Ian is just so precious! He's been a sweet baby since day 1. We have all enjoyed having him around. I have hundreds of pictures I could post (I can't get enough of that sweet little face!), but here's some highlights of Ian's first month:
He's got a beautiful doll face!
When he is content, Ian will make this cute noise (turn up volume to hear; there is not much to see)
Ian was born with this patch of white hair. It is a birth mark--Gabie has one on his chest. These particular kinds are called "milk cravings"--an old wive's tale that says all birth mark marks come from some maternal craving. Which is completely false since I don't like milk! But I think it looks cute on Ian! He has since lost all that hair in the back so the patch is barely visible as of now
Ian got the "goopy eye" as I call it, aka clogged tear duct around 3 weeks old. It lasted until Ian was about 3 months old. He was a one-eyed pirate for a while. Arrrr!
That cute grumpy face of his!
2 week old smiles! Not the real deal, but just as cute!
Ian loves his mommy (me!). We enjoy our snuggles.
Another cute grumpy face!
So little!
Yet another grumpy face!
Ian didn't like whatever it was here, obviously
We think Ian looks a lot like Gabe did!
And kind of like this creepy doll
Elisa can't get enough of Ian. No, really...she just can't. It drives me CRAZY.
He loves his fingers! He likes pacifiers too, but can't seem to get them to stay in his mouth!
His umbilical cord stump took forever to fall off. Ian's was waaay stinkier than any of my other kids'. I think it was the humidity here that made it stinky and not dry out as much. I was ever so glad when it did fall off!
He is a good, sweet sleeper!
Beautiful pictures! I didn't know about the milk cravings birthmarks. Erik and Makayla had stork bites on the back of their necks.
