Sitting Up

I know this is my third post today, but so much has happened this week. I thought I would show how Ian is mastering the skill of sitting up by himself. He still tumbles here and there, but for the most part he is sitting up by himself. Crazy where the time goes!

Baby BBQ and Poo!

So Sunday we had a BBQ with some friends of ours. It was going to be a family/baby BBQ, but we invited a couple other friends to join as well. Ian's girlfriend Gabi came and his other friend Sabina. We took a bunch of photos of them and hand a blast just hanging out with our kids.

Baby BBQ

A highlight (as some might say) of the BBQ happened while I was changing Ian's diaper. I was changing Ian and folded his dirty diaper underneath him. I was waiting a few minutes to see if he was going to go any more poo poo. As he was laying there I was filming Gabi smacking her lips together. Ian was kicking my leg and as I looked down there was poop everywhere! He had silently finished his job and then smeared it all over his legs and my pants!!! As I was freaking out and laughing, Kelley grabbed the camera and started recording... It's too funny not to share lol.

Rolling, Rolling, and More Rolling...

I recorded Ian a few days ago rolling back and forth in the living room and LOVE the video. He was acting so silly with his facial expressions and totally showing off for the camera (for once). He also pushes himself up with straight arms a few times. Enjoy!

Walking the Trails

Walk w/ Gma Gpa

While Victor and I went out for our Anniversary last night, Ian was walking on the trails with Grandma and Grandpa Danielson. Here's a few photos and a video of Ian talking away. They had a good time (and so did we on our date!).

Our First Anniversary!

Today Victor and I have been married a year! What a first year of marriage it has been. Welcoming our son into the world on Victor's Birthday and watching him grow (nonstop) these past six months!

Putting a child into the mix of your first year of marriage is not the easiest thing to do. Instead of the focus being on us, it's all about our child. Which, in your first year of being married and living together, comes as a huge change! Having God in the center makes all the difference. But, what a wonderful change it has been to watch our beautiful baby boy growing up before our eyes!

I am so blessed to be married to Victor! He is everything I could have prayed for in a husband and more. He is an amazing provider for our family and the best Father to Ian! I am excited to watch our marriage grow in the upcoming years and have many more wonderful Anniversary's!

A Picture Says 1,000 Words

This is one of the most precious moments I've caught on camera with Ian and his Granddpa Whittaker. It's one of those photos I'll always look back at and remember the moment I took it and how sweet Ian was being with his Grandpa. I'll probably look back at it and cry. It almost makes me cry now. This was just to special not to share with everyone.

Having Fun

Here's video of Ian jumping around in his jumperoo and rolling over. It seems like he's doing something new or getting better at something everyday! For some reason the frame is Erin and Kate when they came to visit last year... I tried to fix it, but I must be computer illiterate.

Ian's 6 Month Doctor Visit

Thursday Ian went in to the Doctor for his 6 Month visit. He weighs 16 lbs and 12 oz and is 26 inches long! Where has the time gone??

He's getting quite the personality. I can tell now when he throws a mini tantrum when he's not getting what he wants. It's cute sometimes and not so cute at other times. I am in so much trouble when he gets mobile! He's such a squirmer and wiggler now and he can hardly even sit up. He's going to be into everything!

Well I thought I would post a bunch of my favorite random photos of Ian from the past month or so. Enjoy!

Favorite of Ian

Mom's Birthday Gift

I edited this photo of my mom discovering that her Birthday gift is a concert ticket to go see her favorite singer of all times, Randy Travis! She's always loved his voice, so she's very excited to go see him for the first time in concert. haha I just had too much fun with the editing...

Hot Summer Days

Ian and I went to a picnic/party for my friend Liana up at a park in Seattle on Sunday. It was 90 degrees and there were three babies there including Ian. My friend Kelley brought an inflatable ducky tub that we used as a little pool to keep them cool. Her daughter Gabi and Ian were having a good time in the pool. Except, Ian kept trying to take any toy that Gabi would pick up. I hope this isn't a sign that he will be one of those children that always wants the toy the other kid has.

Well, after three hours of being up Gabi and Ian both passed out at the same time. So we laid them down in the shade and of course saw the "kodak moment" and took a picture of them. It was very cute. They both did so good for such a long and hot day! Summer has officially arrived here in WA and I can't wait to keep enjoying it!
