First Thanksgiving, and a Health Update.

Ian's first Thanksgiving was nice! We went over the river(s) and through the woods to Grandma and Grandpa Bishop's house. Grandma and Grandpa Miller came too. Ian was very well behaved and played and played. He sat in his high chair and ate turkey, sweet potatoes, squash, and green beans. He really liked it all!

We had our Christmas pictures taken on Sunday. We had our family picture taken, a picture of just daddy and Ian, a picture of Ian and Isaac together, and a picture of Ian by himself. The Johnson's were with us and had their family picture taken as well.

Ian went back to the doctor on tuesday for an ear check, and despite all the hoping and praying we did for good news, we didn't get it. Ian now has "severe" double ear infection. (It was just a mild, single ear infection 2 weeks ago.) He is back on antibiotics and is now having a bottle a day of formula to help with tummy issues and diaper rash coming from the strong antibiotics.

Poor guy! It is so sad to see him not feeling well. He also has gone on two nursing strikes in the last week and is biting mama, I'm sure it is because his ears and TEETH are bothering him.

Hopefully he will be all cleared up in another week.

We are going to Columbus for Aunt Dianne's graduation from Nursing School and two days later is Christmas at Grandma and Grandpa Bishop's house. We have a lot of shopping, wrapping, packing, washing, etc. to do before then! I can already tell he is feeling better because he is napping better and seems to be much happier!

We are spending a (hopefully) quiet weekend at home this weekend and then we'll see where the wind blows us!

1/2 Birthday






Kari came to visit us during her leave from the Navy! It was the first time she got to see Ian in person. Last time she visited, she missed Ian's birth by 4 days! (He was overdue, remember!)

We had a nice visit and then shared Ian's 1/2 birthday cake! He was 6 months old yesterday...It is pretty hard to believe!

A Walk In the Park




And we stopped for a swing :)

Ian is getting nearer and nearer to his 6 month birthday! He has started to scoot all over the living room and he is just started babbling, saying, "DADADADADADA & BABABABABA" It is very cute.

He just graduated to a new car seat and seems to be happy as can be! We're just loving, loving, loving our little man :)

5 Month Birthday!





Ian is 5 months old, as of yesterday! His 5 month birthday came and went without me even realizing until about 11pm that it was his day :) We DO have some photos from yesterday in his steelers get-up. I also took his official 5 month photos this morning. He is rolling, laughing, shrieking, teething, and trying new foods! He LOVES grandma's home cooked applesauce and squash from grandpa's garden! He's so darn cute! We're just eating him up!

Enjoy the pictures. Again, comment if you read this, so I know that I should keep posting!!

Ian's First Cereal





Well, after Ian decided to grab my spoon and shove mint chocolate chip ice cream in his mouth (AAAAAHHHHH!) and the OK from the doctor, we let Ian have some rice cereal. He liked it and gobbled it down!

and a youtube video :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srKcLN6nEzA

New Look


Does anyone even read this anymore? If you do, you should comment. Otherwise I am going to give up on it. If there are readers, I will try to post more often.

Ian Rolled over, front to back, last Thursday. He did it once for me. Then on Saturday, he did it twice for roger and I both!

He is grabbing and playing with toys all the time now.

We bought him a bumbo seat!
