Ian has made the transition to sleeping in his crib in his room very easily. In fact, Ian gave Mommy and Daddy a big gift last night: he slept from 8:30 pm-6:30 am. If you ever want to see a hungry baby, come visit Ian after he has slept for a solid 10 hours.
Matt finished the rock project before the Schleichers left for Missouri. 
The main reason for laying down new landscaping fabric and LOTS of bull rock was to make the area around our new air conditioning condenser units look better.
As you can see, bull rock comes in a variety of different shapes, sizes, and colors.

It is a little tough to tell, but Ian is carrying on a conversation with the crab on his shirt, asking how he was the only guy asked to be in the picture with all of these beautiful women.
Ian surely looks comfortable in Macy's arms in this picture. Matt is sporting his new glasses in this one as well.
We are still working on getting Ian to look at the camera when cute pictures are being taken.
Ross is assisting Grandpa with the grilling on the night that the Albuquerque Walquists fixed a Mexican feast.
Great-Uncle Ross had a good time holding Ian.
Great-Aunt Jill and Ian really bonded during our time in Jefferson City. If there were no other volunteers to hold Ian, we knew we could always count on Jill.
Kieron and Great-Grandpa brainstorm how they will teach Ian to throw and catch the orange ball.
Macy had the magic touch and helped Ian fall asleep in her arms. Believe it or not, Rowan is contemplating his proximity to Ian and its connection to his upcoming junior year in high school (...ok, there is no connection, but it probably put a puzzled look on your face).
Rilee is all tuckered out and shows Ian how to take a nap without being wrapped in a SwaddleMe.
Brielle and Great-Aunt Mary made this beautiful, soft blanket for Ian. Here, Brielle and Great-Grandma enjoy a moment with our little guy.
Luke and Great-Uncle Rick attempt to get Ian to smile.
Great-Aunt Mary will graduate soon with her nursing degree. Here, she uses Ian as her model as she explains proper flexing and extending of the knee joint to Great-Grandma.
What a photogenic group!!
Ian and Great-Grandma hit it off right away. Great-Grandma even sang a few stanzas of "Jesus Loves Me" when she was holding Ian later and he was a little fussy.
Here, Ian is showing Great-Grandpa one of the many saliva bubbles he has been blowing lately.
Grandma and Ian enjoyed looking in the mirror together in the hotel room. Ian slept well each night and was accused of snoring only twice. 
Grandpa and Ian enjoyed listening to the chimes on Great-Grandma and Great-Grandpa Walquist's porch. Ian is surely using his five senses as he learns about the world.
