Sunshine at Schweitzer Mountain

It was a great day of skiing for Jackie and I. Thanks NuNu and Pops for watching the little guy and letting us sneak out for the day!

Little Elf

Merry Christmas everyone!

Good fun at the Holbert farm. Can't celebrate the birth of Jesus without some skeet shooting. Even Jackie gave it a whirl. Ian was very proud of mama.

Getting in the Christmas Spirit

As we did some Christmas shopping, we introduced Ian to Snowflake Lane. It's Bellevue's way of keeping shoppers in the holiday spirit. It was a chilly 20 degrees, so Ian was bundled up nicely.


The warm glow of capitalism and the aroma of gingerbread lattes kept us warm.


As part of the festivities, they play Christmas music throughout the street every night at 7 PM. In addition to the lights and music, as Bellevue rarely sees snow, they've set up snow machines across the top of the buildings. They've also got a collection of drummers dressed as toy soldiers that march around the crowd. Ian may be deaf as a result, but he liked the loud drumming, lights, and music. He did not like the dude in the Rudolf suit. Note to self, never EVER dress up as Rudolf.


Cold weather and loud music is fun for the whole family.

Happy Baby

Ian and Jackie had a good laugh in those few minutes just before Ian gets ready for bed. The tired giggles are always welcome at the dinner table.

Camera Shy? No Way!

Our little guy is certainly not camera shy.

Little Walker

Ian is starting to walk a bit with some assistance. He's pulling himself up on whatever is within reach. The below video is Ian stretching his legs thanks to a big diaper box.

November

This is a few of Ian's favorite toys and activities and our trip to Boise for Thanksgiving. We have been way behind on posts so we will get more out soon including his 9 months shots.

Pops-Hopefully this helps you get your Ian fix in.
