Baggett reality, Take 2- Ivan speaks

We were at the park with some dear friends on a most gorgeous spring day and Ivan was having a wonderful time. The geese were so hungry they came right up to us and actually had to be shooed off by the daddy who is fearless. Mommy who is not typically scared of them couldn't believe their audacity and stayed behind with Ivan. Ivan's new word is flower. He loves to point out flowers everywhere we go. He likes to smell them too. He also likes the word yellow and is getting clearer in saying his name. Watch it all here, on Baggett reality video!


The funniest new trick of Ivan's is to re-enact conversations where we correct him. Everytime I read his rainbow book, he would yank on the ribbons, then loudly say "no", then pat the book and say "nice". I finally asked Brian if he'd told Ivan no and to be nice with the book. He said that happened once and now Ivan re-enacts it every time. He also grabs an empty can of shaving cream out of the garbage, says "daddy, daddy", then "no" and puts it back, then claps at himself! What a little actor!

Putting a video clip on your blog is a pretty good trick. How do you do it?
Does Ivan take you out for exercise often?

I learnt from Janet and Deana to do video clips on the blog. Just visit www. youtube.com and sign up for a free account. Once you shoot a video with your camera and download it onto your computer, go to the site and upload a video. They will give you a link address you can link to from the compose page or will give you embedded code so that you can have it right there. Just paste the code to your compose page. Be sure to click on the option "allow outside sites to play video" or it won't play from the blog.

Glad you all enjoyed it! I know it's fuzzy, but that's the best we can do. Brian says now that I know how to post video, I should put some of the best from the past year, like when Ivan imitates the dog. Did I tell you, we've caught him lapping from the pet water dish. I guess some things he doesn't grow out of as quick!
