Getting Caught Up!

Ivan seems to enjoy climbing into baskets! Here are some photos of him climbing into a laundry basket that I filled with tupperware and toys for him to play with while I make dinner. He LOVED playing with the tupperware! He did get stuck in the basket, but he really seemed to enjoy himself while he was in there!

For some reason, Ivan decided he did not need his left arm in his shirt any more. So, he found a way to get his arm out of his pesky sleeve. As you can see, he was very proud of himself. However, he was not very happy with me when I decided his arm needed to go back in his shirt!

We have had a very busy couple of weeks with keeping our house presentable for showings, preparing for numerous job interivews (which seemed to pay off), preparing for Aunt Kristen's shower and thinking about Ivan's FIRST birthday. Needless, to say I have gotten behind on the blog! Ivan has been keeping us very busy as well. He is so fun and active! I guess I haven't really blogged about about all of the fun things he does, but he does have a lot of fun things going on right now. He has been waving and saying hi, bye bye, ma ma and da da for months now. He has also been saying UH OH and giving hugs while saying AWWWW-it is adorable! His favorite thing seems to be throwing everything on the floor and saying UH OH. Yes, this is very cute, but it is NOT my favorite thing! His other new favorit thing is walking, yep Ivan can walk now. Ivan has been able to take a step here and there for a couple months now, but he really was not interested in walking until a few weeks ago. He is now able to walk across the room with out fallling. He will often choose to sit down and finish with crawling, but he seems so much more motivated to actualy walk instead of crawl. We have had so much fun with the game of having him walk back and forth from Mommy and Daddy and have it in video, so hopefuly we will post that soon.
