Veevers @ 18 months.

Ever since V turned one I've been bad at journaling what she's all about, and at 18 months, she is a riot...so here goes. Ivy is currently all about "showwww" which means all she wants to do is watch Tangled and sing along quietly with Mandy Moore. It totally melts my heart, not only because it's super cute but because it makes her seem super old. Ivy has also turned even girlier somehow. She's not satisfied unless she's wearing fury boots, 12 bangles, a necklace, and sunglasses. Such a priss.

Ivy is a tickle monster, although she usually gets too antsy to tickle you and will scream with excitement beforehand and blow her cover. She loves her blankets and her teddy bear and her books and she is talking up a storm. She thinks saying, "please" and "thank you" gets her whatever she wants, and it usually does. She likes to hide in small spaces and close her eyes. She likes babies a lot, but not when I'm holding one. She likes kissing and hugging and high-fiving. She loves to share, but the minute a kid her own age gets near her things she'll lose it.

She likes dancing, eating mint m&ms, and going down the park slide. She is really short and has teeny feet, we all wonder how she balances on them. She goes through a tin of peppermint altoids every 2 weeks. She's stubborn as an ox and smirks whenever she's doing something she shouldn't. She loves her sleep and is known to ask to go down for "nigh-nighs", it's awesome. She loves to give zerbits and eat ice and "tweet" at birds. She insists on handing me her boogers throughout the day. She loves oatmeal and Joes BBQs mac n' cheese. She gets wild in the bath. She kneels down on her knees and says the sweetest prayers. She loves gum and will eat the wrapper as an appetizer when I'm not looking.

She is the sweetest and no matter how many smooches I give her throughout the day, it never seems to be enough. Love you Miss V.

Ah you're making me miss her bad. She's growing up too fast and I'm missing it all :( She is amazing.

I can't wait to party with her this Christmas!
