Ike is 16 Months!





Sitting so big on the ledge.





I think he was surprised I was allowing this!








 We just had Ike's 15 month appointment, and his stats are as follows:  24.6 lbs (70%), and 32.25 in (70%).  The doctor was really impressed with Ike's vocabulary (he says about 10 words most people can understand and probably 5-10 more that I can figure out).  He's still only rocking the 6 teeth, hoping he gets a few more soon :) 

Here is what our big guy has been up to over the past month!

Ike has really gotten into books lately.  He says "book" really clearly and will sit and read by himself or with somebody else for a pretty long time (15-30 minutes).  







Looks like he is making a bunny face.













He loves to be chased around the house and is getting decent about hiding from us (this is probably not a good thing!).  Yesterday I caught him standing on the washing machine.  Not really sure how he got up there.  He is fantastic at peekaboo and will play it forever.






Where's Ike?














Gets him every time.










He is super into any kind of arts and crafts (mostly just whatever Dave happens to be doing).  He only occasionally eats the paints, playdoh, etc. so I feel like we are improving in that regard!








Trying out the pasta that they play with.  Was not as tasty as he hoped it would be.






Notice his blue mouth.   Wonder how that happened?












Ike and Dave have really started playing well together (most of the time), so Ike has been wanting to do everything that Dave does.  







He put on the helmet then pointed and grunted at the bike until I put him up on it.




He loves seeing himself in the camera. 










As I mentioned above, his vocabulary is really growing lately, and he has finally started showing his skills with animal sounds.  Here's a video.  All of a sudden he knows 10 or so after refusing to do them for so long.  Stubborn kid!

So that's Ike.  He is such a fun kid!  I am off to finish packing for Florida (woohoo!).  No post for a while, but I will update when we get back late next week.
