Weekend Hodgepodge
As Ian and I wind down the week toward our departure to Arizona, I thought I would post a hodgepodge of pictures from the weekend. It may or may not be my last post before leaving. Work will be extremely crazy this week, more than 50 old work friends are flying into town for an annual sales meeting and I will be doing some training with some staff in from Hong Kong for a few days. Whew.
This past weekend, we broke down and turned the heat on. It went from 75 to 55 in less than a week's time. I'm so depressed. We've got to start getting creative about how and when Ian plays...or resolve to 6 months indoors. Bummer.
On Saturday, Ian picked up the fleece jacket in his crib, which serves as a blanket. It's the jacket he came to us in... and doesn't pay much attention to it, but it still has his orphanage smell on it, so it's not going anywhere. Well, he wanted to put it on, so I helped him into it and he jumped around his crib for a while, then asked for "off", and hurled it across the crib without a second glance. In another month or so, I'll attempt to redress him in his "gotcha" outfit for a little trip down memory lane. Until then, the jacket stays tucked in the corner of his crib...for a secret midnight sniff that he'll probably never admit to.
Ian and Shawn brought his cozy coupe in the house and it's been a living room staple since Saturday. It's not as though we have a big house, but he loves scooting around in it or pushing it around our kitchen island.
Also below are a few pictures of Ian playing... feeding the ducks... going for a wagon ride.
Wish us a speedy week as we get ready for Arizona. It's a short trip, but I'll be glad to escape this cold!
The Jacket.... then and now. I should add that he was wearing 3 other layers under it in November, and only jammies now.
He has recently shown great interest in letters... Without help, he happened to accidentally spell EDGAR all by himself. Yeah Ian, I miss Edgar Martinez, too.
This was all Ian. I didn't touch a single block. He's getting much better about his form and function.
Hangin' in the Cozy Coupe
He's pretty much inseparable from his choo choos.
Feeding the ducks
Aw! Love the jacket pics. I can't believe it's almost a year. He's doing great with the blocks!Have a great trip to Arizona. Hope it's a little warmer there.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the Ian picture fix. He is just so sweet. His building skills are pretty amazing. It's so cool to see how much he's grown and learned.
