Ian was very good at church today for his second Sunday. He was very popular, too. At one point his godmother-to-be was holding him and said she thought he was trying to sing, because she could feel a sort of growl coming from him. Whether or not that is true, he did fuss just a little - and pretty much always when the choir was not singing. He'd give us about 15 seconds to start singing again before he'd voice his disapproval. It is fortunate that the choir doesn't quit singing very often or for very long in Orthodox services, because it makes for a happy baby. He also waved his hands around quit a lot and really enjoyed watching a couple of the sopranos singing. My theory is that when he does the staring and hand waving, he's thinking about what it would be like to conduct the sopranos himself. He does, at least, have the advantage of drawing the eye, which is at least half of the battle for any conductor.
We've started doing infant massage as part of our nightly ritual. Ian seems to love it. He has also added sleeping longer stretches to his routine. We love that. While it may not count as sleeping through the night, sleep of 5 or 6 hours at a stretch is fabulous!
Aside, and just for fun... people often ask who he resembles. I submit that he looks like his mommy. The top photos were taken in 2009. The bottom photos in 1974.
Yep... he's mine!

Conducting - Like father, like son? Is your choir in a loft?
Glad he's growing so well.
Resemblance is eerie. Genes will tell, I guess.
Sounds like he is into music. We certainly expected that. Glad he was good in church. I am not surprised he was popular. In bit over three weeks I get to see him!
