Today Ian & I "Skyped" with Granmma & Granpa Klein. He got a big kick out of it! If you don't have Skype, you need to get it. It's free & you can see the person live! He even sat up on his own for a few seconds! He's getting much better at this! I think by the time we get our family photos done (June 26) he'll definitely be able to sit up on his own!
Then we cleaned house. Ian was a BIG help! in that he was a good baby & kept himself entertained while I cleaned. When the rain let up we went for a run. It was a good run! Now we are having some family time, so I am going to sign off.

Ian's Day with Grandma Sorenson
Hi mom,
How about this picture? Grandma took it. I think she was really impressed when I took my bottle of warm milk. She was really blown away when i showed her I could hold the bottle and tilt it and feed myself so she could braid. Then we played and rocked in the rocking chair until I fell asleep. Dad and grandpa were able to get in a good ride. What a day. You would be so proud of me---I was soooo good.
Love,
Ian

Mom's BEST advise EVER!
Moms give lots of advise. Don't take candy from strangers. Say please & thank you. Early to bed, early to rise. Blah, blah, blah. But my mom just administered the BEST advise EVER!
Tide detergent (powder only) + Shout spray + hot water = gets stains out!
Getting into parenthood I knew babies were messy & I know they poop & have "blowouts." What I didn't know it was almost permanent these blowouts could be on clothes! Not to sound like a commercial, but it really works! Even on a white onesie! Hallelujah!! Now that's good advise!

Who Knew?
Today we learned a valuable lesson. Ian likes his bottles warmed. He has been struggling with taking a bottle from us. We have warmed the bottles to room temperature, but apparently that wasn't warm enough. And I have read so much on the internet; try a sippy cup, have dad feed him with mom out of the room, feed with a baby spoon, try waking up baby & feeding them while sleepy. I even called the pediatrician's office. Yesterday I bought a couple sippy cups hoping he'd like that instead. It worked at first, but then he refused again. Tonight we bought a bottle warmer and so far it's worked. No one mentioned that...Dirk thought of it because they use it at school. Tonight he actually drank 5 oz! (that's a lot for him). We'll see if it still has it's magic tomorrow! God I hope so!

Lots of events this week!
Yesterday was DIrk's birthday & Ian's gift was to roll over! And over, and over! Dirk got it on video. Ian is very happy about this new accomplishment! He showed his teachers at school his new trick too by rolling all day.
He is becoming much more social & his personality is emerging.
Last week we went to Children's Hospital for the last time for awhile! Ian no longer has to wear his brace!! We are so glad because it was really torture putting him in it at bed time.
On May 8, Dirk, Ian & Mer all ran in the Mai Fest run in Leavenworth. We had a lot of fun. The weather was nice (but cold!) I was the only one that dressed up for the run, but I'm glad I did! It was fun! That was what I wanted to do for my Mother's Day. Actual Mother's Day was uneventful since I had to work.
May 13-15 Ian & Mer went up to Whidbey to visit the Island Grandparents. Granma Kay bought Ian a suit for an upcoming family wedding. Ian got his first balloon at Red Robin. We celebrated Dirk & Mer's birthdays and Mother's Day at Grandma & Grandpa Sorenson's. Ian gave his Grandmas art he did at school. Everyone had a good time!

Busy Baby!!
Ian has been a busy baby! Thursday & Friday he & I picked up Aunt Julie at the airport & went to Whidbey Island to visit Mom & Marv. We had a nice visit. Ian finally got to meet Linda & John, and Dorothy McNamara! Saturday morning Team Sorenson got up & headed to Leavenworth at 8am. We spent the day running (Mer) and biking (Dirk). Ian had his first experience with grass. He tried to eat it. It was a beautiful, sunny day! And then we were home by 10 pm! On Sunday, Mer went to work, Dirk & Ian went back to Whidbey. Grandpa Sorenson & Dirk rode their bikes down the island, while Ian & Grandma Sorenson hung out. Whew! It was a great weekend!
