We celebrated the beginning of the New Year in the mountains where it was warm enough to hike but way too wet. We left before the extreme cold settled in - we all can do without temps in the single digits! Then, we celebrated Christmas one more time with a visit from Grandma & Grandpa.
Ivey is getting so big and is turning into a little toddler before our eyes. She no longer drinks from a bottle, has graduated to the big tub, has learned to climb the stairs on her own, brushes her own teeth and hair (sometimes with the same brush), eats anything and everything, dances at the first note of any type of music and is still sweet as ever. I am convinced she understands everything we say and do. She answers my yes/no questions with a nod or shake of her head. She has a little mischievousness in her which we could do without. She shakes her head no and laughs after she does something she knows she's not supposed to do (mostly throwing food on the floor or eating toilet paper). But, she's so darn cute, it really is hard to be mad!

I love to take things in and out of baskets, drawers, etc.
Mommy loves it when I throw all the folded laundry on the floor. |
