Ivy Tries on Her Pants

Well, today I tried to put my pants on by myself. Let's see how I did!


Starting with the right leg. Um, wrong part of the pants!

Ok, there we go!

Ugh, I think they are on backwards!

Can't really walk with only one leg in!

Let's try this again.

Ok, I only have one leg in again!

This is nuts!

Oh, forget it!

Mommy said NO!

Yesterday I was getting into trouble all day and driving Mommy and Daddy crazy! I was touching things that weren't mine and Mommy kept saying NO so I gave her a dirty look! What a day!

Play Time With Maddie & Chloe

Today I went to my cousin Maddie's house to play. My Aunt Shannon was babysitting Maddie's other cousin (not related to me) Chloe. Maddie is 9 months old, Chloe is 11 months old and I am 17 months old. We made Aunt Shannon and Mommy run around like crazy people! We were into everything! Chloe had to go night-night, then Maddie didn't feel well so we had to leave. I had lunch and then went night-night for the first time without my pacifier! Mommy took it away! I did fine though and went right to sleep. After my nap we went to Target.

I also learned how to do the library storytime Choo-Choo song all by myself! I can say Dora's backpack, too! I am doing so well with my words!

Until tomorrow,

Ivy

Under the Weather

Since Wednesday I have been under the weather. Mom says it's because I have a double ear infection and I was running a fever. Too bad! I haven't been anywhere since Wednesday morning. Now I have a cough that has been keeping me up all night. I finally got some sleep Friday night, so I felt a little better on Saturday. Daddy is sick, too, so I am not the only one. Hopefully I will be better this week so Mommy can post some fun things we did and some pictures, too!

HALLOWEEN

Today is Halloween! I started my day off playing with Alex (my friend). He came over to my house to play. Tonight I went Trick-or-Treating for the first time! I got dressed up in my Dragon costume and had the bucket Mom made for me. I wasn't too sure why I got dressed up and took a bucket to people's houses but the payoff was worth it. I didn't know I would end up with candy! I got to stay up till 9pm because Mom said I was on a sugar high, whatever that means!

My Day with Maddie

Yesterday my cousin Maddie came over to play. We had a lot of fun! We played in my ball pit and Maddie kept tickling me. I thought it was SO funny!
