This is Us!: July 2011

Waaahh! A big sooky sob from me!! Where in the world has the last year gone and when did Ivy turn one already? Saying that though, I really love watching my girls grow and develop and become their own little person. Ivy is certainly her own little self! She's proving to be 1 turning 5, wanting to do everything the girls are doing but getting frustrated because she's um...one!

Some things that she is doing now are:

1. She loves to dance. I especially love her attempt to do a 'twirl'.
2. When she sees our chickens she likes to say 'bub, bub, bub' but sometimes get's confused half way
through and says 'ub, ub, ub'
3. Loves being outside and exploring. Especially with sand.
4. When she chucks a tantrum (yes, my one year old is doing that) she's very careful not to hit her head
hard when she goes on the ground and rolls over. Haha! One of my favs to watch!
5. She points at EVERYTHING. I sometimes catch her with her hand beside herself in the 'point'
position waiting for something to point at!
6. She has 3 big sisters that absolutely adore her.

When I see all the girls around Ivy playing with her I often think how awesome it must be for her to come into the family at this time...so many people around her that love her!

Lots of love from her sisters...

I planned my last first birthday party EVER! for this little munchkin. A ladybug theme was decided and I'm so glad I did because doesn't she make the cutest ladybug!
