A Saturday to remember
We made a spontaneous trip to Uncle Bob and Auntie Barb's yesterday. Uncle Tom and Aunt Linda were in town which made the visit extra special.
Just two men, who share the same birthday, hanging out.
Peek-a-boo!
Thank God for plastic spatulas and spoons.
Hamming it up for the camera
Ignatius signs up for one of his famous staring contests.
Baby's first Thanksgiving
The day started off with a visit to Mom. Notice the smile on Iggy's face, wondering what he's looking at.
Such a handsome dude
Giving his best effort at a staring contest with his Uncle Tommy.
Our family portrait
It's no secret that this is an incredibly hard holiday for our family. However, this year with this little man our day was a little brighter. He's such a special gift from God and I am truly thankful for him.
Daddy Daycare
Michael had Ignatius the day before Thanksgiving while I was working. Boy oh boy did they have a special day together.
First they played dress up, the theme was it's been an 80 hour work week and you really need a beer.
Then it was off to the park. Iggy took his first ride in the swing. Needless to say he loved every second.
Finally the day completed with a jam session. Not sure if that's the best place for the bumbo, but oh well, he's learning.
The lifestyles of Chauncey and Iggy
I'm so annoyed I ruined this picture. I would really appreciate it if anyone out there can manage to photoshop me out of it.
Nap time together
The other morning Chauncey curled up with Iggy and helped him play.
Seriously so cute. I'm so happy these two have each other.
Christmas kisses.
Watch out American Idol
From the beginning Ignatius has loved to sing along when Michael plays the guitar. I'm happy I was able to capture it.
Child genius
I threw these rings around him in a circle, turned around to fold some clothes, and looked back to find that he put them all in a perfect row. I was amazed, but aren't most mothers constantly amazed by their children's actions?
No more hats Mom!
This is his best effort to get the hat off. Am I evil that kept snapping away instead of helping?
Iggy's first trip to Galena
Over Veteran's Day weekend we made a trip up to my parent's log cabin in Galena. We went with our friends Chris and Leah and their son Beckett. Perfect time of year to go.
Iggy was very well behaved during the car ride up there.
Perfect sunset
Dude time on the couch
Iggy loved his sink bath
So sweet

Two boys playing nicely
Could there be a cuter sight?

Baby blues
I am obsessed about Ignatius's eye color and whether or not these blue eyes are staying. Initially the pediatrician said if they're blue by 6 months, it's pretty safe to say they're staying. So today I asked her was she thought, she only saw a few specs of brown in the left eye. She ruled out brown eyes, but said they may change to hazel, more like a blue grey. We'll see. I still think it's my Mom's doing!
Post bath time fun
Iggy fears this will turn into another nudie session
Someone finally noticed the camera lens
Those cheeks!
Six months!
Iggy is also shocked with how fast time has gone. Can't believe my baby is halfway to a year.
Such a sweet baby face.
This smile can brighten anyone's day.
Can't believe how fast the first 6 months has gone. Feels like just yesterday I was wrapping my arms around this bundle of joy for the first time. Every second with him is a dream come true.
We had Iggy's 6 month visit today. Weighing in 17lbs, 7 oz (that's a 10 pound weight gain since birth) and measuring in at 27 1/2 inches ( 7 1/2 inches since birth). He falls in 50% for weight and 83% for height. The doctor was very impressed with his sitting up and thinks he will be an early crawler, only time will tell.
Naked baby
Two seconds after this was taken, little Mister spit up all over. Luckily it made for a great photo shoot.
Smiling with his eyes.
Making tooting noises
So serious all the time.
Let's party!
Hey Mom, grab me some milk!
