I USED to type up Monthly updates.  I really need to do it again.  Very fun to see how things have changed...
 
What a difference a month makes -

He knows every single letter, all of his numbers and all of his colors. 
 You can start in the middle of the alphabet and he will just keep 
going.  He even plays around with a 6 or 9 and flips it upside down and 
says 6 9 -  9 6 .  He has these foam numbers and letters - he can even 
put them in order.  He is so darn Smart - He uses the big potty every 
day  now. :) Hopefully he will be out of diapers by the time he is 2 1/2. :)

Are you ready for this - you might want to sit down!!! Ian is now 
bilingual  - He knows all of his colors in Spanish and he can count to 
ten in Spanish.  He also knows a few other words in Spanish, ball, dog, 
and daddy, ect...  He is amazing.  When you drive down the street he 
yells out red means stop -  green go go .... :)  Mike was in the car 
with Ian the other day at a stop light and he started spelling out. 
B.o.r.d.e.r.s.  and Mike thought  - huh - I guess we are near Borders. 
:)  He was only 21 months in January.. :)

Well this month was my birthday and our five year wedding anniversary. 
 It was fun to look back and remember what a fun day that was. :) -

*** Also I would love an email update from you with or without pictures. 
 I work really hard on this update every month - it takes me hours and 
hours!! . That is why it is late Feb. and I am just now getting out 
January.  Enjoy.
