15 months and 15 things about Ike

Ike will be 15 months old on May 12th. We love him so much and are extremely grateful to have him in our lives.

1. He is NOT a morning person. He wakes up every day between 6:30 and 7:00 sounding quite ornery.

2. He loves books. Sometimes he'll even give them kisses and hugs.

3. One of his favorite toys is his set of stacking cups. He loves to stack them, knock them down, or get us to put them on our heads as a hat.

4. After we sing to him, he'll clap to show his appreciation.

5. He loves Elmo. He can't say it yet, but he does say "Mo."

6. He enjoys unplugging the cable for our internet connection. I think it's because the light on the port changes color when he unplugs it.

7. He knows several animal sounds. When we ask him what a cow says, he'll respond with "Moo." He also knows the sounds that a horse, pig, dog, chicken, and a duck make.

8. He strongly dislikes having his diaper changed. We have to sing him a song and give him something to play with just to get through it.

9. Getting him dressed in the morning is quite a chore, since he wiggles around a lot!

10. He loves to play with water. One of his favorite activities is the water table. During mealtimes, he'll spit out some of his water or milk in an attempt to turn his highchair into a makeshift water table.

11. He gets jealous if we are on the phone too long. Talk time can be extended if we use the speaker phone and ask the person to talk or sing to Ike.

12. He loves cheese! I spell the word if I need to say it around him because otherwise, he'll want some at that moment.

13. He likes to munch on graham crackers. He calls them cookies. He actually says "cook-kay," and it sounds so cute!

14. He has taken a very relaxed approach to swimming lessons. He doesn't do a lot of splashing or kicking, but he seems to delight in just being in the water.

15. In the car, he likes to hold his blue and white dog and a book. Companionship and reading material=happy Ike. :)
