More Pics of Ivy

Here are some more pics of little Ivy.

Who said it takes a baby 3 months to develope a smile??
Now she's not smiling here. I think it's because Daddy did her hair.


I think she is trying to blow a kiss. Hopefully not at any boys!



Here is a glimpse of one of her many tempertantrums. She pitched this one when daddy said no to a shopping trip.


She calmed down when he told her that she could go to Grandma & Grandpa's house instead. She knows she can get what she wants from them.

Visitors

We have been busy bee's around here. I've been living in Texas for 4 years and I've never had tons of visitors. If you live away from home and want your family and friends to visit you then just have a baby and they will flock to you. :)

Josh and I have been blessed to have so many friends and family come by to meet Ivy. Lot's of our local friends and family have been by to visit but recently we had 3 visitors in a row and we have enjoyed chilling with them. Here is a picture of Ivy in her "chill" mode.




This next picture is my dad. He came to visit us last weekend and it was a huge blessing. My dad is quite the handy man and loves to stay busy. I had a long "to do" list for him. He helped us in many ways from fixing up our cars to painting the baby's bathroom. He may not have changed a diaper while he was here but he was super helpful and we enjoyed spending time with him. Here is Ivy with Grandpa Joe.
My mom also came to visit. She was here for Ivy's birth but she came back to visit for a week. This was a tremendous help to me and for my sleep. My mom did the 6am feeding for a week and I was able to get some shut eye. Mom was sooo helpful with teaching Josh and I some tips to taking care of infants. We learned a lot from her. I was actually getting worried that Ivy might think my mom was her mom because she pretty much did everything while she was here. I really enjoyed the relief and the company. It's really hard to get up at 6am now because I am so use to her doing it for me. Josh has been a sweetheart and jumps in to help as much as he can.
Anyway, here is Ivy with Grandmommy.


One of our other visitors was Samantha. Sam is one of my best friends and college roommies. She was traveling cross country to move to LA. Sam drove from Florida to Cali and made a point to stop by Dallas for 2 days to meet Ivy. Sam's visit came in good timing. Josh had been super busy with work and school and I was starting to feel like a single mother. Sam brought the company I desperately needed. It's always fun to catch up and spend time with her. Ivy really liked Sam too and wants to go visit her in Cali soon.
