Ivey might no longer need to eat baby food but that doesn’t seem to stop her from eating her favorite items from Ella’s Kitchen.
For example, last night while we were hanging out with our neighbors, one of the kids happened to leave their sweet potatoes, pumpkin, apple, blueberries briefly unattended – next thing I knew Ivey was helping herself to it (see picture above).
Recently they added a few new favors to their assortment and they were kind enough to send us samples of the following:
There is just something about the quality of the ingredients and the convenience of the packaging that makes Ella’s Kitchen something both Ivey and I can agree on. They taste so great that I find myself eating them as well. They are the perfect dose of healthy organic fruits and veggies! The packaging is perfect for when you running out the door plus they are MUCH better for you than a nasty V8.

Ivey Maudell turned twelve months old today. I can’t believe how fast time is flying. To ensure I remember all these special moments I will be taking a “birthday” picture every month for her first 24 months as well as charting her developments.
Summary of Ivey’s development this past month:
- Will crawl up the stairs.
- She will walk around with the aid of a walker or a single hand.
- She has learned to push the buttons on the elevator.
- Is presently cutting her fourth tooth.

Ivey Maudell turned eleven months old today. I can’t believe how fast time is flying. To ensure I remember all these special moments I will be taking a “birthday” picture every month for her first 24 months as well as charting her developments.
Summary of Ivey’s development this past month:
- Will stand momentarily without support.
- She will walk around for several minutes while holding on to your hands.
- Will enthusiastically empty the contents of her toy chest onto the floor however she will rarely put them back.
- Is willing to voluntarily let go of an object she is holding if you ask her for it nicely.
- Will poke and pinch small objects.
- Will attempt to scribble when given a writing instrument.
- Has learned to throw her binky with incredible speed, distance and accuracy.
- Loves to have her hair brushed.
- Is about to cut her third tooth.
The Outtakes:

Now that we are in the “double digits” I am finding it much harder to get a picture of Ivey actually holding the numbers.

They usually end up in her mouth.

Because we only had one “1″ we thought we would use this plastic fish for the second “1″ – this was not successful and also ended up in her mouth.

Deep in thought.

Although it kinda looks like she is upset in this picture, she is actually being really goofy and over the top. She is such a cheese ball and tends to laugh hysterically after flashing this smile.
