7 Months

Seven months seems a bit odd. It feels like just yesterday when we were in the hospital anxiously awaiting for Jackie's induction to take effect. And yet it seems like Ian has been with us for years. His little personality has really begun to show through lately, and he has the sweetest disposition. We are very lucky to have such a happy little guy.

Jackie and I were going to head to the new Braevern shopping district in downtown Bellevue. Instead, we opted for a walk around our neighborhood. A stroll through nature was much better than some time in Neiman Marcus.

And with the seven month mark, so comes seven months in review...

Mobile Munchkin

Ian has become very mobile over the last week and has found lots of new ways to amuse us all. We created a slide show to capture all his new adventures.

Like Mother Like Son

Here's a recent picture of the little guy.


Compare that to this picture of Jackie when she was about the same age.

Labor Day

Ian loves spending time in his mobile playground.

For Labor Day, we joined the rest of the Shea clan over in Sandpoint. Below was our spirited bartender dishing out the spirits.


The evening's entertainment moved outside and included an aerial dog display. Red loves jumping off the dock for her tennis ball.

The crowd gathered around to enjoy a nice evening without any rain.

Ian acted out a scene from "Oklahoma!" with his impression of Curly McLain. Go west young man, go west.

The beautiful mom's to be. Ian and the rest of us can't wait for the new additions!

Ian got in some good time with Uncle Tony and Aunt Lindsey.

The crew was sacked out by the end of the day. Lots of tired bodies.

Every night before bed, Ian enjoys reading his favorite books.

This one was a real page turner. The lion next to the Christmas tree. I never saw that one coming! Ian enjoys a good plot twist now and again.
