Kite Festival

It's Saturday. There was a Kite Festival at Woodlands Park. Tyler flew Ollie's Batman kite as high as it would go. What a trooper.

















Ollie's mom built and flew a kite higher than anyone. Aunt Erin and Ivy just hung out. When Aunt Erin gave Ollie $1 for chips the concession stand gave him a hotdog a Sprite AND the cheese curls he wanted. He told his mom he got anything he wanted! :) He decided the thing to do was sit on a water plate and have a picnic while everyone else flew his kites.










Later tonight (after a sword fight with Blackbeard the pirate)I went over to Ivy's house to give her a bath and babysit for a couple hours. Is that the cutest little cherry you ever did see? :)

Overnight at Maw Maw's

Wednesday night Ivy came to Maw-maw's house. She got a bath and then we played for a while and by 10:30 she was asleep. She must like it here she slept until 4 am!

Maw-maw's nursery.

Cousins' Concert in the Park

Thurs, May 6. The first concert in the park for the year was tonight. The whole family turned out. Aunt Erin brought Twizzlers and Ollie was in charge of handing them out.














Everyone turn turns holding Baby Cousin. Everyone except Ollie. He was more into wrestling with Uncle Kevin and rolling down the grassy hill.

Everyday is an adventure for Ivy

May 3, Monday, Erin and I took Ivy to the pediatrician. She did great. Then she made her first trip to a fast food restaurant. We went to Wendy's for lunch to meet Kevin and Aunt Jen.

After that Erin and Kevin wanted to go to the mall for a while and left baby Ivy with me !!! We had a great time just rocking in my nursery. Isn't she sweet !











I also took the opportunity to photograph her with some of the nursery 'friends.'














May 4, Tuesday. Aunt Barb & Uncle Larry came for a visit. They are old pro's with baby girls--having 3 granddaughters of their own.

Aunt Barb loves little toes...











May 5, Wednesday. Ivy gets in her bathtub for the first time! She pretty much slept through the whole event. But she seemed to be soothed by the warm water.
