While his mother and father are busy working, Ivo is busy growing up. Since I last posted, he has been eating real food (toast!), learned how to clap, has SIX teeth and has had a million babysitters! Every time he gets a new one, he gleefully holds his arms out to her! Pick me up! I feel great about hiring people to entertain him. This is one kid who has no stranger anxiety. Whatsoever. His personality is really becoming apparent. The Sun in Gemini/Moon in Leo profile fits him like a glove. He loves people, loves to be out, traveling, hanging out with the peoples of the world. He has a smile for everyone, from grocery store checkers to cute coffee shop girls, to homeless Vietnam veterans. The only time he gets mad is when he is hungry, tired, or being ignored. Especially when he is being ignored.

These pictures are from the last day we saw John. When he comes back in 2 months, Ivo will be almost like a teenager. Every day he gets stronger and more determined to GROW UP NOW! When I hold his squiggly squirmy body, I know that pretty soon he won't be a baby anymore. He won't want to be held by mama, he will only want to RUN RUN RUN. Into the future.
