2002
He is such a toddler now. My baby is GONE!!! Ian can point to a ton of his body parts now!! He loves to put things in the trash!!! He tries to but almost anything in there. He thinks that is so funny!!! He also likes to feed the cats treats. He loves to play with the Slinky on the stairs.
Deirdre was down last month and started talking about something Ian had done a few months ago - she read about it on my monthly updates. It made me feel really good since it takes me so darn long to type all of this up and crop all one million photos! :) I hope you all enjoy this email!! :) I would love to hear about what all of you are up to!
