He's an olympian in our eyes!


Ivan is getting better and better at feeding himself. He does pretty good with oatmeal and anything sticky, like this rice with curry sauce, chicken and brocoli. His other new accomplishments are to spin. One of the first times he did this, he got so dizzy, he ran into a chair and sported a big red grid on his face a couple of days. He is also learning to jump, which is hillarious because he doesn't get any air, but thinks he does really great, by the way he claps and cheers himself.







I don't think these feats would win Ivan any medals, but Kim made sure he is cheering for his momma's country. In fact, tonight we watched 3 insane olympians speed down a track at 120 km/h (70miles) with nothing for protection but a helmet. 2 of them were Canadians and they won gold and silver. Oh yeah! I do have to say that while American's have an advantage of a greater population pool to pull from, Canadians don't have much to do 8 months of the year but play in the snow and ice, so it is only logical that Canadians would do well. Ivan did start spinning and "jumping" when the speed skating came on and clapped at the end of the song. What he lacks in technical ability he makes up for in timing!!


Love and kisses to all our friends and family!!!

I love picture #2. It says, "oh joy. Mom's making me wear the canada shirt."

It's great that Ivan can spin, jump and clap. What will be next?
Love the expression on his face in that last one.
