Ivan is a year old!

I've been so remiss (and posting most updates on Facebook). But, a quick update. Ivan turned one on July 10. 2010 and had a wonderful party with family and friends. He even hosted a keg, but decided to abstain from drinking it himself.

He started officially walking on his birthday. He stood at a table and walked away from it. Luckily, this came just in time for Tyler to see this before he left for the Summer to go fishing in Alaska. Ivan also remains a small little guy. He weighed 17 lbs. and was 29" at his one-year check up. He is in about the 2nd or 3rd% for weight and between the 25-50% for height.

The LITTLE stinker

Went to Ivan's 6 month checkup on Wednesday. All was well. Ivan is 26" long (or as Bob says, 2 foot 2) and weights 14lbs. 9oz. He's in the 50% for height, but only the 10% for weight. Guess we'll have to start calling him Slim. :D

Hopefully, he stays in the 10% or moves up a little next appointment. Otherwise, he's doing great!

Ivan's half birthday and his first meal

Ivan turned 6 months old yesterday. It is so hard to believe that he's already a 1/2 year old. We celebrated by having Bob & Christy over (Nana and Top Gun were in California) and feeding Ivan his first meal: organic brown rice cereal and breastmilk. He loved it! We had to take his bib off, though, because he wanted to eat it too. The little guy made quite a mess. Then, we stripped him naked to wash him down and he peed on the kitchen floor while walking. Pretty funny. Here are some pics of the big day.

Tummy Turner...

Ivan can turn himself around! He's not crawling yet, but he can turn around on his tummy. He enjoys it on our bed especially.
