Precious Ivy Jane

Where do I begin with our Ivy Jane? She is smart...almost TOO smart! She's also dramatic...VERY dramatic! She's also INTENSE...VERY intense! But she's also HILARIOUS...SO hilarious! About two to three times a week she says something that Shelby & I look at each other like, "WHAT?! HOW DOES SHE KNOW THAT?!" She learns a lot from educational shows on tv...she's like a little sponge. Some of our favorite things right now are "The sun's brighting me!", instead of juice barrels, she calls them "juice barrows". We read a book called Each Peach Pear Plum & she calls the wicked witch the "wickey witch". She also likes to "run errands" and tell me when it's "chilly" outside! This morning she & Georgia were playing "church" & she said, "You want to go to church with me Georgia?! You do? Ok! That will be awesome! We'll have so much fun together playing, reading books, and learning about Jesus!" Precious words to this momma's ears. Here are some of my favorite pictures of her these last few weeks...

Being silly...she put a baby doll's gown on her head.

At Grandma & Paw Paw's house she loves to play with all of the "people". She worked for about 30 minutes one pretty afternoon and set up all of the people in their chairs around the different tables. She was so proud!

At the doctor...we were afraid it was the flu, but a sinus infection instead. Poor baby is going to have allergies like her momma.

A fever of 102.5 was not going to keep her from making silly faces!

The following day she couldn't attend MDO since she had fever the day before, so she "ran errands" with me & we ate lunch at Jason's Deli. Her lunch of choice? Kids salad bar & milk...and don't forget the free ice cream at the end!

 CRAZY girl...

 Did I say she was intense?! We had to run by Shelby's office the other day to pick up some paperwork & she was NOT HAPPY that he had to stay at work and we were going home...

AND...MY FAVORITE PICS! Yes, people, she's in BIG GIRL PANTIES!!! Everything has to be on her time so I didn't fight the potty training thing. She decided this week that she was ready & has had only a handful of accidents! We are about to get a big raise by not buying diapers any more...ahhhh...

 I love this little "panty bottom"!
