Settling In
Well, we are really starting to feel like a settled family now! Ian just loves David! In fact, when David walked in from work last night Ian let out a HUGE squeal. We just both died laughing! My husband had a bad day at work and I told him that Ian's reaction to him should make him feel SOOOO much better!
I have FINALLY gotten Ian on a nap schedule. He is sleeping for 45 minutes in the late morning and 2 hours in the afternoon. It is great for him because he is back to the well rested, sweet boy that I had in VN. And, it is great for me because I actually have enough energy to stay up and spend some time with my husband after he goes to bed!
Ian is eating GREAT!! I will be interested to see how much he has gained when he goes back to the doctor for his 2nd set of shots. I made an appt. yesterday with a dietician to make sure that everything is ok with Ian - but I can't get in until the end of March!! I guess I will just wing it unitl then!
Being a mother is the best job in the world. For a while I thought that I would not get that chance - which makes my time with Ian even more special! God chose just the right child for us! I look at him in amazement sometimes because I can't believe that he doesn't have our DNA running through him. He is soooo much like David and I - it is really amzing!!!!! God is GREAT!
By the way, here are some pictures from his dedication at church on Sunday. It was very emotional for me - but Ian just smiled and kicked his legs the whole time. He kept everyone in stitches.

So glad to hear things are going so well. Love the dedication pics.
Stacey, the 3 of you look so perfect altogether - what a beautiful family. Ian looks so healthy and so adorable! I'm so glad to hear things are settling into a normal routine. Thanks for your comment on my post - it's nice to hear positive reinforcement on that decision; it wasn't an easy one! I really appreciate your input and support. Wish we were new moms together in the same city, what fun we'd have!
That must have made Daddy so happy! Glad to hear you are settling in so nicely at home and got him on a nap schedule, that certainly makes life easier!
Thanks for sharing these wonderful pictures! You all look like you have been a family forever!
I love all the new pictures!!! Ian is definitely growing! It's amazing what love and good Southern cooking can do! I so wish I could see him in person. Maybe this summer...
