Ivey, Ivey and more Ivey!

We've been spending as much time as possible in the mountains to avoid the heat in Charlotte. It is usually at least 15 degrees cooler at the condo. Ivey enjoys hiking a lot - but who wouldn't want to be carried in a bouncing chair? Not sure how Joe does it - I used the carrier on a walk in San Diego and only lasted 15 minutes! She weighs 13.5 lbs now.

I went back to work part time June 1. It was tough the first day, but I was fortunate enough to be able to transition slowly by working 1/2 days for a few weeks. Ivey doesn't seem to mind one bit. Her babysitter Julie is great and we are so fortunate to have her.

My new toy in the mountains that I haven't quite figured out
Mommy just uses it as a swing for now which I love

So yummy!

Girls Weekend in the Mountains

Nana, Natalie, Gramma, Aunt Allison, Aunt Jamie, Sarah, Ivey and I spent the first weekend in June at the mountain condo. For some reason Ivey finds it very amusing when people make spitting noises at her. She learned how to spit herself while we were in the mountains and started doing it first thing every morning so we would do it back to her. So silly, but we'll do anything to hear that precious laugh!

Partying in the Park

We went to Dan Nicholas Park to celebrate Jackson's eighth and Adam's fourth birthdays in May. Ivey decided to nap instead of ride the carousel, but she did get to ride the train.
