A couple of significant things happened over the weekend. The first being that Ian’s Aunt Lori was married in a hot air balloon. This may not seem like an important event in Ian’s life, but it was because he was there for the flight and chase. Ian saw his first hot air balloon inflate up close and personal. He was riveted, but that’s about it.

An event finally occurred. We were told over a month ago that Ian had started teething. Well, guess what. His first tooth has broken the gum. There really isn’t much of a tooth yet, but it’s obvious that you’re not feeling the gum anymore. For one, it’s kind of sharp and no he hasn’t bitten me yet.

And last, but by no means the least aggravating, Ian is officially crawling. It’s kind of a commando crawl, but he can get from point A to point B pretty fast. He was scooting around for a bit, but now he’s chasing the cat. We finally had to get a gate and he’s going to be kept in the living room from now on.
