Using the Choppers

Ian now has 2 teeth. And even though he will smile for any and every camera, getting him to show the teeth is another story.
He enjoys a good piece of toast.
He also will tear into a Biter Biscuit. Believe it or not some of it does end up in his stomach.

Emily's dance

Of course, we forgot to take any pictures of her alone.
She had all of her friends over to get ready for the dance.

There was make-up and flat irons everywhere!
Em with her friends.

The Beach and a Babe Magnet

"Will you be my Valentine?"

"This is the biggest bath tub I've ever seen!"...Ian was later told that this was the Gulf of Mexico in Gulfport.

"This hat makes me look like such a big boy!"

"Daddy and I look good!"

A Few Recent Pics

Check out my sweet new ride.
We took Ian to his first basketball game. With the game starting at his bedtime and the crowd cheering and screaming...well let's just say he has had happier nights.
A little time with a blanket full of toys.

I'm Not a Squirt Anymore!

So, this was Ian and Anderson when Ian was about 4 days old and Anderson was 2 1/2 months old.

Now look at them! Not such a difference anymore! I think Ian is catching up! Of course, he hasn't caught up to Sean Patrick yet!

"Anderson, I think you have my toy!"
"I got it!"

Ian Learns What It Means To Be A Saints Fan

Alright, Caryn and I are big nerds. We made Ian and his woman Saints outfits to be ready for the big game. As you can see, he knows he looks good.
Ian and his honey, Meredith, were fired up and ready to go.
Ian's favorite Saint is Scott Fujita because he too was adopted.

"Just making sure you're not messing up my stuff."

He needed some consoling after the game.

Ian's Posse

Here is the "Mommy and Me" crew. From left to right:
Carson, Logan, Meredith (the only girl, poor baby), Ian, and Zachary

Look at Me!

Uncle Matty came all the way to Mississippi just to see me!!

This has to be some sort of choking hazard, right?? (no one panic...he really can't choke on it!)

Ian thinks he is very grown up because he sits in the big tub all by himself!
