Aunt Kelly bought this very cute Monkey pillow for Ivan for his birthday. He loves it!

Playing with another one of his
favorite toys. He LOVES to play with the hammer-we are not so sure of it on the other hand. It is extremely noisy!

Loving the Christmas Tree and that cat that likes to hide under it.

Just because he is cute in his new hat!

I thought it looked like he was modeling his new outfit.


I love it when I can capture his blue eyes!

Goofy!


We took Ivan to meet Santa at a holiday party for work. He seemed to like Santa, but did not have a whole lot to say. However, we say Santa again at a restaurant and he ran up to him and jumped into his lap! He then yelled at him from across the restaurant as we ate. He asked Santa for his hat, glasses, belt and boots. Santa was very kind and gave him his hat and glasses, but insisted that he needed his boots and belt.

Santa was good, but Stinger seemed to have a hold on Ivan. I swear Ivan stalked him while we were at the holiday party. He had a very hard time waiting his turn to see him!

Ivan is a very busy child, so it is very rare that I am able to actually catch him looking at the camera.

Building at The Preston's Christmas. These blocks were an early Christmas present and he LOVED them. He loved stacking them and immediately knocking them down.

Grandma and Ivan playing.


Ivan loved this rocking chair as it was just his size. We always attempt to get a photo of him in this chair and were much more
successful this year.

Kelly needed to drag the chair across the room so he could sit with Aunt Kelly. I think he really wanted to share the chair with Kelly, but it did not quite work out that well.

Daddy and Ivan discussing the blocks.
I have been informed that I am VERY behind, so I decided to post a few of our favorite photos from the past month. We have been very busy recently, but I will do my best to update a little more regularly :) We are hoping to start up a new blog page that will replace this one-in order to include Ivan and his baby brother when he arrives.
