Time with Uncle Jon

Sleep and then play...we think Ian and Uncle Jon are going to get along great for years to come!

Schleicher generations

Do you think Ian looks like Grandpa and Grandma Schleicher?

Time with Grandpa & Grandma Schleicher

Ian loves the quilt that Grandma Schleicher made for him. You definitely can't tell that this is the first quilt Grandma has ever made ... it's beautiful!

Grandma and Grandpa Schleicher hit the ground running with helping us out. In addition to making meals, grocery shopping, yard work, and laundry, they love holding Ian. Here, Grandma Schleicher is perfecting the techinque of burping our little "limp noodle." :)

Grandpa gets in some exercise with Ian along for the ride.

An after church pose ...

Two Weeks Old

Hi! It's Ian here. I'm now officially two weeks old. At my two week appointment, the doctor said I now weigh 9 lb. 7 oz. and am 22 inches long. Mommy and Daddy seemed really happy and proud that I've gained a whole pound and grown a whole inch.

We made it through our second church service! Daddy held me most of the time, and I did a good job of staying quiet!

Some of Ian's firsts

Daddy gives Ian his first science lecture (note the periodic table t-shirt Daddy's wearing). Let's just say Ian might not go into science, seeing as this first lecture put him to sleep.

Ian's first smile captured on camera. (Not that he knew what he was doing ... but if he did, he'd be laughing because it's 3 PM and Mommy hasn't taken a shower yet!) Good camera work, Grandma Schleicher!

Ian loved his first stroller ride! He was fast asleep by the end!

Walquist generations

Grandpa and Grandma Walquist finished out their time in Houston by suggesting that we take "generation pictures." Can you see any resemblance between Ian and Grandpa or Grandma Walquist?

Time with Grandpa & Grandma Walquist

It has been a true blessing to have Kim's parents with us during this time. They've helped in countless ways ... making meals, shopping, running errands, helping with household chores, giving baby advice, caring for Ian. We're looking forward to having Grandpa and Grandma Schleicher with us very soon. Here, Grandma Walquist poses with Ian.

What better way to take a nap than on Grandpa Walquist's tummy? :)
