We're breaking all the rules

today we took all of Ivey's monitors off of her and just let her be...a baby. And guess what, she loved it. For a little reward, she rolled over!

Don't tell anyone (especially my mom) but we let her have her first taste of real food. Considering that she isn't very successful with a bottle yet, this was a great moment for Ms. Ivey. A little peppermint ice cream.... she would smack a little then open her mouth like a little bird. Adorable.

I took pictures, but cannot get this computer/camera to cooperate!

gwen.

ps: I can tell you that it has meant the world that so many of you really took Ivey's last post to heart. Thank you for making a difference.

Peppermint Ice Cream- she may never want a bottle again after tasting that.

Another milestone accomplished by her rolling over. That is wonderful news.

Give the kids lots of hugs from us.

Sending all of our love,
Morgan and Monica

P.S. I am off the week after Christmas- please let me know if you need my assistance.

Ooh--don't tell Addie; she'll be so jealous! Her oatmeal won't sound so yummy if she hears little Miss Ivey is eating ice cream:)

And what a way to reward you for taking off her monitors! She's a smart one; she knows if she rolls over, you might do it more often!! :)

I so wish we lived closer and could get together--although the six of our kids together sounds scary, doesn't it?
