
One interesting thing about being new parent is that some pretty average activities become more exciting when you factor in that they are among your child’s first experiences.
For instance, our first non-medical outing as a complete family happened on Monday night… we went to Babies R’ Us, the mall and to a sit-down restaurant. Ian slept and/or quietly looked around through the whole thing.
Ian’s first holiday (aside from his birthday) was Valentine’s Day.
Here’s Ian’s first sit-in-a-puddle-of-water-style bath. We’ve pushed a washcloth around on him a bit in the past, but this seems a bit more official somehow.
Ian is also officially a person according to the US Government… he received his social security number on Wednesday.
Finally, just the other day the little stub of gauze finally fell off of Ian’s belly button.
Howdy Cuz!
