First Pedicure

While we were in Starkville, I got a pedicure at my mom's salon. Ever since Ivy Kate has been born, the girls at the salon have been dying to paint her toenails, so I finally gave in.

John is going to be doomed since she started getting pedicures at 2 months!

Sorry I haven't blogged in a while. We just got home from the Neshoba County Fair and a trip to Starkville. Ivy Kate and I stayed at the Fair from Thursday until Wednesday (John was able to stay on the weekend). It was actually cooler than most Fairs in the past which was great having a baby. Ivy Kate slept from 10 to 7 every night (not sure how through all noise from the bands)!

John, Ivy Kate, Bailey, and Paul Kosko

Ivy Kate was so excited to meet Bailey! She thought he was so cute!

Ivy Kate's 1st Kademi Fair onesie!

Ever since Ivy Kate has been born, we have been on the go. She isn't quite 3 months old and we've spent 30 nights away from home...so we're staying home until football season!

Cute Idea

The last time I was in Starkville I took Ivy Kate to Dandy Doodlez on Main Street to put her footprints on a plate for her room. The sweet girl that worked there helped me get her feet painted and put the footprints on the plate.

For all of you creative people out there, you can paint the plate yourself, but I just let them do it. I think that it turned out so cute!

Shots and Bling, Bling Band-Aids!

We just got back from Ivy Kate's 2 month check-up and she is asleep. It went good. John was able to meet us there, so he got to help the nurse hold her legs while she gave her the shots. :(

She screamed, but she was okay after the initial shock wore off. They put these shiny silver band-aids on her legs.

Bling, bling!

(If you look close, you can see the shiny band-aid on her thigh!)

Her check-up went well. And she now is:

10 pounds 9 ounces

23 inches long

Mohawk or Rooster?

Ivy Kate's hair just keeps a growin' and will not lay down. I took these pictures this morning as she was playing (before getting dressed and combing the hair). Although combing the hair does not help!

So the question of the day is:

Does it look like a mohawk or a rooster?

Our Favorite Thing

This play mat by Fisher Price is the best. It folds up so nicely that you can take it anywhere. We took it over to some friends' house for dinner, so Ivy Kate would have some place to play. The toys are connected to the mat and you can take them off and wash the mat if you have to.

It is our favorite and she plays on it all the time!

(Actually, Wilson loves it too! If I don't put it up after Ivy Kate gets finished playing, I find him messing with the toys!)

Ready for Bed...Bunny Slippers and All!

Someone gave us these bunny slippers as a baby gift and I think they're adorable. I put them on Ivy Kate for the first time last night right before bedtime. She is still doing great sleeping (anywhere from 7 to 8.5 hours)! We are truly blessed with a great sleeper.

We go Monday for Ivy Kate's 2 month check-up and shots. I can't wait to find out how much she weighs and how tall she is, but I could wait on the shots parts. :(
