Visting South Carolina

Over a week ago Ivy and I traveled home to South Carolina. We were there for 10 days! It was awesome to see so many friends and family. Our reason for going home was for two reasons. One, Josh was going on a mission trip to Vegas and we didn't want to sit in Dallas alone for a week. Two, my mom had hip replacement surgery and we wanted to be there to help her recover. The timing was great!

Ivy LOVED South Carolina! She was sooo good on the trip. She was even good on the plane. She didn't cry once and everyone on the flight told me I had a good baby. I am glad because we are going to be traveling to SC a lot.

Before we headed out to SC we were blessed with a visit from Aunt Carmen, Uncle Bernie and cousin Isabel. It was nice to have more family here and for the cousins to meet. Isable is a one year old and she adored her cousin Ivy. Isabel seemed to think that Ivy was her little baby doll. She would just lay her head on Ivy and hug her. Here is a cute pic of her doing that.

Isabel also loved swinging Ivy. She really would swing her! Here is the picture to prove it. (If you notice Isabel's outfit don't blame Carmen. Bernie and Josh dressed her this way.)

Ivy is not sure that Fletcher will be her favorite Uncle. He was a little nervous about holding her. Fletcher said.."I don't do bobble heads". I guess Ivy will get more Uncle Fletcher time once she gains more head control. Fletcher also was only able to burp her for about 2 mins. He said his hand was getting tired. Guess he's lost muscles since his days on the Clemson football team.

This was just a cute pic of Ivy. She is passed out after a day at the Park with Isabel.

Here is another cute picture of Ivy on Easter Sunday. She is such a doll and I love dressing her up!

Ivy got to meet so many family and friends while we were home. Here is a list of who she met and what Ivy thought about them. If you want to see more pics of our trip then CLICK HERE.

Aunt Carmen - She is really good with babies and it's obvious mom has learned a lot from her.

Grandmommy - She is so much fun! She was so sweet to buy all kinds of toys and things we needed at the house to make traveling easy. I can't wait to see her again.

Grandpa Bledsoe - He is a little nuts but I think I'll always have a lot of fun with him.

Uncle Bernie - I hope he never has to pick out my outfit.

Uncle Fletcher - Needs to improve on baby holding skills.

Cousin Isabel - I'm glad to have a cousin close to my age. I can't wait to play with her once I grow up.

Uncle Brian and Aunt Amanda - Those two need to have a baby soon so we'll have more cousins to play with.

Great Grandma Nonnie - She is really pretty, especially for her age. I hope I got some of her genes.

Ashley Alexander - What a sweet friend! She is a natural with babies.

Doctor Grier - He needs to get over mom breastfeeding me. She had a cover over her. He's a little strange acting, especially for a pediatrician. Dr. Cody and Dr. Lyle were much better with me.

Anderson Family - (This includes Jeff, Melanie, Jeffery, Bethany, Greg, and Patty). I have heard the Anderson family is strange. The jury is still out and I'll make my decision as I grow up.

Aunt Martha - She is sooooo good with babies. I could sleep in her arms forever.

Uncle Joe Ben - He is a funny man and I hope mommy will let me play with him a lot when we come home.

Tavaras - WOW! I have never been held by a man with such dark skin.

Jenn Breaux - For not having kids she was pretty good with me. I liked her and hope to see her again.

Briani - Ummm. She needs to spend more time with infants before I let her hold me again.

Aunt Harriet - She is my clothing idol. I want to dress like her when I grow up. She is stylin! But I hope she will remember not to call me a dog next time. When I burped she said.. "Good dog". I think it's been a while since she has been around babies.

Grandpa Joe - He seems a bit "task oriented". When we come home I will need to be added to his "to do" list to make sure we spend time together. But he is fun too! I little crazy but still fun.
