Happy Valentine's Day

Crawling

Mark your calendars everyone cause yesterday was the day. 2-11-2007 was the day that Ivy started crawling. Now she most definately has not mastered the art yet but she is a movin. She crawls in 3 different ways.

1. Like at catapillar. She gets on her knees, then makes her legs straight so she looks like a mountain, then usually falls on her face.

2. She pulls herself forward on the carpet. Almost like the military crawl.

3. She is trying to crawls on her knees like the traditional version of crawling.....she has one pesky leg that isn't coroporating. She should master that leg soon.

Hope you all are doing well. :)

Update

She rolls everywhere......


She rocks in place......
But she isn't crawling yet. She does seem to push herself backwards though. :)

Bouncer

Today I put Ivy in her bouncer for the first time. She sure is wobbly on those legs of hers. :) But she does like it. She has explored all the hooks and straps, feeding tray and of course her ability to spin around in all directions. By exploring I mean tasteing and touching of course.


This was the best picture I could take as each time I snap the shot she turned at the last second.

Party

On Saturday night we had a "Hello" and "Goodbye" party for The Peterson's. John (Jack) Clinton Peterson was born 5 weeks early to many peoples surprise. This was the first time we could all get together to see him. Oh my goodness what a cutie.
Tomorrow morning early Clinton Peterson will head back to South Korea. He is in the army helping to defend our country. We thank both him and all the military personnel who work hard and diligently in protecting our country.
This is a picture of Ivy, Elliot and Gabe who were all playing together.
