Ivy's 2

Ivy's birthday came and went on Friday and I never sat down to write a post just about our little pretty.  

First of all, she's nearing the middle of the pack in her stats...she has previously been in the 9th percentile, but we're inching up on 40% here people!  25 lbs and 35 inches!  oh yeah!

Here's Ivy at 2:

Still sucks her thumb...her thumb is gross.  Her teeth stick out a little from the thumb suckage...and it's horribnle, but it's so cute, i can't stand it.  She still loves to twirl one of her ponies (so, if I have them up in nubs, one will soon not be a nub, and turn into a pony...so she's lopsided...and I kind of like it.)  She's got the awesome-est little grandma arms ever!  She has the teeny-tiniest feet.  She still mostly wears 18 months shirts, she won't keep a clippy in her hair, she loves to go to playgroup with her friends, She calls her nursery leaders and my friends mommy when I'm not there, and I love it..and I think they do, too.  She says "me too either" when Max and I both agree on something...because she wants in on the action.  She loves sharks, Junie's lip gloss, shovels, money (pennies) and climbing on Max's bed.  She calls people 'poopy head' all the time when she doesn't get her way (oh my gosh, how do I stop it?) She likes to eat oatmeal, and ham hocks and beans.  She tries to sneak my diet coke when I'm not looking, she loves to play with Max, she loves to torment Max and get him in trouble.  She does NOT enjoy being in a cart at the grocery store...except those forward facing carts at Target (oh, how i love target)...it could have something to do with the popcorn, too, but at no other store will she sit in a cart.  she likes to get into the car and her car seat by herself...she's adamant about it.  She is very careful with books, and loves to look at the pictures and read with max and I.  She dances around the room like she's galloping and her arms flap as she does it...hilarious.  She loves Lady Ga Ga and the Glee Cast version of I think I Wanna Marry You...and she only requests those songs as well as the Jaws Overture (her fav since Halloween)  She drinks milk like a crazy girl, loves her Doctor (Doctor Cornelson) and impressed him by saying his name.  She's totally potty-trained...wears pull-ups to bed, but we reused the same one like 4 days in a row because she always wakes up dry (awesome job, Ives) and she loves to snuggle and be held.  ( I don't mind either). She loves to sing the Sunbeam song.   She's so perceptive, and has an awesome memory...she always talks about her friend Hugh and how he drinks rice milk...(she talks about that every time I pour a glass of milk...)She likes to compare little things and big things...Daddy ones and baby ones, and (I think) has her colors down, finally!  haha (that's so sad on my part!)

We love our little pretty...she cracks us up all the time, and we're so happy that she's part of our little family.
