8 MONTHS!

8 months old and the cutest he has ever been. He is crawling all over, climbing, and starting to pull himself up onto things. He likes flapping his arms, blowing raspberries, and giving High Fives (he even gave one to the pediatrician!)Check out his tooth in that last picture. He now has two on the bottom. We are so proud.

Scott took him in for a flu shot on Saturday, and Ian weighed in at 19 lbs. 13. (right Scott?) The little guy is getting taller and thinner all the time, and hasn't really gained more than a pound in the last 5 months. His eyes have settled on being blue-ish green-ish brown-ish.

Hangin' with Dad

I know Ian looks forward to seeing Scott all day. The hour before Scott arrives home from work each day is Ian's fussiest time. I am sure Ian feels like he just can't wait any longer for his daddy to come home and rescue him from his mom, toss him around, and make him giggle. And oh the shrieks Ian lets out and the look on Ian's face when Scott walks in the door... you can tell he's been anticipating Scott's arrival. But such a great dad really deserves that kind of reception!

Here Ian is playing his new favorite game-- peek-a-boo!

It didn't work

I changed our blog settings so search engines like Google wouldn't "crawl" our site. But Site Meter says Google is still sending people our way.

Recent searches resulting in a trip to our blog:

"dry ice" rostov shipping
Ferberization
"cantelope drink"+recipe (apparently I am not the only one who spells canteloupe incorrectly)
Inventor of BlueBell Ice cream

Apparently I use all the right buzz words.

I know you only come here for pictures of Ian. More soon, I promise.

Mystery Solved

My mom is a genius. Several weeks ago she suggested that perhaps all the random visits to our site from around the world were due to key words on our blog, such as Blue Bell Ice Cream, or Houston Temple. Well, turns out she was right!

Site Meter tells me that many reffering URLs for our blog include Google searches for none other than Blue Bell Ice Cream. See for yourself. Try out some recent searches that landed strangers on our site in a matter of 3 or 4 days:

Blue Bell Ice Cream Tours
Blueberry ice cream factory + brenham (we are the first two sites listed for this one!)
Blue Bell Ice cream factory Texas

Somehow this makes those visits less creepy. Thanks Site Meter.
