Hey There! Ok, nobody responded to my last posting asking if anyone still read this blog... although my Mom said she read the entry. So please let me know if you are still interested in the words or was it the pics of Ian that kept you coming back. Well, anyway it's my journal so I have some things of note that I need to have written down. Mainly the developmental leaps of my son. So he is growing teeth like they are weeds. He got his upper outside teeth not too long ago and his right front tooth came in on the fourth of July and tonight I noticed the other front tooth broke through. Four teeth in as many weeks! It made for a couple of rough nights but over all, like all the other things in his life, Ian has taken this in stride.
He is also mobile. As of yesterday he has mastered the art of scooting - backwards. It still gets the job done. I was trying to work on some homework and I look around and he has moved across the room and pulled all of the magazines out of the coffee table and was going to town. I was a little startled! I'm not ready for this. He is also up on all fours but hasn't realized that he needs to move his limbs one at a time. Instead he lunges forward and face plants. It won't be long now. He is still eating like crazy and yesterday he ate his first meal all by himself. He had peas and macaroni, chicken and blueberries for desert. He had too many blueberries if his diaper the next morning is any indication.
Aaron and I (ok, it was me) gave him his first sample of ice cream on Saturday. We created a monster. A little lick of my cone and he would yell and cry until he got some more. Aaron had to take him around the corner from the ice cream stand and distract him while I finished my cone! It was funny, but not too. Anyway the good news is he doesn't appear to be lactose intolerant.
Life is good. The job is good and keeps me busy. The class is progressing and it looks as if I might get my diploma before I start my masters!
Ah! Probably the best news is we rented the house to a couple who are adults, have jobs and most importantly love the house. They may even be renting for a few years. That would give us some breathing room and a chance for the housing market to rebound.
That's it for now. e-
