5 Months Old!

Then....

Now....

First Swim!

Ian went swimming for the first time last weekend. He seemed to really be enjoying himself. (These pictures were taken before he really got into it.)

We spent the afternoon with friends from our Wymount ward. I visit taught our host (who moved to the Houston area about 6 months before us) and my visiting teachers from Wymount were there too... both of their families moved to the Houston area a year before us. (The visiting teaching program sure is inspired -- because of it, I had three friends in Houston before we even arrived!)

I have always thought babies couldn't wear sunscreen until 6 months old. So Ian is fully clothed to protect him from UV rays. And sunscreen.

Has anyone else heard that sunscreen rule? What harm could suncreen do?

Bath Toys

Ian was introduced to his first bath toys this week. He became fast friends with these squirty frogs. Is it just me, or are they making the same face?

Heather's Visit

Heather (my childhood friend of 15 years!) spent most of her birthday on an airplane to come visit us! And we were so glad she did! I spent most of her visit trying to make her stop changing diapers and doing dishes. :)

We had lots of late night chats, and it was an incredibly fun weekend. And before she left, she had become the latest Twilight series addict!
