Not only I am struggling to blog, but I don't always record enough of Ivy's milestones. Here's what she does right now... or recently - ish. :)
playing ring-around-the-rosies with her siblings.
Grace LOVES matching with Ivy. Love the hand-me-downs from when Lydia and Ellie used to match. So cute.
and here's Lydia and Ellie in them!! Christmas 2003 :)
Ivy LOVES stools and the bathroom sink. She loves to try all the toothbrushes she can find, she loves to use brushes and combs on herself, on people's legs or hair or just carry them around the house.
She fell asleep on the rug outside the shower WHILE I showered. And didn't wake up when I squeezed out or blowed my hair dry. Poor tired girly!
She loves bowls and spoons. She was cooking with Carver that day and driving him CRAZY. Pretty funny to have him be the one saying, "she's getting into my stuff!" He's always the messer-upper. :)
And here is a better shot of her... with food on her face. Probably goldfish. She hopes to grow big and strong eating only goldfish and squeezy baby food. :)
Ivy will be 15 months on Monday!
She just learned to play the harmonica.
Today she mastered climbing onto the benches and then onto the table.
She used to say "bye" and "uh-oh" then traded for "go."
She's working on "uh-oh" again.
She LOVES to color. She used to be happy with unsharpened pencils and a pocket hymnal, but it's the real thing for her now. She knows where to find all writing utensils and paper. Watch out world.
She has a good strong head shake for "no."
She also shakes her head vigorously in the same direction for "yes" but adds a "gah" sound to distinguish the gestures.
She is a mover. She loves to be outside, moving and lately climbing.
She doesn't like to be restrained. Errand days are the pits.
She's right handed. Golden blond curls. Blue eyes.
She's built like a tank!
She loves baths and now showers, too, but HATES the towel part. I dry her off while she walks away.
Still just 4 teeth!
Okay, I'll sleep better tonight without this guilt.
Of course, I just traded it for the realization that I need to take more pictures and videos of this little one before she's seriously all grown up. She is getting big WAY too fast!
