Nanny Time

Ivan started off the week with a new nanny, Carlie. They went for a walk yesterday and he was a happy boy when I picked him up at Julia's house. Now he gets to spend M-W with his cousin Cruz! Should be a fun time for them both.

A little background...

Ivan Scott Allen was born on July 10, 2009 at 12:32 p.m. (the same exact time as mom) at Swedish Ballard Hospital after 14 hours of labor to Tyler and Rachel Allen. He weighed in at 7 lbs. 7 oz. and was 20" long. Birth was uneventful and daddy Tyler got to deliver him.


It was an amazing day. Lots of family was present and we had a little birthday party for him in the hospital with party hats and everything!

Roly Poly baby...

Ivan had two big milestones yesterday at 10 1/2 weeks. During the day, while Grandma Christy was watching him, he rolled from his back to his side (when she walked out of the room). Guess we won't be putting him on the bed anymore.


Then, when Tyler and I got home with him, he rolled over from his front to his back TWICE in a row. This is a first too. We were quite excited and think that Ivan was pretty pleased with himself too. :D

Here is Ivan at his first Husky football game where UW played USC who was ranked 3rd in the nation. The Dawgs came out on top 16-13. Ivan had a grand old time. He was wearing his dad's 30+ year old Husky outfit. A couple people commented on his "retro" outfit. But, it was true vintage.


And, for those of you wondering, Ivan wore earplugs. He was great during the game and fell asleep as soon as we won. I figured he was tired out and could finally relax after the win! :D

Ivan's new blog

Just starting a new blog for our son, Ivan, for family and friends. Ivan is almost 11 weeks old already. I can't believe how quickly time has flown. I'm back at work starting this past Monday. What a change.


He's holding his head up now, getting better about tummy time, loves to stand and smile. He's really developing quickly. Loving every minute of it.
