It has been too long since I've had the time and mental energy to write a post. I've needed the few hours that Ian naps during the day to either nap myself or relax. Chasing around a toddler is exhausting, and requires a whole new depth of patience. I keep waiting for a time when I will have a few hours to start writing posts on substantive topics outside of our everyday life. Finding the time for research, however, is much more difficult than I had anticipated.
Ian is quickly turning into a little boy on us. He will take a few steps now, though largely still does not show much interest in walking full time. His first steps were actually 2 months ago, April 22, and I keep waiting for him to decide that walking is better than crawling.
He has quite a few words including mama, bye, ball, again, yay and woof woof. We had a bit of a debate in early May whether he was actually saying words so I'm not actually sure if bye or mama came first.
