A couple of firsts

Hi all

This was a weekend of firsts for Ian and I…

Friday was my first outing without Ian that didn’t involve shopping or the doctor’s office.  Grandma Ruth came over to stay with him.  I then went out with two friends, Sonja and Kathy, for dinner and then to a charity event.  A local charity, Indian Creek foundation, brought Alton Brown from the food network in to give a demo and lecture.  They held it in a large church in Souderton that probably sits over 1500 people.  They provided him a kitchen on the stage and then he spoke and cooked for almost 2 hours.  He was hilarious, making fun of himself, some of the other chefs at the food network and people in the audience.  He took numerous questions and it was a great night!!  I will admit that when I left I was nervous for how Ian would be, but Mom said he was good and was not very fussy.  I will have to try it again!

He attended his first birthday party on Saturday.  Hannah and Ellie turned 3 last week and John and Lisa had some family and friends over to celebrate.  Three years have gone so fast and they have grown up so fast.   It is amazing how fast they move… as you can see below it is difficult to get them to sit for pictures.  I was worried about how Ian would do for a few hours away from home and its familiarity.  He did really well.  He slept through most of the day and did well being passed around a little.  It probably helped that on Friday he didn’t sleep very much and slept a lot on Saturday.  Here are some pictures from the party….

This was the best picture of all of us we could get!

Another first for the weekend was that Grandma Ruth and I took Ian to church.  He did really well… though my arm was tired by the end of service.  I did have to take him out to the lobby a couple of times to rock him to sleep.  He seemed to enjoy the music.  I didn’t take any pictures, sorry.

The last picture I wanted to share is from what I find very cute about Ian.  When he poops, you know it.  He begins to scrunch up his face and grunts.  At times his face gets a little red as well.  I have been trying to get a picture of it for weeks and finally got it.  The face is so cute and it is nice to get a warning when he is going to go…

I am working on it Mom
