The last few weeks Ian has grown up A LOT!!! He started climbing out of his pac n' play when we were away one weekend and then climbed out of his crib when we got home. It is quite the feat to watch. Somehow he hoists himself up and over with one leg. Needless to say this opens up whole new territory for us as parents. The first few nights Ian climbed out several times before actually falling asleep and also came running into our room at 5am. We have had to be stern about him staying in his room and have even started locking his door at times. It seems like the novelty has worn off though and he now stays in his crib all night. My parents are bringing down a bed this weekend for Ian though and I am excited to have him in a "big boys bed."
Ian also thinks it is a good idea for him to take off his pajamas and diaper before falling asleep for his nap. He has only done this a few times and I have had to wake him up to put a diaper back on him, cutting his naps a bit short.
Ian's vocabulary has grown significantly in the last few weeks. Taking walks is very entertaining as Ian points to everything- bike, running, pole, bus, truck, park, tree, baby, etc. Since we were locking his door he now thinks that everything is locked and says, "Its locked" about a million times a day. Although it sounds more like "isch lawwked." It is the cutest thing in the world!!
Over Memorial Day weekend we drove to Johnstown, PA for my cousin Zach's wedding. We had a great (but too short!!!) time with family. It was wonderful having all of our family together- from great-grandparents to cousins. Ian LOVED the bubbles and was totally attached to his cousin Cate. He would not leave her side, or her feet for that matter.
Then we drove to Tim's parents house outside of Pittsburgh where we went to a Memorial Day parade. Ian was a bit terrified of all the noise and people and stayed put on Tim or his dad's shoulders. Over the weekend we also went to Ohio to visit with Tim's extended family and Ian got to see his other great-grandparents. It is always such a treat seeing so many generations together. Ian took a bath in the old clawfoot tub at the milkhouse and was a big hit.
I added a picture of my belly as well. I am now at 34 weeks and feeling great despite the insomnia. I am trying to soak up as much time alone with Ian before the baby comes. We spent a sunny cool day at the park to celebrate my 30th birthday.

Liz, such a cute preggo belly! :) You are getting so close, very excited for you. And hope the transition to a "big boy" bed is going well with Ian...Aubrey transitioned not too long before her second birthday as well. It actually wasn't as hard as I anticipated--hoping the same for you!
