Long awaited blog update

Okay so this time around I've stretched the update to over a month (by just a few days). Here's a quick recap of the events of the past month (in no particular order):

1. Kara went to LA (for work) for 4 days leaving Ian here with me (and the nanny). I had a couple of late nights (very late) but overall we did just fine. It actually was easier than I thought and thanks to Kara's milk stockpile I only fed him formula a couple times. It was also a lil easier for Kara as well. While she still missed him terribly it wasn't the heart breaking ordeal she feared.

2. Ian's getting much better with his neck control and soon he'll be able to sit up unassisted. (or so we hope)

3. He's trying to turn over, but hasn't quite mastered it.

4. He LOVES grabbing his feet. And sticking anything he can in his mouth. He can't quite fit his feet in his mouth (yet), but he's trying...he has managed to get his socks in his mouth though.

5. He's making all sorts of weird baby noises. He used to just cry or whine. Now he's got all sorts of non-upset noises. Kara's working on translating it into English, but hasn't gotten it down yet.

6. Non baby related-the work on the basement is finally underway. This is important for visitors (like say, my father) since Ian's nursery was the guest room. Right now there is no guest room. But soon that will be fixed as the basement is getting a remake with a nice guest bedroom and a fancy schmancy bathroom (complete with steam room!!). As of Aug 7th the workers are about halfway done and expect to be finished by the end of the month. Potential guests time to start scheduling your Sept/Oct visits!

7. More non baby related-my office is moving and I hired two new employees, one of which is the person who started the company with me 7 long years ago, Nate Vanek. His coming back has been the closest thing to an early birthday present.

8. We can't think of anything else important to mention (which doesn't mean there isn't anything, just that we are way too tired to think of it).

Thanks for watching. :)
