Dad's A Grad!

This last Friday my Dad had his graduation ceremony! He earned his Master's in Business Administration! I am so proud of him! I can hardly believe my Dad has an MBA. He's worked really hard these last three years being a Dad, Husband, Grandpa, student and now finally a graduate! Way to go Dad, I love you so much!

Ian's Rainforest Jumper

New Toy

Here are some new photos. Yay! These are of Ian playing around in his rainforest jumper Grandma and Grandpa Whittaker got him. He'll last a little while by himself playing around, but then he tends to get mad and want out. He has quite the cute facial expressions in some of these. He's really starting to do some quirky stuff and develop his little personality. It's crazy where the time goes!

Poor Ian...

So I don't have any pictures to post yet, but I borrowed my mom's camera and have been taking pictures. I just neglected to get the computer cord that puts the photos on my computer. They will be here soon I promise!

This last week was a rough one for Ian though... About 2-3 weeks ago I started solid foods with him. He's had sweet potatoes, squash, a little bananas (that's where it all went wrong), green beans and prunes! I've also been making his food which is kinda neat and makes me rest at ease knowing there's not a drop of preservatives in this stuff. Well, I gave him an ounce of bananas one day and another ounce the next day and I noticed his pooping pattern came to a halt, so I layed off the bananas. By that time it was too late. He had some major constipation. He worked and grunted and cried so hard and nothing would hardly come out. So we introduced prunes to help flush out his back up... and a couple days later we had success! Poor guy had a miserable week, but we're past it now and poop all sorts of smelly stuff again. (yay)

We also went on our first mini camping trip with Victor's parents to Eastern Washington a couple weeks ago. Ian went in a pool for his first time too! I'll get the photos on here soon!

M.I.A.

Sorry I haven't posted anything in a while, but my camera seems to have gone missing! When Becky was in town I took it with me when we went to seattle, we didn't use it and since then I haven't been able to find it! Which I really hope it didn't get lost in Seattle somewhere because it had the only good photo's of Ian's Dedication on it! So I am trying my hardest to locate it and will put those photos up when I find it. (hopefully)

Rice Cereal

Big Boy Food

Last night was my first attempt at giving Ian some rice cereal. Ian's Doctor suggested I try and give him some rice cereal at his night time feeding to help him sleep through the night longer, since he seems to need to eat every 3-4 hrs still. As where he used to go 5-6 hrs at night. Because He was born so big He's probably going to start needing some solids sooner. I think he only got 1/4 - 1/2 of the small serving I made him. The other 1/2 + was on his bib and face. It was definitely funny to watch his face scrunch up the first time he had it in his mouth.

Froggy Talk

Photo and video editing at www.OneTrueMedia.com

Ian is very communicative to his frog in this video. As you can see he's very good at getting to his side and he's so close to being able to grab things! Shortly after shutting my camera off he rolled from his back to his tummy for the first time!! He always seems to perform after I shut the camera off! Well, I just thought this was too cute not to share.

Motherhood

I could try to explain this picture, but trust me you wouldn't have time to read my post. This sums up motherhood for me. My mom at my side the moment I became a mom. I don't think it gets more beautiful than that.
