He really loved his number 7 balloon and took it with him everywhere!
His requested cake: funfetti with marshmallow icing.
He really wanted a sleepover for his birthday so we invited a couple of his friends over (Kyson, Bennet, and Jacob) to hang out.
Ready for cake.
He basically tried to spit all over his cake. Not at all surprising really. I love Bennett's face here!
Headed to the pool.
Sleepover was a success! The boys all did great and went to bed pretty early actually.
Stacey and Elli joined us Saturday morning and we took a trip to 50 East for breakfast.
Ike is seriously so much fun. He's always down for an adventure and I can always talk him into going on a walk to "explore" something. He and Dave have been venturing out on their own a little more on their bikes and scooters lately which makes me nervous but they've been doing great with it.
He's very into Fortnite but prefers still to watch his random youtube videos on kids surprising other kids or whatever else is the newest thing. He's been reading the Bad Guys book series and our small books of choice have been anything nonfiction (lately it's been this series on invasive species that's pretty fascinating). Ike does fantastic in school-we just had parent teacher conferences last week and the best thing I heard was that he's the first to help a student who is struggling or gets hurt. Made my momma heart so proud!
He listens to a wide variety of music but I think his favorite right now are a couple of Christian rappers: Canon and NF. I hear him listening to them a lot upstairs (very loudly). He wants to be an archaeologist when he grows up, probably because he's very into smashing open rocks right now! Ike still loves to snuggle up with us which I hope he never grows out of!
His favorite color is still black but sometimes he'll say purple. Brussels sprouts are his favorite food (who is this kid?) and he loves getting that $5 box at Taco Bell if we're eating fast food.
White's got this awesome climbing wall at the pool-he's able to climb both of them very fast and comes to climb them about 4 times a week right now.
On one of our adventures!
And now a look at Ike through the years on his birthday!
Look at that squishy face!
He really loved his cake on his first birthday.
That year he was obsessed with lawn mowers.
Squinty smiling in mis-matched jammies.
Cheesing with his birthday button.
He got his awesome commando vest for his 5th birthday.
And finally last year with his cake pops!
This boy brings so much joy to our lives and never fails to put a smile on my face (even when he's being ornery!). Can't wait to see what the next year of his life brings!
