Best Friends!

Ian and Pike are best friends -according to Ian that is. If Pike could speak he might not agree -but he still loves him. Appreciate this picture because it took me forever to get. Ian does not like Pike looking out his window -he pushes him out of the way immediately. Then pike tries again and Ian begins swinging at him. It is pretty funny to watch but the two of them still enjoy playing tug-o-war together with Pike's toys.

Ian loves to share his food with Pike -but only if Ian's mouth is currently full of food.
Ian has also discovered with all of his walking that he is bigger than Pike and he tackles him -we are talking bear hug tackle. Pike hates it but deals with it really well. He usually see it coming because Ian gets this mischievous grin on his face and takes off running. Yes running -not walking with a wobble but running. He is growing up so fast he now has three teeth on the top with the fourth on on its way and two on bottom. He loves climbing on top of things and then sliding back down them. He is getting really good at going down the stairs the right way...he can get off our our bed (but keep in mind it is only a couple feet off the floor), and he can get off the couch. It is really nice because when I am rushing to get ready for work in the morning I just leave him in our bed turn on Little Einsteins and know that he will be fine. When he is ready to get down he turn turns around and slides down then proceeds to come in and see how well he can destroy the bathroom. He is a smart kid and is growing up much too fast in just over a month he will be one year old -crazy how time fly's!

That picture is awesome! Tracker runs away when he sees Ian coming to tackle him also, although he probaby isn't quite as fast as Pike since he has been acting like an old man dog since he was like 3 years old (he is 7 now).

Just you wait! 1 hits and a magic button is pushed to make them grow up even faster! They are no longer babies, but full on toddlers! (I miss my baby that would let me hold and snuggle her!) This stage is lots of fun though! Livie can repeat just about anything you say and she says it totally clear! We need to get together when things aren't crazy (maybe summer?!) Ian is so handsome!
