Ike had a great birthday party. I think his favorite thing was that big present wrapped in Cars wrapping paper, it didn't even matter what was in it, although he loved all his presents. He thanked his dad for the bike for about a week afterwards. He still can't quite ride it but he will be able to soon. I still can't believe my Ikers is 3, he's turning into such a big boy.
And you wonder why there aren't many pictures of Ian, he moves.
I can't even believe my sweet little Ikers is 3 now. He has been a joy every day.
We had a birthday party for Ike last night. I can't find my camera right now but Brittany took some pictures I'll post soon. Ike got a cool bike from his dad and pajama's from his grandma plus alot of other cool gifts. Thanks to all of Ryans family for making his birthday party so fun. He really cleaned up this year. He's really becoming a talker and is almost completely potty trained! Yeah!
Both my boys got Chicken Pox. Ian got the first and Ike followed about 2 days later. I had Shingles about 2 weeks before they got them which is where they got them.
They don't look that bad in the picture but Ike's back was covered. Luckily they are all crusted over and so hopefully not contagious anymore. It's been a less then fun week though.
While Ike is mowing the lawn, Ian gets to chill in his little walker, and I pretend to garden.
My boys love their cousin Jace. Ike talks about him everyday and gets so excited when we go see him.
Jace has always been so sweet to Ike, but he's even sweeter to Ian. We have to tell him to stop kissing him so much. He often tells Ian 'oh I love you so much'.
Jace has been a great example to Ike of how he should treat his brother. I'm thankful that Ike and Ian have such a good role model for being so nice and showing affection to his cousins.I just wanted to make mention of a post that Ryan's cousin recently made. They almost lost their sweet little boy after he received the Rota virus Vaccine. They went through a horrific experience recently which I would hate to have happen to anyone else I know. I don't know all the specifics but you can go to Ryan's Cousins Blog and what happened last June and read their thoughts on it all.
Thanks to Ryan's mom and the doctor she works for I've become very careful about what vaccines I give my boys and when I give it to them. The doctor will only give one at a time and won't give within 2 months of each other. I'm not against vaccines I just think as mom's it's our responsibility to be as careful with our children's health as we can be.
Ike loves watching video's on YouTube of kids playing with their Cars from the movie Cars. So I figured I'd do a video of him so he can watch himself instead.
To compare and contrast here is Ike at 6 months old.
and here's sweet Ian. He's just learned to suck in his bottom lip which is usually accompanied by a funny noise.
He's got beautiful blue eyes and the sweetest little round nose that I can't stop kissing. He's strong and starting to get mobile. He likes to push up his butt and skoot on his head. I know he'll be crawling very soon, not sure if I'm ready for that.
He really is the sweetest little baby. I thought Ike was a good baby but Ian is even better. I took him to my bookclub last night and he was a little angel, thank goodness.
