Ivy: 12 months old

Ivy's 12 Month Stats:

Height: 
75th percentile
Weight: 25 lbs 8 oz
95th percentile

Our baby girl turned one on the 9th of April.  Tears!  We can't believe another first birthday has come and gone.  But we are happy that she is healthy, growing and happy.  Such a bittersweet milestone.

This little lady loves loves loves her sis.  She is always looking for her.  We can already tell these two are going to be quite the troublemakers together.  They kinda already are.  Millie and Ivy are the best of friends.  They watch out for each other, and Ivy cries when Millie cries and is very concerned when she's not happy.  They love each other and we really love to see their relationship and how they interact.

She loves dad.  She gets so excited when he gets home from work.  She crawls really fast over to him and waits at his feet for him to pick her up. 

She gives great snuggles.  If you tell her to give you snuggles, she will nuzzle her head into you and give you loves.  So sweet.

Ivy loves the bath.  She gets really excited when it's time to get in and fusses when it's time to get out.  She loves to try to grab the water-and it is my favorite to watch.  

She loves animals, but mostly ducks.  Whenever she sees a duck it sounds like she is trying to say "quack!" or "duck."  Ask her what a lion says, and she roars.   

She enjoys books.  Give her a book and she will sit and open and close the book for hours.  They keep her happy in the car, while I'm in the shower, getting ready, or just when she's bored.  She loves them.  And we love that she loves them.

She can say, "dada!" "na-na!" (banana) "Hah!" (hi), "uh oh!" "ah-puh!" (apple)  She is also very good at jabbering.

She loves to wave.  She will wave at anyone.  If you say, "can you wave?"  She immediately puts her hand up and waves.  It's our favorite.  I think she loves the attention she gets from it.  Speaking of waving-she is obsessed with the toilet right now.  She loves to play in it.  If you can't find her, the first place to check is the toilet.  Disgusting, I know.  I tell her "no no! That's yucky!" She looks at me at just waves.  haha.  It's so funny.

She just learned how to blow kisses.  It is the sweetest!!

She loves food.  Is obsessed with smoothies, bananas, oranges and edamame and loves meat.  Doesn't care for bread or rice.  She's  a pretty good eater.  When I feed her she opens her mouth really wide and says "ahhh!" until I put the food in her mouth.  

Ivy has four teeth.  Two on the bottom, one middle tooth on the top and one of her side teeth.  We call it her snaggle tooth.  For a short time, it was the only tooth up there.  Made for some cute smiles!  






She's obsessed with balls and balloons.  She will literally wrestle them and roll all over the floor playing with them.  Big or small she loves them.  


She's got a great personality.  Always happy, smiling but rarely giggling.  Millie can always make her laugh.  Mom, has to tickle her quite a bit to get giggles out of her.  Such a fun age!


She loves to play peek-a-boo.  If you hide behind anything, she will search for you.  And grins the whole time.  She loves it.  




She is a very sweet, easy going baby girl.  We love her and are grateful she is a part of our family. 

Happy 1 year baby girl!!

I can not believe 10 months has come and gone.  It sure does fly by.  Especially the second time around.  I can only imagine the third, fourth and fifth child.  Crazy!
This girl has quite the personality.  A little stubborn, sweet and fun!  





We sure love this happy girl of ours!
Happy 10 months baby girl! (on the 9th of Feb)

Christmas 2012

Christmas came and went so quickly this year.  Luckily we were all able to head to Utah to spend time with family.  I was there for about a whole month.  It was a great month, and I wish I could go back.  My girls, especially Millie, had fun with all her cousins.  She always had to know where Grandpa was, and would leave my side the second she woke up to head down to her cousins bedrooms.

On Christmas eve we did our traditional fondue dinner.  Filling, but delicious, like always!  The kids ate pizza, and then headed to bed so the adults could enjoy the night worry free.




Sarah was the fun aunt that night.  The kids played a few games of ring-around-the-rosie and sang Christmas songs.  Rudolph the red nosed reindeer was a hit...with Sarah!



The kids performed the Nativity.  It really was so cute.

Later that night, the elf came and brought the girls matching jammies.  That is one smart elf!  He knows the way to this mama's heart.  Matching!



And the dinner table.  No pictures were taken at dinner as we were all having such a good time. 


The kids woke up at a decent hour and waited patiently to see their loot.  They were all really excited!



Ivy's first Christmas was very relaxing.  She loved watching all the kids open their presents.


These Mickey Mouse figurines weren't wrapped and naturally they were the first thing Millie grabbed.  Christmas could've been over after them.  That was all she needed.  She played with them for a long while and then realized she had presents to open. 







good morning!


There wasn't all smiles that morning.  We did have a few tears...probably because she couldn't find her baby's bottle...or someone was playing with her new dollhouse.




Best aunt. Tired babe.



Millie still talks about Christmas.  Any new fun toy she sees, she says she wants it for Christmas.  And she still talks all about her cousins, grandma and grandpa and flying on the airplane.  We miss them. 

 We had a great Christmas with family remembering the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ.  How grateful we are for family to surround ourselves with during the holidays.
