Walking, walking, walking....























Walking, walking, walking....chasing, chasing, chasing....that's what's happening in our house right now. Ian has really started walking a bunch in the past few days. He still falls down, but he gets right back up and takes off again. Charlie says that he still has the "drunk walk" going on. Whatever it is..it's cute and we're so proud.

We had another great weekend with this remarkable little guy. I looked back at some of the pictures we took while we were in India. He's already changed quite a bit. It's happening so fast.

He gets very frustrated when he can't do something. For example....he has this little puzzle that he tries to put together. He knows exactly where the pieces go...but he can't quite manipulate them in the right direction. So...he slams them down and squeals at them. His little brain is working faster than his little hands.

He's been feeding himself with his fingers for a while now, but he's started using the spoon occasionally. Tonight we tired eating yogurt. I'll post a picture of his "success". We went directly from the high chair to the bathtub. He actually does pretty well.

Oh, oh...one more cute thing. I told him today to shake his "booty"...and of course showed him how to do it. Now anytime I say "Ian, shake your booty" he does. He doesn't have the booty shaking too much...but he shakes the rest of his body and gives me the scrunch face look and just giggles.

This is just the best!!! Watching him grow and develop daily is awesome. He makes us laugh out loud every single day. We are so, so blessed.

I'm sitting here trying to decide which pictures to post. As soon as I pick the camera up, he starts coming toward me wanting to touch it and take it away. Between Charlie and I, we've been able to get a few shots.

Please say a prayer for our new friends Grace and Shane. They are in the process of adopting a little girl from India. Things have gone remarkably well and how they've hit a snag. Hopefully things will speed up and they'll have her home soon. As you all know, this can be heart breaking when you're so close to traveling. Grace...I know this will be over soon and you'll be on your way to pick up sweet little Jadyn.
