Ivy G is Getting Old

Our little Ivy reached the "big" 18-month milestone last month and I didn't really document it or think about it much at all to be honest.   BUT, you guys!  That is the best indicator that life in the Foley home is so awesome right now.  We aren't sitting around waiting for Ivy to get older anymore?!  Haha.  18 months is a pretty great time of life, and we're loving this stage.

Here are some Ivy highlights as of late--
  • I sing songs to Ivy every night before I put her to bed and she always signs and says, "more more" after each one.  Stab me in the heart, why don't you.
  • She smiles on command with the cheesiest, closed-eye grin and we love it.
  • She can say a TON of words and we love to hear her trying them out.
  • When she says Scott's and my name, she says them with very different inflection.  For Dad, she YELLS, "Da!!!" and for me it's a very serious/monotone, "Mama."  Every time.
  • No one loves the new basement more than Ivy.  She stands by the door and yells, "Baaaaaase" every day.
  • She is very interested in coloring.  Nothing stands in the way of her and her colored pencils once she sees them.
  • She loves to hold hands and run down a hallway.
  • She loves to get busted for things and for the most part only laughs when she's getting ratted out.
  • She's very interested in "hot" and "cold" things right now and loves to say those words or blow on her food.
  • If she sees someone folding their arms, she'll fold hers and say, "Prayers?"
  • She likes to pretend to get poked by a cactus in one of her books.
  • She is very vocal about liking her food and will say, "Oooooh" or "Mmmmm."  Unfortunately she's also beginning a pickier stage but still surprises us with things she will or won't try.
  • I've been practicing the piano for church lately and she knows the piece well enough that she'll start clapping once I hit the last line.
