Almost a year...

A quick note from Ian's mom-
A year ago I was past my due date, waiting to meet little Ian James. It is amazing how much my life has changed this year. I had no idea how much I would learn about patience and love or any of the other amazing changes he would bring to my life. In front of my eyes Ian is turning from a tiny baby to a little boy and we are so excited about the year to come!

THIS Big!!

Peace offering

My mom and my grandma Julie don't agree on politics at all.
After a big fight about the election and a promise not to speak so passionately to each other about the topic anymore, my grandma sent a bit of a peace offering.
I love it!

Eye Doctor

I went to the eye doctor today. I had lots of fun in the waiting room. I played with mommy, then I met a new friend Emma, she is two. She kept patting my head and saying "you're so silly, baby"

Then it was time to go into Dr. Simon. She was really nice and had some cool toys. Then she put some drops in my eyes and let me go out to the waiting room and play a little longer. This time I played with daddy!

When we went back in to see Dr. Simon she told my parents I need to get a 'procedure' done soon to clear up my tear ducts.
Its not a real serious surgery but they are going to "put me under" for it.

starting to walk....

Before long I will be walking. Tonight I took six steps before falling down several times and I stood up by myself while playing.

Do you think I will walk by my birthday?

Happy Birthday Jordan!

My friend Jordan turned 3 and had a princess party...Even Cinderella showed up!

Jenna was there too...
We played ball
You can hardly tell in these dark pictures...but I had a great time just sitting back and watching the party!

I think Jordan had a great birthday!
