Sticks and mud. February 20th, 2010.

Today, we took Ike to...

the Botanic garden!

So he could play with sticks and mud.

Hat guys. February 19th, 2010.

Snowflake face. February 18th, 2010.

Ike will play peek-a-boo with anything.

We had a snowy swing this afternoon.

More snow! February 17th, 2010.

More snow!

It's a Valentine! February 16th, 2010.

What is it?

A Valentine from Gramma and Grampa Forbes!

On a tear! February 15h, 2010.

Ike tore apart the bookstore today.

And back home he tore apart the pantry!

Ike does Valentine's. February 14th, 2010.

Ike serenaded me for Valentine's day.

And he took the garbage out.

What more can I ask for?!

We also made some valentines for each other. Ike and Dan did a great job. Hopefully I'll post pictures of them when I find them.

Strings, big and small. February 13th, 2010.

Ike played the biggest and smallest stringed instruments in the house today.

Early Valentine. February 12th, 2010.

Ike was exceptionally animated at breakfast this morning.

And we opened an early valentine from Grandma Ann. It was a little black Charlie dog! We have to admit, initially Ike was more interested in the sweet treats that came along with him--little pink and red dog bones.

Sledding! February 11th, 2010.

Today we got bundled up, grabbed bear, he is of the polar variety, after all...

...and went sledding in the park!

All that snow made Ike thirsty.

Trying on my hat for size.
