Come play with Ivy and Dahlia...or at least catch a glimpse of all of their most recent incredible accomplishments! Since so many of you live so far away, we thought this might be an easy way for you to all stay in touch with the littlest Kidd Kittens! Please visit often, and don't hestitate to leave comments! Lots of love and Ivy and Dahlia kisses!
About Me
- Carrie
- exceedingly blessed wife, mommy, sister, friend, daughter, music therapist...lover of all things GREEN and my family (related and chosen!) most of all!
ivy's first words
- 4/21/09...ummm...she's basically just talking non-stop now, earning her the nickname "lil' miss chatterbox" :)
- in the months since i've posted, ivy's accumulated really too many words to count..some that come to mind right now are: cheese, mommy (melts my heart every time), daddy, shelley, piper, mark, outside, car, please, baby, book, up, down, out, bird, pee-pee, poo-poo, tree, wow, cookie, bath, quack-quack, shoes, socks...the list seriously grows daily
- aa-oo (thank you) so polite, our little miss!
- aaiuhoo (i love you) - so stinkin' cute and sweet - we thought it would only be a matter of time before she started parroting this, since she hears it so much!
- tuuhtul (turtle)...we have a peice of hawaiian artwork with turtles hanging directly in her bathtime view, and last night (8/12/08), this was where "the point" and the "diss" fixed upon...so smart!
- hhhht (hot)...a long, open-mouthed "hhhh" sound followed by the "t"...somehow the vowel never makes it in, but it's more dramatic and even more cute this way!
- jituuulh (gentle)...can you tell what we;ve been working on here?!!
- nana (banana)
- no! (with finger pointed at whom/whatever she is saying "no" to!) although I have yet to hear/see this for myself, Ivy's beloved caregiver, Shelley, relayed to me that Ivy, clear as day, firmly told her playmate Mark "no" twice when he was splashing her in the pool! UNbelievable!
- haaaa (hi - sounds like she's saying it with a long Southern drawl...very Aunt Brookie!)
- issssss/iththththth (kisses!)
- ba-ba
- a-dah (duck)...followed immediately by a kiss to her stuffed duckie!
- mama
- dada
- uh-oh
specials at cafe ivy (ivy's fave foods of the week)
- mama's homemade ...balls - since we recently found out that ivy has iron-deficient anemia (easily treatable and temporary), we're bulking up her iron intake, meaning mama makes not only meatballs but tofu-kale-brown rice-cheese balls, both of which are packed with iron, and both of which ivy constantly signs "more" for!
- ice cream...although I make a really funny face from the cold, I just love its sweet, creamy deliciousness sooo much!
- cheese - I eat it as fast as mommy or daddy can cut it! I'd eat a whole meal of cheese if mommy would only let me! I wonder where I get that from...hmmm??
- strawberries...once mama cut them up, they were the only thing I'd eat off my tray Wednesday night! mmm...
- pickles(!!...hence, a new nickname was thus christened by daddy!)
- tofu nubs
ivy's recommended summer reading
- "We Are Family"...the cutest book with real pictures of adorable animal families - coincidentally, she started picking this up the morning that we went to the zoo, and it has since become her #1 book request in the mornings!
- "Goodnight, Moon" by Margaret Wise Brown...I find that this is best enjoyed with a shot of mama's milk or whilst in daddy's arms...ah, the good life!
- "Pat the Bunny" by Dorothy Kunhardt...each...page...torn...apart...chew marks...love all around...'nuff said
- "The Wheels On the Bus" by Paul O. Zelinsky...as soon as I come down to the living room in the morning, it is the FIRST book I seek out EVERY morning! The moving parts intrigue me so...although the bus driver has had to have his arm re-attached, and the windshield wiper blades have some serious duct tape holding them together!
