Pictures of Ian

I haven't posted anything in a while, so I thought I would post a bunch of random photos of Ian. He's growing up so fast and getting such a funny personality. I love him so much! (He's so cute though who couldn't?) Enjoy the photos.

Long Lake with Grandpa

Last Friday it was a whopping ninety five degrees! So, we took the boat out of course! Grandpa was all by himself that day (Grandma was in Texas, Sam was at camp, and Ben was at a friend's house) so, he took the day off work and joined us for some wakeboarding and swimming on Long Lake. He tried wakeboarding for the first time! After a lot of trial runs to get out of the water, he got up on his last run! I wish I got a picture of him doing it, but Ian was falling asleep in my arms so I couldn't get the camera out.
Ian swam in a lake for the first time. I got him a little crab floaty thing and him and I went floating. Here's some pictures from our day.

Our First Night/Day Alone

Victor and I had our first night alone in 6 1/2 months! We actually had a full 24 hours without little Ian. Grandma and Grandpa Danielson (well Uncle Sam and Ben too) watched him for us while we had an overnighter on the boat.
Last Thursday we drove the boat up to Blake Island for his company event. A few of his coworkers came with us for the ride up. When everyone else when back to Seattle, we took to boat and headed up to a cool little Norwegian town everyone was telling us about called Poulsbo. It was a really cute town, with neat little buildings and some really cool bakeries. When we first pulled into the marina there were about 15 seals laying out and almost half of them were little baby seals! I was totally enamored and started snapping tons of photos and Victor pulled up really close. We got about 5 feet away from them! Then we docked the boat went into town and bought sunscreen. We were both already burning and had no sunscreen. Then we roamed the little shops on the strip and got an ice cream waffle cone! mmm... We also got Italian Sodas, that made us a little sick from all the sugar haha.
We headed back to the boat and drove to a little cove on the backside of Bainbridge Island that we had stayed at before and really liked. We anchored down and pulled out our mini BBQ and made some burgers for dinner, played a game of uno (which I won) and then went to sleep for an entire 8 hours of no interruptions! It felt really weird, but awesome, not having to get up once during the night.
The next morning we headed back to Grandma's to pick up our baby boy! We both admitted we missed him, but we still enjoyed every second of our little getaway. Here are some photos of us and the town of Poul

A Game of Peek-a-Boo

Today Ian and I were playing a game of peek-a-boo and he was loving it! He was in his jumperoo and I would pop out from the hallway and he would bounce and screech with a big smile. It was too cute. These are the times I will miss when he's grown up. So today I cherish the moments we had in our fun game of peek-a-boo.
