Dear Ivy-14 Weeks Old

Dearest Ivy,

You are now 14 weeks old. How did that happen? It seems like just yesterday I held you in my arms for the first time and wondered what I did to be blessed with such an amazing little baby. I love you so much Ivy. In honor of you being 14 weeks old, I wanted to tell you some of the things that I love about you.

1. The way you look me straight in the eyes when I'm feeding you.
2. Scratch my chest when you are eating.
3. Stretch like a cat a bazillion times a day.
4. Talk to the polka dots on the wall like they are your best friends.
5. Fake cough to get people's attention.
6. Sometimes you ignore me and no matter how close I get to you, you won't look at me. You think you're funny! (You get that from me...I think I'm funny too!)
7. Grin from ear to ear when we try to put in your binky and you won't take it.
8. Rest your head on my shoulder when I carry you around.
9. The puzzled look you give yourself in the mirror.
10. The way you raise your eyebrow at me.
11. The face you give when you are trying not to laugh.
12. How you sleep through the night EVERY NIGHT (Hallelujah!)
13. Your chubby cheeks that I want to kiss every day.
14. Your beautiful blue eyes (I think you have my eyes, Dad thinks you have his)
15. When we stick you in the crack of the couch and you just chat away with me like we are having a real life conversation.
16.  The look on your face when we do patty-cake, "This is the way the gentleman ride," and sing the "hello" song to you.
17. When you yawn or sneeze, the adorable sound you make afterwards.
18. When I put you in our bed and lay down next to you, you roll over and grab my hand or my face before you can fall asleep.
19. The way you suck in your bottom lip sometimes and stick it out when you are pouting.
20. The way you flex and point your toes.
21. How you kick your legs all the time and you think it's soooo funny.

Love you Ivy Grace. Stop growing up so fast.
