As I mentioned in the last post, she is now a walker! She can walk really well until she tries walking fast and then she always stumbles and eventually crawls because she needs to get where she's going NOW!! She is obsessed with many things these days. One is taking clothes out of drawers, baskets, bags, suitcases, etc. If I need a minute to do something in peace, I just plop her in front of her drawers and in minutes she has emptied the drawer and is happy as a clam. She is also obsessed with taking kleenex out of the box. This is one I usually don't do on purpose. If there happens to be a box within her reach, she can empty it in 2 minutes flat. The solution to that problem is to put the kleenex box up out of her reach, but then that means that Max and Mya can't reach it and we're constantly getting them kleenex!
She has turned the corner and is an awesome eater. She eats from all of the food groups (except dairy) and is especially loving meat these days. I'm all over it because my other two wanted nothing to do with meat for the longest time! In fact Mya is still kind of leery unless it's sesame chicken from HyVee Chinese! Bread and anything that resembles bread is also a favorite of hers. She stole a cookie out of our neighbor's hand (Audrey is going to be 2 next month) and boy you should have seen the fit she threw when I took it away!
Hasn't gotten any new teeth in the last month (which also means she hasn't had a cold or an ear infection in the last month:) and loves getting them brushed a.k.a. sucking on the tooth brush:) Unfortunately she has Mya's skin issues so we're starting to treat her eczema and will discuss what else to do at her 1 year appointment. We're working on some sign language and hopefully she will pick it up more and more this coming month. It just makes things so much easier when she can let us know what she wants! Max was great with sign language and we were too overwhelmed when Mya was ready for it so we never taught her!
One of the best parts of my day is seeing Ivy's face light up when Chris walks in the door. She usually crawls over to him as fast as she possibly can and will fight for him to pick her up even if he has 2 other kids in his arms! She doesn't care for Chris wrestling with Max and Mya. It's pretty funny how upset she gets and immediately stops when the wrestling stops! She is not sure if she likes to be thrown up in the air or not. Sometimes she laughs and other times she looks like she's scared to death! Her tickle spots are under her legs and on her tummy. She takes her socks off every chance she can get and absolutely despises getting put in he carseat. She is fine once she's buckled in, but it's crazy how much she hates getting buckled up! Until next month....
She wasn't too fond of the 11 month pictures today despite Mya and my best effort:) Maybe we'll give it another try tomorrow!

Beth - Ivy is lucky to have such a chill mom as you...I would be having a coniption (how do you spell that?) if Liv and Grace got in their drawers! :)
So adorable and sooo close to a year already, wow. You're pictures capturing clothes out of drawers is precious and I love that Mya was helping with Ivy's 11 month pics.
