Ike's 1 Year Appointment

Ike had is 1 year appointment on the 28th. Here are his stats:

25.5 lbs (95%) and 31.75 inches (95)%

Ike remembered the doctor's office and was NOT happy to be there!

Ike Can Slide!

At 12 months, this boy can slide all by himself.

Here are the two of them together. Talk about cuteness!

The Red Racer

 As a gift, we got a bike trailer (aka "The Red Racer") that converts into a double jogging stroller. Here we are hiking up Tumamock on a beautiful evening.

About halfway up the hill, Evie fell asleep...

 ...and Ike got a chance to love on Evie for awhile

Here is a cute photo from when we took the kids to the children's museum

Here both kiddos are fast asleep in the Red Racer again

Ike's Birthday Celebration (Part 2)

Back home we opened presents, had dinner, and ate cake!

Ike was ready to get the party started

The proud parents

Ike got some great gifts, including a car, new sunnies and 

shoes (extra wide!), and a hammer and peg set.

Evie thought Ike might want to share :)

Evie got a few big sister gifts 

Skype time with Nana and Granddaddy 

Dinner time! 

 Evie made a penguin at preschool, which we used as the centerpiece

 Ike's birthday cake

(my homemade chocolate cake with whipped cream frosting and blueberries)

Actually, I made several small cakes. The one with pink sprinkles was for Evie, though she really wanted all three of them.

Waiting patiently for the cake and candles 

Time for the fun! Here are several videos and TONS of pictures of the cake spectacle 

(sorry, I got a little carried away):

 

  

Post-bath and post-cake happiness

At the end of the night, we looked at pictures of Matt's 1st birthday

Ike's Birthday Celebration (Part 1)

We had a fun day celebrating Ike's big day. First, we went out to breakfast at Poco and Mom's, and then we went to the zoo.

Ike ate the creamers.

Naturally, Evie ate the guacamole.
