Ike Turns 19 Months

I am really getting behind on posts!  Almost two weeks late for Ike's monthly update...oops.  Our little guy is not so little anymore, and every time I look at him he seems to change!  







His monthly picture...a day late this time  :)













Ike has really started to mature lately.  For the most part, he is much more reasonable about sitting still through short things (like worship at church and going to the grocery store).  However, he has started experiencing some separation anxiety which is unfortunate for us!  Hoping he gets over that a little before we head to Vegas!

His vocabulary is coming right along.  I think my favorite Ike word is the one he uses interchangeably for lawn mower, grandma, and Elmo.  Unless you know the context, they all sound the same.  Although, he is usually saying lawn mower since that is his latest obsession.  When we were in Evansville last weekend, Ike and Dave both insisted that my dad take them on lawn mower rides.

 

Ike and Dave get along about as you would expect two young brothers to get along.  Basically they think each other is the best ever, until two minutes later when they are both screaming and Ike is sitting on Dave.  It sure is fun to watch them interact though! 


















Notice the fantastic child proofing (plastic bag tie) going on in the cabinet behind them.  I cannot wait until Ike quits getting into things!

Dave is physically unable to sit normally for a picture.

Ike spends most of his time sitting on this and watching out our front windows.

And he still loves the cozy coupe at Gamma's house.

Swimming for the first time this year.  And he's graduated to wearing floaties! 








Here is a video of Ike pointing out Dave's facial features while they were taking a bath the other day.
