Coffee Time or Nap Time?

Sister B took Ivan on a Star.bucks run while real estate agents scoped out our house.

I love that she thinks he always needs his giraffe.

Sleepy Neck Crik Time

When he finally went to sleep, it was in a position HE found comfortable. At least he let Dad put him in his own bed with minimal fuss.




Always a beautiful sleepy baby.

Once Upon a Morning

Waking up.




Morning talks happen before even getting out of bed.







Toes in the air! (There's a song as well.)

Twenty-four Weeks: Three Days with K!

Wednesday, I had Ivan all dressed up because K brought him by my work at 1pm to visit. His jacket reminds me of one my grandpa has.




They obviously love reading books. At home before bedtime, Ivan tries to help me turn pages.




Happy smile.




Probably talking.




Always with his giraffe and happy.




We haven't seen any teeth yet, but he is drooling up a storm. He's very particular with what he chews on though: only Sophie (the giraffe), burp cloths, or froggie. I was surprised that he's sometimes interested in his chilled teethers. Sometimes they make him happy:

Twenty-Three Weeks: At Friends'

K had other plans on Friday, so Ivan spent the day with my friend R and her children V&E. From the photos, I think Ivan had a blast! Right now he loves watching and smiling at older kids - he loves listening to their loud voices sing & shout, so I can only imagine how much he enjoyed V&E!

Naptime went well:




Walking to pick up R's son, E.




And the best part, swinging! Ivan enjoys being outside, so I think he had a great day!




Thank you, R & family, for taking such good care of Ivan all day! He is so lucky to have friends like you guys!

Stoic. Then Happy.

At K's house on Thursday.




Ivan looks way too grown up below. It kills me.




Then I see the follow up photo and think, that's my baby!
