Stop the Presses.....Vachas go for a walk and bring the dog

Holy Moly..You're not gonna believe this but we all went for a walk tonight. The weather could not have been better for our first family stroll. Ian slept the whole time while Maddy, on the other hand, sniffed the whole time. Due to the success of our first walk, I think we will tackle the Grand Canyon next.

8 lbs. and counting.....

Ian dreamt of Metal last night.

Ian's Intro to Star Wars

We checked out the great Star Wars exhibit at the Ft Worth Museum of Science & History today. Ian was great. He slept the whole time. We saw all sorts of props and costumes used in filming all of the Star Wars films. Needless to say, I totally geeked out.

Ian's so brave, he sleeps at the sight of a Wampa.

A Visit From the Rombachs

Amy's brother and family came by for a visit. All were interested in holding the little fella except for Dane. We tried to tell him that it would not affect his new hip status as a teenager but he would not budge. No worries, Dane will be throwing him around before too long.

I am One Month Old!!!

Yesterday, Ian turned One Month Old. My how time flies. We are pretty sure he is in the 6 lb. range. He continues to be an expert at eating, sleeping and pooping.

A Fathering Lesson From Scott

A couple of weeks ago, Scott came over to hang out and taught me a few things about fathering in the year 2007. Lets face it, if you can multitask, there is nothing you cannot get accomplished. By the time he was done, I was comfortable holding Ian and getting beat at Monopoly.

You Don't Say...

Ian's weigh-in today came in at 5 lbs, 12 oz., which is 10 oz. gain from last week. The nurses are quite impressed with his progress. In case you are wondering, this was an unassisted pose. Its all Ian, Baby!!!!

First Visit to Midlothian

Mommy and Ian ventured out to Midlothian to visit Grandma and Papa Rombach as well as Aunt Tracy and family. It is unclear if Ian was fussing over the fact that Mommy might have been driving 45 mph in the fast lanebecause she was looking behind her to see if Ian was doing OK. In case you didn't know, those mirrors that so many people use to watch their babys while they are driving do not work very well. That explains why Mommy had to pull over 4 times on the way there.

Just a Great Shot!!!

First Bath at Home Before & After

Ian had his first proper bath at home yesterday. Everything seemed to go well. One of the highlights included him turning his bath into a jacuzzi. After his bath, he passed out from exhaustion.
