LAME
I haven't posted. Life is once again busy.
I am working on something I will soon be sharing with you, but for now, once again I need to play catch up!
Sooo since last post...HALLOWEEN
Ivy was a little itty bubble bee.
I was her flower (with a migraine so not looking so in bloom). My boobs are acting as the flower part, because bees eat from flowers, Ivy eats from boob, there spelt it out for you. Keith was a Hawaiian Mafia Man.
Keith, Hannah, Steph and I toke Ivy to a few houses on our street trick or treating!
Ivy's been spending lots of time in her sling. It is the only way to get her to nap, and she doesn't like being anywhere without me. So I leave her in her bumbo, go to the kitchen FREAK OUT. Shower FREAK OUT, so basically she is attached to me constantly, leaving me with a very sore shoulder and a much needed massage.
Ivy is totally changing! She needs to play with things now, not just lie around! So we have been spending loads of time stacking towers of blocks, playing with puzzles and all sorts of great things. It is crazy to me that my little baby is playing!
We are trying to keep the STUFF around here minimal. Basically I donated every plastic thing we had in the house (besides her exersaucer and bouncy chair!). We really want Ivy playing with natural things, like wood and fabric toys and we are really trying to keep them to basic, low numbers. It is not easy, but something I am sticking too!
I am also trying to make more things for Ivy, so here is her tag book! 2 hankerchiefs with fleece in the middle and lots of fun ribbons sewn around the edges! She loves it and it was so easy to make!
So that's us up to today! I will try to be make soon :)
so cute, i love the flower boobs LOL

Great costumes! Love the flower boobs, very inventive!
Both my kids were attached to me 24/7! Zilla, especially. Good news is, it will pass. Bad news, not sure when. Sending you a virtual shoulder massage ;o)
*HUGS*

Sorry to hear that the napping has gone down hill, again. Mommies need some time alone in the day just to get things done.
Love the bumble bee costume.

Very cute pictures, and the flowers on the boobs is sheer brilliance! Zoe was like that - needing to be near me at all times, it was extremely exhausting, but Beautiful Mess is right, it will pass.
