hard (especially for mommy & daddy!) to believe, but on august 24th (at 12:20am), ivy turned one whole year old! wow!!!! the sweet boo bear had a wonderful party, and we were so grateful that so many travelled so far (from wisconsin, north carolina, and far-off wild lands such as new jersey and new york!) to help her celebrate her special day. we're not going to lie, we also felt it to be a celebration for us as well - the first year of new parenthood is not for the weak, as any parent can certainly attest to. although her birth was beautiful, incredible and easy, as many of you know the breastfeeding troubles at the beginning made for a cranky baby and stressed- and guilt-ridden mama! but with lots of support we made it to a YEAR of breastfeeding (breastmilk rocks!). ivy has accomplished so much in this first year, it's almost hard to comprehend, but suffice to say, her birthday was filled with many small buddies, loving family and friends and one fuzzy fella (lexie)! above is a shot of the famous grandma terrill one-year birthday cake, and as you'll see below, ivy did not disappoint her party guests with her destruction...i mean eating...of the cake...enjoy!
a voracious reader, ivy also loves mama & dadoo to make up stories to picture books that have faces she knows in them!
balloon time with delilah & jojo!
why yes mommy, i am a pretty party girl! tee hee! we are so fancy together!
the fam (grandpa squish & cousin/fuzzy fella lexie) in from wisconsin! (auntie teresa is also hiding somewhere!)
