Pictures from January

Finally a picture that captures Ivan's eye color. It changes a lot depending on his mood and sometimes by what he is wearing. We are still calling it green, but at times it almost looks like a steely grey or a dark olive color.


Hanging out with little cousin Sophie and Aunt Stephanie and Uncle Greg.



HAPPY BABY!




Hands are so cool and useful! Ivan has really progressed this month at using his hands, as well as taste testing everything.






Ivan hates wearing hats, so this picture was taken 2 seconds after putting it on him at a time he was already really happy. Seconds after this picture was taken, he was very mad until the hat came off. Thankfully he went back to happy and "talking" to mommy. That's what he is doing in the picture below. :)

This month 2-year old cousin Isabel came over a few afternoons to hang out with Ivan. Above is a picture of her right after she got her first haircut. She is super cute and did a great job playing with Ivan.



Ivan and Anne have made a few new friends! Thanks to our mutual friend, Rachel Mark, we have met Ann and baby Cecilia. Ann is a stay-at-home mom, and it's been nice to have fun play dates with them! We are even going to start doing some cooking together.

Videos from January


1/9/08 - Ivan is laughing out loud! This is the best video we have of it so far. He keeps getting camera shy.




1/14/08 - Ivan is playing with his hanging floor toy. You can see that he is starting to use his hands and arms a lot more, and this toy will usually entertain him for 20 - 30 minutes.

Videos from December



12/5/07 - Tom placed Ivan down on his back in our living room. When Anne had came downstairs Ivan had rolled up on his side and was making grunting noises. You can see him relax back to a deep sleep in this video. (PS ~ He hasn't done this since!)

Also on 12/5/07, we were listening to Christmas music while hanging out with Ivan. Ivan was super relaxed and Tom started "dancing" with him to the music. It was a great baby workout!

Three Months Old


We forgot to take the laying down picture before we put his PJ's on! He is now 13 lbs. That means he has more than doubled his birth weight in three months. We measured him at 25 inches long the other night, which is 7 more inches than when he was born.
