More Kitchen fun

While Mike and I were cleaning up after dinner, this is what Ivan decided he would do. He decided he would some how climb under the bar stool that his booster seat sits on. I am pretty sure he just wanted to play with the strap that hangs down from his seat, but he managed to get himself stuck inside the legs of the bar stool! He was not at all upset about being in this tight spot, but just managed to make the best of it. Mike and I both took numerous photos of Ivan before freeing him form his "cage." As you can see, he was not at all upset about us leaving him in there! I think he actually enjoyed it!

Oops, he did it again!

I know the title of this post sounds like a Britney Spears song, but that really was not my intention. I am a little embarassed about that, but oh well. So, Ivan managed to get stuck in his toy basket again and I have to say it was just as funny the second time around. Uncle Marc and Aunt Kristen were at our house dropping off a very cool book that they had bought for Ivan when all of the sudden Ivan dove right into his toy basket again. We of course had to grab the camera before we could get him out!

Cute!

This is how you will pretty much always find Ivan sitting in his booster seat. For some reason he always pushes his toes against the inside of his tray and will just sit there and eat his whole meal with his feet just like this! I think it is adorable!

I know it looks like Ivan has a cut on his foot, but I just want to assure everyone that it was not a cut. I noticed this mark after I took the photos and as I inspected it, I was able to rub it right off. I have no idea what it was, but was very happy that it was not a cut!

Bad Mom!!!!

Ivan has had a bit of an infatuation with the oven for a while now, so we have constantly been pulling him away from the oven and telling him no. If I am using the oven, he is almost always in his high chair, so he is not around the oven when it is actually on. Well, the other day I was in the kitchen doing dishes and Ivan followed me in like he usually does and he pulled himself up on the oven. Well, he looked so cute as he leaned back and looked up at me, so I of course had to grab the camera. I know I should have pulled him away and told him no, but I am so weak when he looks so darn cute!

Playing Ball with Daddy

We discoverd that Ivan really likes to play with balls while we were at my mom's recently. She had bought Ivan some plastic balls because he always wanted to play with their dog's toys. So, after seeing how much fun he had at mom's, I bought him some tennis balls for our house. I thought it was amazing at how well he was able to bounce the ball and catch the ball. He will stand at the table and bounce it back and forth and will even go get it when it goes off of the table. The funniest part is that he often laughs the whole time!

We also managed to get a photo of Ivan waving. He is a bit of a mess in this photo, but I think it is the first time we have managed to get a photo of him waving. He seems to be waving and saying hi or bye bye constantly, but never when we have the camera out :)

Where's Daddy?

Ivan really enjoys looking out the door and watching the cars go by, but today I could not get him away from the door. Mike was outside power washing the front porch and Ivan just could not stop watching him. I just love the photo of him on his tippy toes!

Ivan's New Toy

Ivan has been walking around the Living Room pushing his basket and ottoman for some time now, so I decided it was time to get him a real walking toy. So, while Aunt Kristen and I were at Target starting her baby registry, I kept finding numerous things that I thought Ivan needed. It is amazing at all of the things they "need" I had a gift card that I received from Mike's dad and step-mom for my birthday, so I figured-who better to spend it on than Ivan? I had already spent the birthday money my mom gave me on clothes for Ivan, so why not buy him some toys too? So, I bought him numerous small things and this new walking toy. He absolutely loves it and just gets this big grin on his face when he uses it. You can tell he is so proud of himself.
