In the NICU, he quickly developed a reputation for being feisty. He pulled out his ventilator tube when he didn't feel like being intubated and put up a heck of a fight when it was time to have his diaper changed; But that's my kiddo, he is strong-willed.
Four weeks after his birth, when the docs discovered that our 2 pound son would need surgery, they were not very optimistic. They gently warned us that it was going to be tricky to operate on baby that was born so early, and that had been so sick. Surprisingly, (to the docs, not us, we knew we had tons of friends and family praying for us) the surgery was a breeze; But that's my kiddo, he's a fighter.
A few days ago, while walking him to his room for bed, he turned around so he could go give his Daddy another kiss on the cheek; That's my kiddo, he loves his Dad.
And last night, after several minutes of whining, I figured out that all he wanted to do was sit in my lap, read a book, and snuggle with me before bedtime; That's my kiddo, he sure knows how to put a smile on his Mom's face.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY IAN!!

Hi, Melanie. I don't know if you remember me or not, but I'm Sara (Beveridge) Morgan. We went to church together at Brentwood in 2003/2004. I got to your blog from Rachel's. I enjoyed looking about your blog, and I absolutely love this post. It brought tears to my eyes. I hope all is well with you!
Happy Birthday Ian! Come play with John Paul sometime soon!
