I thought this was a good photo to show his new dew.

Opening Day of Fishing Season

trout fishing day

Last Saturday was opening fishing day here in WA. Seeing as how Victor and I both love to fish, we went out to Hicks Lake (a very coincidental name) and tried to catch some fish. Now, the plan was to be out on the lake by 6:30 am, but we had some friends over friday night and we didn't get to bed until 2:30 am. We didn't get out on the lake until 11:30 am... Even though we got out there late and the fish weren't biting, it was a nice day to just relax on the lake and soak up the sun. Our friend David Rummel came out with us and he got 2 fish on, but they both got away. Victor took his bob off and started casting and reeled in a 2 lb trout! Sadly, that was the only catch of the day. Victor had 2 more fish on, but they both got away. (I didn't even get a bite!) Ian was really good during our 4-5 hrs on the boat. He slept the whole last half. If you notice in all of his many face shots, he got a haircut! Yup, I cut off the combover! No more Donald Trump hair... These days he's sportin' the faux hawk!

His First Giggle

On Wednesday Ian giggled for the first time! Well, technically he has laughed once before, but it was in his sleep. This time he was wide awake and it was completely adorable. I was tickling his legs and talking to him and he was laughing away. He did it about 3 times in a row and by the time Victor came in, he wasn't really laughing anymore. I was very sad He didn't get to experience the moment, but I have a feeling there will be many more to come.

Tummy Time

I can't believe what a few minutes of tummy time, a couple times a day does! It seems like Ian has gotten so strong in a matter of days! I get so excited to see his improvements, but it makes me a little sad at the same time to know he's growing up. Yes, he's only 12 weeks old, but even now the time just seems to be flying by...

Getting too strong!

Ian's First Boating Trip

Last Saturday was Ian's first boat trip in the Puget Sound! It was a perfect day for boating, 82 degrees and not a cloud in the sky. To make things even more fun we invited our friend Kelley and her daughter Gabi (Ian's future girlfriend) to join us.

Ian managed to almost sleep through the entire boat trip. He was awake the whole trip from Tacoma to Lacey, the entire time we loaded up the boat, and the whole time we launched the boat. But, as soon as he got his diaper changed, sunscreen and lifejacket on, he passed out. He tried eating the corner of his lifejacket for a minute or two and then he was just too tired to care. So I thought it would be funny to put my sunglasses on him and then we added Gabi's hat turned inside out. It was too funny.

Gabi on the other hand, was wide awake when she had to put her lifejacket on, and she was not liking it. Once she got the chance to figure it out though, she didn't mind and decided to take a nap herself.

We stopped at the sandbar on McMicken Island that comes out at low tide. Then we decided to head back in to the dock. Later, that night we met up with some friends to go bowling and got some cute shots of the future couple. A long and adventurous day for both Ian and Gabi!
