Banana test. June 3rd, 2009.

Ike did a banana taste test today.
Passable.

Why moms carry tic tacs. June 2nd, 2009.

We went to swimming today. Ike gets very sleepy after swimming.

And later on, we hung out in the park with dad.
Why moms carry tic tacs.

We made paella for dinner, but Ike had zucchini. Sorry Ike.

Koala Ike. June 1st, 2009.

Sleepy koala Ike.

Ridin' high. May 31st, 2009.

Ike likes to ride high.

The island. May 30th, 2009.

Today Ike tried the rice and carrot crackers we made.
Reviews were mixed and colorful.

And Dan had a show on Roosevelt Island, so we all got into the Jeep to check it out.
Ike was looking pretty surly on the way over.
I think because he was wearing sunscreen and maybe was a bit carsick.

Things brightened up significantly once we were out on the lawn.

Conducting water bottle investigations.

A boy's work is never done...
Filling in for the harp player in the band photo.

We even stopped by Mike and Alison's place later to see some saganaki.

Phones. May 29th, 2009

Talking to Dad on the phone.

Making some personal calls a little later.

Drumsticks. May 28th, 2009.

Ike likes to drum.

And the next time I looked, he had opened up the drum and found some drumsticks for himself.

He was quite pleased.
But he's too little for drumsticks so after this picture they were put away for another day.

And we showed him the telephone toy we got the other day.
He liked it.

Later, dad played some music down the street. We went to see some friends and check it out.

Back home, Ike employs his sock in a hawk impersonation.

Oh no! Dropped it midflight!
