Ian, IKEA, and Peas! Oh, my!

Ian's recent trips to specialists have given us an excuse to go to a couple of our favorite places: IKEA and Trader Joe's. Mommy and Daddy remember when we used to be able to go on a whim, and not just because we didn't have a baby to think about. In any event, we felt it was important to memorialize this important first in Ian's life.

Here is Ian in the IKEA cart in the IKEA elevator, which Daddy forgot to make go up to the next floor because he was too busy talking about babies with the other elevator occupants. Teeheehee! Ian's not all that enthusiastic in this photo, but that's only because we had yet to visit children's IKEA.


Here, Ian and Daddy are standing in front of an IKEA display.

This was all on Friday.

Skipping ahead to yesterday...

We're all about new experiences in this house, so we had to introduce Ian to peas. We think he liked them pretty well. Mommy likes the little smock/bib from IKEA and wishes we had bought several more of them, since it kept most of the peas off of his clothes! Here's a snippet of Ian eating his peas, good boy that he is.



Also a first, Ian just discovered the dangling banana on his Jumperoo last night while he jumped to the "music" of Olympic Hockey. He was so determined to get the banana that Mommy became determined to get the moment on video. Here it is.



Finally, Ian got a very special valentine card from his Grandma J, and he enjoyed holding it and looking at it. Mommy especially liked the diaper coupons inside. :)
