Ian turned 4 months old today. It's hard for me to remember what it was like before he arrived. What did I do with all my free time before breast feeding, diaper changing, doing massive amounts of laundry and acting as his personal entertainer? Gosh! Ian continues to smile and talk up a storm. He has rolled over a few times now but doesn't want to show off his new skill too much. He's over 17 pounds now and around 27 inches long. I saw a few newborns last week and had a hard time believing that he was ever that small. He's also making massive amounts of drool (perhaps there is a bit of St. Bernard puppy in him?) and gnawing at anything and everything he can get into his mouth. He seems to prefer the knuckle on my first finger. I can't imagine it tastes very good, I often offer him a little salt and pepper to go with it but he seems quite content to have it just plain.
Now that he's 4 months (and 17#) we have transitioned him from my sling to a backpack. He seems to really enjoy his perch up high above our heads in the backpack.
He also seems to like to fall asleep up there. Too cute.
Our dear friend Ryan came to visit last weekend (he biked here from Portland, Oregon - over 400 miles). Here we are in the trunk of a redwood...
Most of the time Ian is a pretty happy little guy but when I saw him put on this sweatshirt the other morning I wondered if there was something I was missing...

SO cute! I love the new carrier (Justin loves it, too, and is researching to find us one as I write this! ;). I also love how Ian is drooling and sitting up in his Bumbo - something Seb is having fun with, as well!
Miss you guys and give Ian a huge hug for us!
So cute, and I cannot believe how fast time has gone by. It makes me wonder how fast time will fly once this baby arrives - yikes!
Hope you are all well -
I can't believe how big he has gotten...and so handsome! How time flies! Love the backpack!
