My sweet Ivy,
I can't get over how much you have grown in the last 9 months. Time needs to slow down and let me take it all in. I look back at your newborn pictures and it makes me sad that you aren't my tiny little butterball anymore. These days you are getting into anything and everything. You are a pro-crawler now and love to pull yourself up on the couch, ottoman, tv stand, and wherever else you can pull up on. You get brave sometimes and let go and stand up all by yourself. I think you will be walking really soon. You have started eating solid food and love sweet potatoes, corn, peas, pretty much everything really. You can still fit into 6m-9m clothes but just barely. You weigh almost 18 pounds. The curiosity you have about the world around you makes me think that you are going to love being able to walk around and get into things you probably shouldn't. You wanna do things your way and your way only. Even feeding you is getting difficult because you wanna feed yourself with the spoon, but you just wanna chew on it mostly. You have 4 teeth now, two on top and two on bottom! Teething has been awful lately. You run a low fever some nights and it breaks my heart that I can't help you. You still love Frozen and you have come to really love watching Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood. You love walking around the house in your walker and being able to watch Gunner outside. Your hair is getting so long and it makes me excited to be able to use little bows here soon! I can't believe in 3 short months you will be a ONE YEAR OLD! Guess I should start planning your birthday party huh?! I already have lots of ideas for it! Your birthday actually falls on Thanksgiving Day this year so your will be a Turkey baby for sure! I can't wait for the holiday season this year! Halloween is next month and I have no clue what you will be dressed as! Then Thanksgiving and Christmas with our family will be so fun! Many memories will be made for sure!

Ivy Ru you are such a sassy little girl but you also have such a kind spirit. My favorite part of the day is in the mornings when you wake up and you start loving on me and snuggling up to me. You sit up and your smile is as bright as the morning sunshine! You are such a fun baby. I love you so much! I feel like every month I say that this is my favorite stage of your life so far. You are my favorite!
