Ivy Marie

Figured I'd write a blurb about what Ivy is doing and what she enjoys these days. She is sleeping well and usually takes 2 naps a day. She loves to watch Deisen play. And if Deisen is around, regardless of how tired she is, she will stay awake and watch him! It's cute and annoying all at the same time. Lately she's been throwing her hands up over her head, hands held together, head tilted back (hard to explain), she will also squint her eyes and wrinkle her nose (pic 1), this is my absolute favorite face right now! She loves to eat avocado, sweet potato, butternut squash, applesauce, and she has come around to a liking for bananas :) She gets all giddy when I bring out her puffy rice snacks and gets all sorts of grumpy when the snack are gone. She loves to be tickled and just can't contain herself when Deisen blows raspberries on her belly.



*I wrote this in the beginning of December and since we are about to hit February I thought I would update on what Ivy is up to now that she is 9 months. My Ivy Marie is a chunky monkey! Sky rocketing off the charts in both weight and height, and is now fully in 18 month clothing. She still loves, more than anything, to watch and play with Deisen. Her current favorite activity with him is to take a bath! That girl freaks out when the bathroom door is open and she can crawl over to the tub. She loves to just pull herself up and look in, gazing around at all the bath toys and what could be if mom would just let them take bath #4! Seriously, these two take an average of two to three baths a day, they sparkle by the end of the night :) Ivy is crawling like a champ and is become quite the couch/fire place walker. Jeffrey and I just noticed her doing this spinning thing on her bum, on the hardwood floors, but have been unsuccessful of getting a video. She still loves all the above mentioned foods, but also now enjoys strawberries and blueberries mashed up. She has beautiful blue eyes and still no teeth and she looks like Jeffrey. I have special hopes that my baby girl will grow up to be a mini-me, I guess we'll see. Our little Ivy is always gabbing with "Na Na Na Na" and "Ba Ba Ba Ba". She also loves to unload all the spoons and plates from the dishwasher and bang a lovely tune. We love our little Ivers:)
