Happy One Month Ian!

Hi All!

Well Ian is now officially one month old!  Its been one crazy but awesome month and Ian has already changed so much in such a short time.

He's been starting to spend more time awake during the day and is starting to notice more about the people and objects around him.  He's started cooing this week (its nice that he has expanded his vocabulary from just crying or not crying) and has started to become more interested in his toys.  He has been playing on his floor mat and especially enjoys kicking a crinkly elephant ear with his feet and staring at himself in the mirror.  He also seems to have a fondness for zebras.  His dad and I also love the fact that he has started mimicking faces (no smiles yet though...).  And David actually got him to sort of dance with him yesterday (well - at least he seemed to be moving his arms and head along with Dave and the music...).

Here are some cute Ian pics:

Just because he looks so cute when he's alseep

Waving to everyone

Ready to go!

Opening his eyes really wide.

Learning how to hold onto his pacifier.

Ooops!  Still haven't quite mastered that skill...

Wrapped up like a burrito!

Sleeping in his swing.

Playing on his play mat.

More play mat fun.

Learning how to use his hands.

Can't wait for another great month and for all the great months and years to come with Ian.

Love Amanda (and Ian - who has been very good about sitting quietly on my lap while I wrote this)
