Today is Ike's 9 month birthday! It also happens to be his cousin Parker's 2 month!!! And they are together to celebrate! Sue, Ike and I drove up Sunday and are staying until Thursday. This is the first time they have actually met. They both love licking him! It has been an awesome week so far! They went on their longest trail at the river with Parker's date Lily.

My WATER baby!

It was a gorgeous fun afternoon for us! The weather was in the lower 80s, the sun was shining, and the ocean water was still warm at Fort Morgan.  Ike usually doesnt really like water with waves but he swam like crazy today! We wanted to take a video of that but he prefered we all be out in the ocean together so we couldnt take the phone. So here he is bothering his sister as usual.

Ike is 8 months old now and is W I L D!
But he is also smart, sweet, and goofy as all get out.
His favorite new trick is drinking out of the bathtub, he can even turn it on!!!
Problem is, he doesn't turn it off. Hello expensive water bill!

Question of the day: What do the 2 folks in the pictures below have in common?

Answer: They weigh the exact same right now!!!!

Ike is almost 8 months old and Kathy is 35 and just had a baby 3 weeks ago.

So what does that mean? Ike is a big boy and Kathy is amazing : ) oh and my nephew is the best baby on the planet!

Wow, what a weekend! Shane dropped me off just in time to meet Parker! He is the tiniest , most awesome, baby!!! The kiddos stayed at a nice hotel complete with a pond full of ducks. Shane and I got some good quality time with our sweet snuggly nephew. Ike got to see his grandpa Jones and both Boaz grandparents as well as Auntie. Best weekend ever for us besides the fact that Ike ate the hotel shampoo, room key and some of the couch ;) Ike is tuckered out in the back of the jeep from all the excitement and Susie made herself a comfy fortress! Shoutout to Parker's parents for sharing their perfect angel with us! Look how good his momma looks just after his birth!
