20 Months of Ike

Well we hit the twenties...this definitely feels like it happened too fast.  Oh well, I am sure I will be saying the same thing when he hits his actual twenties.  Ike is one crazy kid and just awesome to have in our family.  He is so animated lately and really expresses his likes and dislikes with great attitude. 






Was not feeling like having his picture taken at this moment.





One second later, he's all smiles.













He has started to really manipulate us in the past month.  Ike always knows what he wants and is not afraid to throw a tantrum or two to try to accomplish his goals.  He is constantly trying to eat strange foods (like blue cheese dressing with a spoon) and is so baffled when I tell him no.  If there is one thing Ike doesn't like to hear, it's no.  Probably the case with all kids his age I suppose.

Ike loves to get into everything still, and I have recent proof of this.






He sharpied his face while I was making dinner.  









He would spend (and does often) all of his day outside.  A little rain is not going to get him down!





Soaked!











He kept saying "rain on head".  Maybe rain is a hard concept for kids to understand?  He sure seemed confused by it!







Here's a video of him experiencing the rain.








I think he was trying to be some kind of villain...maybe bag hand man?  Not very scary....






Ike really loves bath time right now.  Here's a video of him pouring cold water on himself.










Other interesting Ike tidbits...he is in the 88th percentile for height and 65th for weight (weighing in at 26.5 lbs).  Total opposite of Dave at this age!  Josh has taught him to say "ohhhh yeah!" and do this weird dance whenever he really wants something (like that blue cheese dressing!).  I have to remember to take a video of it.   He really really likes to pee in the toilet, so I am sort of thinking he may potty train early.  We'll see about that.  Ike's vocabulary is still increasing every day and he is getting really good at knowing everyone's names-even many of Josh's coworkers.  I am hoping he does fantastic for my mom while we're gone over this long weekend, maybe it'll help his separation anxiety.  Nothing like going cold turkey!  :)
