It was a gorgeous day on Satruday May 12th when Cara and Jon got married. I don’t have a whole lot of pictures because I was a bridesmaid.
Here are the few that I do have:
I could feel it from the start,
Isn’t he cute???
It was a gorgeous night out tonight so after dinner, Mike and I took Ian out in the backyard to play.
Mike and Ian posing for me:
Extreme close-up of Ian:
What Ian *REALLY* wanted to do outside: TALK ON THE PHONE! 
Ian is talking a TON!
Here is a list of words he says, so far, at 14 months old:

-dada
-Papaw
-JoJo (from JoJo’s Circus on Playhouse Disney)
-baby
-bus
-wow
-whoa
-uh-oh
-ouch
-more
-thank you
-please
-down (he uses this for “up” AND “down”)
-bites (word we use for food/eat)
-bottle (comes out sounding like “bah-uhl”)
-pat
-eyes
-brush
-shoes
-car
-tv (comes out sounding like “tee-tee”)
-hello
-hi
-bye-bye
-night-night (sounds more like “nigh-nigh”)
(….and like any toddler, repeats EVERYTHING!)
Ian also knows a few baby signs:
-milk
-more
-all done
-eat
Ian can also tell us what animals “say”:
-meows for kitty
-barks for puppy
-whinies for horsies
-chirps for birdies
Such a smart boy!!!
Indiana
We recently made a trip to Indiana over Easter weekend. Ian had lots of fun and got to play with Charlie (the dog) and his cousins Trinity and Jackson.
Ian is taking a baby swim class at the Tonawanda Aquatic and Fitness Center. They have an Olympic size pool as well as a baby/wading pool.
During the first class Ian shivered and was pretty miserable. The second class was much more enjoyable for him. We’re not sure if it was due to him getting used to the class and pool or if it was due to the swim shirt he wore but it went MUCH better. We’re talking smiles and laughing! After class, we even took him in the wading pool to play for a bit!
Weather is FINALLY starting to break here and we’ve been spending a lot more time outside. Ian’s been taking lots of walks and getting a lot of use out of his wagon. We even took him to the neighborhood park recently! He loooooved the slide. After he went down the slide, he’d lay at the bottom just giggling!
