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!

Christmas 2006

Ian on Christmas eve. He just found out that there is a nice AND naughty list.


Here is Ian surveying all that Santa brought on Christmas morning. Looks like he made it to on the nice list....not that he was worried!


"Look Daddy, I can do it all by myself!"



Ian's favorite part....the paper!


Santa brought a rocking giraffe...perfect for his room!


Mimi and Bo gave Ian the Zoo animal choo-choo train...a very big hit!


"Thanks Granny for the red wagon. Can't wait for warm weather!"

Point Clear Trip

We went to the Marriott Grand Point Clear last week for 3 nights. It was an excuse for me to get CME (Continuing Medical Education) and just for us to get away.
On the way down, we met up with Scott and Jennifer Walker (friends from college) and Ian met their son Jack.
Ian was clowning around on the bed.
Our room had a view of the marina. Some of the boats had the Christmas Spirit.
Ian and I enjoying the morning on our balcony.


Ian was trying to tell me his favorite joke. I'm sure he will get better at it as he gets older., but for now he can't even get through it without falling out laughing.

Ian meets Santa

This is a scan of the Santa picture so its a little grainy but you get the idea....as you can see, there was no fear of Santa! Wait until next year!!

Halfway to My Birthday

Guess who is 6 months old today? As you can see, the little man and his hair are growing up.
