Whew, we had an adventure filled first full week.  I am trying to make sure Ike is more socialized than his sweet sister so we keep him out and about! He went on a few family adventures in our woods and to an old Civil War battlegrounds park.  He rides very well in the car, we are working on having him sit in the seat by himself but he prefers to sit in my lap.

 He also went to Fort Rucker, where he really enjoyed the old building's cold floor! It's pretty funny how calm he is in public, the people that met him this week thought he was just so mild mannered and chilled! HA! Of course the second we got home he went haywire! But at least that means he knows what home is already.  He also really enjoyed planting plants with us. He loves to help mommie sweep too! But the highlight of the week was meeting his Boaz grandparents!

Oh yes, after 8 nights of me sleeping in the living room with him we tried the bathroom with a baby gate. This seems to be working well. I can see him from the bed. I still have to get up a few times a night for him to go potty but he has his food and toys in there and settles down fairly well. Susie was thrilled to have her night time bed situation back! This next week he has his 2nd puppy shots appointment on Wednesday. I will update his weight chart then. I don't see him gaining much but he has gotten taller.  He also will be meeting his Grandma BJ on her spring break!  At this point, Susie is beginning to tolerate him. She even plays with him every once in a while. He just loves her of course!  We are still working on no biting.....
