400 Parrots!: Our Tiny Baby

Since we just did an update on Tiago, Ian probably needs one also. He is almost 11 months old (when did that happen??). He is a very busy fellow, crawling, pulling up on the furniture, babbling, pestering his brother, eating every scrap of anything that he finds on the floor, and generally just growing! He loves his Papa and his big brother, and often gets Tiago up in the morning. If Tiago is sleeping, I will put Ian in the bed with him, and the baby will crawl to his brother, and hit him on the back and crawl up to lay on top of him. It is cute, and Tiago takes it really well, wakes up and gives the baby hugs.

He is moving well into the world of solid foods. Last night, he had pears, bananas, some smashed beans and a little bit of avocado. He took his first official step last night, and has been standing well for several weeks now. He has 5 teeth, and is drooling so much that I think that more must be on the way soon.

He is not sleeping through the night, which has been hard on his Mama - but we will survive.

He seems to be like his brother in recreational preferences so far. If I put a soccer ball in his car seat with him, he will kick at it with his feet until he kicks it out of the chair. He likes to sit and bounce a basketball in front him on the floor. He seems to prefer the cars out of the toy box. So another boy, in other words. He loves to be outside, and will happily sit in the Ergo if someone is willing to take him outside.
