Another milestone

Ian recently graduated to a "big boy" car seat, he was over the height and weight limits on his infant carrier - he is growing and changing so fast, it just made me realize again what precious gifts children and time truly are - sniff sniff
Ian's first time in his new car seat

More new foods

Ok so I don't have any pictures of this night but recently our friends Liz & Derek invited us over for dinner. Liz grilled some beautiful lamb chops and steamed some fresh fava beans, the kind of stuff I would never try as a kid (my taste buds finally matured just like my mom said they would), Ian ate almost an entire chop and at least 5 whole fava beanpods, we may have a foodie in the making...but he still likes a little junk food like good old cheez-it's



Ian really got into the cous cous at dinner a few nights ago...I mean really got into it...but hey that's what bath time is for!


A new way to see the world

We're ready for all kinds of new adventures with Ian's new backpack! We had a great time testing it out and geo-caching at the Arboretum with Besta & Papa, sometimes the best get aways are close to home!





Gandma & Grandpa H came to visit!



Ian was delighted to see that Grandma H knew how to make a funny noise with her lips and fingers too!






Breakfast with Grandpa H




Lunch with Uncle Phil

Stairs

Yep, Ian has figured out the stairs, the cats now have no place to hide and as soon as I figure out how to download from the video camera we'll post Ian's first solo summit of the entire staircase!




Another trip to the zoo

A sunny day and a trip to the zoo with Besta & Papa to see the new flamingo exhibit
