Just Like Dad

Ian has been bathed in an inflatable bath tub since birth. The duck tub has served us well, and is probably even responsible for 'duck' being among Ian's first words. It quacks when you squeeze its beak, and is well adored by Ian.

Unfortunately, the duck has sprung a leak somewhere and needs to be inflated before each bath. I hate this chore and often try to get by and bathe Ian in a deflated duck... though most of the bath water escapes through the slumping sides of the duck before Ian gets clean. Scott, however, dutifully blows it up each time he bathes Ian. And apparently Ian has taken note. Last night, Ian mimicked Scott blowing air into the duck and we caught it on tape. Enjoy!

Some Favorite Things

Ian has developed a love for apples. He prefers to eat them straight off the core and is great at getting the job done!

Recently we pulled out this adorable Tonka Truck that Ian's aunties gave him. It came full of diapers just before he was born. Ever since we showed it to him a few weeks ago, he has taken every opportunity to enthusiastically push it around the loft, loading and unloading toys from the truck bed along the way. Perhaps he has inherited my love for construction equipment.
