September video highlight: Ivy

This is how Ivy managed to get around before she figured out crawling.

**Ivy update, 12/26
I haven't been very good at keeping up with the updates these last couple of months.  Ivy is now 11-months old and doing lots and lots of new things!
-crawls really fast all over
-can climb the stairs but can't go down. She likes to climb up a few, turn around and sit down and bounce up and down and wave.
-she is an adventurous eater and has eaten anything we have given her.  Fruit, veggies, meat, breads, pastas, she really doesn't seem to be picky.  And she can eat a lot!  She will eat as much pb&j or cheese quesadilla that I make for Brynn
-has 4 teeth, two on top and two on bottom.  She went through a phase where she would bite a lot when I was nursing but hasn't been doing that lately, thank goodness.
-pulls herself up on anything and can walk along the furniture.  Also likes to walk behind a walker or a car or anything she can push.
-can stand independently but is often too scared and will hurry and sit down
-took three steps on her own last weekend (Dec. 19th) but won't even try to do it again.  I think it was a fluke.
-has an extensive vocabulary.  Jabbers a whole bunch!
-has started sleeping through the night more but still wakes up once usually
-takes two naps each day.  Some naps are long and some are short.  She has taken the longest to get a set schedule down for her naps (and we are still not completely there!) but it could have something to do with the fact that she is #4 and I don't have the luxury of just staying home all day like I did with Molly and even Stockton.
-will try to mimic the same things we do (like clapping, nodding, waving, growling, sneezing, etc.)
-loves the tub

Brynn @ 18 months

Yes, you read that right.  Brynn is 18 months old!!  She is so fun to have around the house and I haven't done a post devoted just to her for a while, so I thought it was about time. -She loves books!  She was never really that interested until sometime in the past couple months and now she can't get enough.  Sacrament meeting went from impossible to we can make it through...as long as I pack enough books for her.  This is how I often find her at night or during nap time. -She also loves blankets and towels, although she is not particular about which blanket.  She just wants something soft. She wants to walk around all over with them wrapped around her...they don't stay very well and she gets frustrated.  For that reason, I try to keep her blankets out of sight during the day. They come out when it's time to sleep. -Like my other kids, she loves her warm milk!  Actually, she'll drink it cold too. -She is a quiet one, always has ...

Christmas Advent 2012

Okay, here goes... Day 1: paint clay ornaments When we cut down trees this year there were a bunch of tops already cut down just lying on the ground so we took a couple home...one for Molly and Stockton's room and one for Brynn's room.  When the ornaments were dry I hung them on their little trees. Day 2: watch the Christmas Devotional (And eat Christmas corn!) Day 3: library story time Stockton was pretty nervous to see Santa but I think he was even more scared of not telling him what he wanted for Christmas.  He's smiling but it's a nervous smile!   Brynn had no reaction.   Day 4: Santa face craft   Day 5: Festival of Lights   Day 6: write letters to Santa Stockton: "Captain America" Molly: "an easy bake oven" & "a car for Molly"    Day 7: go shopping for cousin exchange and wrap presents Day 8: North Pole Express with Moyes family           ...
