Time is just flyin' by with this sweet, silly boy!
These days he can't be found without 2 very important items... his "no-no?"s. Meaning "don't know?" His little green blanky and binky both go by "no-no?" because he's usually looking for them and when we ask him where they are he shrugs his shoulders, puts his hands in the air and reply's "no-no?!" See that tiny little tag? When Ike was having all of his ear infections this past spring, he started tickling the inside of his ears with the tag, I assume for some pain relief. Well now, even after his surgery it has become a habit. He loves to tickle himself with the tag... eyes, nose, ears, fingers, toes... it's quite a source of comfort for the little guy, especially when he's getting tired.
We had his first official ride in the chair at Daddy's office.... and he let dad take a peek in his mouth! Don't worry... if you come to the office as a new patient, Brett promises to wear gloves and not fish-hook your cheek with his instruments! haha!
not sleeping... just working on his abs with momma!
Cardboard boxes are more fun than you'd think! This slide provided at least 30 minutes of entertainment!
Cutest little Bear Lake beach bum!! His new accessory has to be worn in all water that isn't chlorinated (it holds his ear plugs in) until the tubes fall out.
Relaxin with his buddy Thea!
He's obsessed with sharing Daddy's protein shakes... while wearing goggles??! It's a great way to sneak fruits and veggies into his daily menu. Parent Win!
Picking cherries with Gpa in Morgan
Shirts off... enjoying creamies in the late afternoon Summer sun! Does it get better than this?
Bluffdale Rodeo...uncle Bridger was the best sport and went out to the money run with Jet, and brought Ike back some winnings!
At 23 Months, Ike:
- has mastered drinking from a cup without making a complete mess down the front of himself... tipping it over when not actually drinking is a different story!
- only likes eggs or oatmeal for breakfast and most of the rest of his meals are liquid for the majority (Pediasure).
- loves to run, dance, listen to music, read books, and scream at his siblings (ususally to get them in trouble)!
- naps once/day for 2.5-3 hours
- loves to be in the water and has had such a fun summer, being at the lake, splash pads or in the kiddie pool or slip n slide at the house!
- is such a chill little guy still! For example... once the older kids woke up from naps they wanted out of their crib/room immmediately. When Ike wakes up he is content to just hang out in his crib...and sometimes gets upset with me when I come in to get him out!
- is obsessed right now with getting wipes or tissues out (ALL THE TIME) and "blowing" his nose then tossing them in the garbage.
