Life with Ian

Ian can be shy of strangers but ran right up to grandma on Ella's birthday.

Ella snapped Ian into his carseat and apparently he had no problem with it. I just walked into the room with him sitting nonchalantly in his carseat with a couple toys in his hand. Ella had run to hide behind the big chair. At least Ian doesn't suffer from lack of attention or boredom around here!



Ian was giggling so cute with Kimball I had to take a bunch of pictures of them. He buries his head in your shoulder when he gets shy.


Ian is turning into quite a little monkey. When he isn't climbing on something, he's emptying drawers or grabbing things off of shelves. He loves to sit on the bed when the kids are jumping on them and giggles as he gets bounced. He also still sucks his two middle fingers which comes in handy when he inevitably gets owies.

He is basically a very busy little rascal, but one benefit to him expending all this energy is that he sleeps hard. He takes long afternoon naps and sleeps a good 12 hours at night (though not always straight through the night). And he seems to really enjoy the coziness and comfort of the basement apartment. I welcome the relief for as well!
