Camouflaged Ivan
The scientist in me wonders if he is prey hiding himself or a predator lying in wait.
Ivan’s Expressions
Sometimes I like to pretend to be Ivan’s voice.
Here I imagine him thinking, “Are you sure these are the people I was meant to be sent home with? I have some concerns. Could I speak to the management about this?”
Some photos of Ivan from his 3rd day taken at the hospital.
First Picnic
This was Ivan’s first picnic.
Sure, it was just leftover pizza and juice boxes, but that’s okay Ivan was just having milk anyhow. We all enjoyed the sunshine and the gentle breeze.
More photos of Ivan relaxing.
You know the saying. . . “relaxing like a baby.”
Ivan shows the rest of us how to relax.
He really likes to put his arms up like this.
Here he is zonked in Eric’s lap.
What? You think these pants are too big?

Footprint Project
The hospital printed Ivan’s footprint shortly after birth.
Ezri wanted to add a big sister footprint, so we made it a project to step in paint and create this.
