Ivy Almost One

Ivy is almost a year old (on the 16th!).  We can hardly believe it.  Where did the year go?

Some notes about Ivy.  She's a smart little thing.  I can see her brain working and learning.  She likes imitating what we do.  She'll pick up her shoes and set them on her feet.  She picks up a crayon or pencil and sets it on paper.  She loves playing peak-a-boo with her bedroom door, she loves opening and closing the door peaking out and giggling at you.  She likes putting on necklaces.  She loves gram crackers.

Her favorite word is "da-da!", which she often exclaims when Corey opens the door in the morning.  She doesn't say much else (unless you count general screams for things), but is getting better communicating with her hands (opening them for "gimme!" and things like that).

She is just about the sweetest thing ever.  She loves nuzzling into you when shes really happy, giggling, or sad.  She loves being in the thick of things, but she also likes exploring the house on her own.  She has her moments (most oftenly caused by her big sis), but is usually quick to bounce back.

She has 4 teeth officially (at least two more on the way).  She has two on bottom and two on top--although the top teeth aren't the front ones.  We'll have a vampire for a bit :)

It's scary how fast she's growing.  She is now mastering crawling, and can even get onto the couch when Noelle's chair is next to it.  She loves walking around when you hold her little hands.  Also, just look at this I captured yesterday:
"Look mom, no hands!"  I think the record I've caught her standing is for 5 or so seconds.  She's on her way to walking any day now.
