Ian's Attempt Towards Crawling

This video clip was taken at my mom's house on her sofa, and is from October 19th. I know it is at least a month old, but I just didn't know how to get video on here until just recently. Ian used to only be able to do this on soft surfaces (ie: the couch and his bed) but now he does it anytime we set him on his belly, and he trys to get himself in this position from sitting up (which isn't quite graceful but he seems to like it until he wants to sit back up again). It is really cute and fun to watch cause he seems so proud of himself. The last few days he is trying to move himself forward but just face plants it into the floor. He does that a few time then fusses because he is frustrated and probably cause his head hurts. Jared thinks he will be crawling by Thanksgiving, but I'm a little skeptical since Thanksgiving is fastly approaching. I told Jared that he will probably crawl the day after Thanksgiving and he told me that it would just figure. I'm thinking closer towards Christmas. Either way it is really exciting!!

More Halloween Fun!

Along with all the other cute Halloween photos we took of Ian, we also got some of him playing in the leaves. Which was fun for him because all he wanted to do was eat them. Being the drool monster he is (literally) this one leaf just wouldn't leave his face. Jared and I thought it was funny, and Ian didn't seem to mind it being there.

Happy Halloween!!

Happy Halloween to everyone!! Jared and I took some pictures of Ian in his costume, and with his pumpkin. He is sitting up so good, and now is showing signs of crawling. The video of him attempting to crawl will be uploaded soon. Hope everyone enjoys!

Ian is Sitting Up!!

For the last couple of weeks I have been getting on the floor assisting Ian with his sitting up skills. The last few days he has been doing so great on his own that I was able to get a few pictures. He is still unsteady whenever he goes to reach for something, which resulted in his first goose egg on his forehead, but overall he does great!

Ian's First Solid Food

On September 17th, 2008 (the day after his doctors appointment) we decided to try to feed Ian some oatmeal. He struggled with it...and still does sometimes, but overall we think that he did a good job for his first time.
