Ian's first Thanksgiving

Ian's first Thanksgiving was perfect. We went down to Corsicana to Jason's mom and stepdad's house for lunch. We ate tons of great food, watched the Cowboys game and threw the football around. Jason's dad, stepmom and brother came by too.

More firsts!

Ian's becoming more and more alert. He's sitting up more on his own and attempting to eat big boy foods. When I say attempt, I mean we are working on him not spitting up everybit of it. He's only napping once a day...sometimes twice if we're lucky. He's still sleeping all night but fighting going to sleep. Jason and I are so thankful to have a sweet baby like Ian. He's the best baby ever and we are enjoying every single moment with him.


Yum...sweet potatos

Jason brought Ian to come visit me at work on day last week. He looks pretty good in my chair. He's a great listener.

Just some videos so you can see just how big Ian is getting.

He loves his puppy

My mom watches Ian 3 days a week and sends me videos of him so I can see how much fun they have every day. Here's one from last week.

5 Months!

Ian turned 5 months yesterday! Time sure has flown by. He's such a sweet baby though. He likes to talk and play. He's getting better at holding his toys. We're still working on eating cereal. He still doesn't like it, but he likes to hold a spoon and put the spoon in his mouth. We're putting him in his highchair during dinner so he can get used to seeing us eat.

He's still a chunky monkey and probably is pushing 2o pounds. He sleeps from about 8:30pm to about 7:30am and takes 2 naps during the day. He likes his stroller now so we've been taking walks and going to the outdoor mall to get some fresh air. He loves bathtime and is starting to splash with his arms and legs. He can sit up with minimal support for short periods of time. He's learning how strong his legs are by standing up in our laps with some support and using his jumper to play. He's wearing 12 month clothes (some 18 mo stuff too) and a size 4 diaper. His eyes are still a shade of blue and his hair is starting to fill in and is light brown and wavy. Overall, he's a very happy and laid back baby.
