OK, I apologize for another marathon post. I was feeling myself by Friday, but I decided just to wait another couple of days and do the whole downloading, uploading, posting thing just once!
Saturday before Easter found us hunting eggs with our friends... We could not have asked for a more beautiful day for egg hunting. Ivy seemed to understand the objective, but once she discovered that there was a treat in the egg, she made it very clear that she was in it for the rewards more than the challenge!
As I think I mentioned in a previous post, this girl is an outside girl through and through. She loves being in the sunshine, doesn't mind being in the rain, loves the mulch, loves the worm she found in the dirt, loves the "fowrs" and everything else about "side". So, now Ivy has a sandbox to love, too! She has such a good time digging and tearing down my castles.... one day we even had snack on the picnic table!

Being outside on was a good way to pass the afternoons. We drew on the driveway with sidewalk chalk....
and Ivy tired out bathtime as a bird...
Papa bought a wheelbarrow and took Ivy for a ride!
Ivy's growing so fast! She fed herself almost all of her cereal Thursday morning! I was SO proud!
And she's learning how to drink from a cup (not just in the bathtub, but it's still the safest place)!
Her hair has certainly grown too! Here is a picture of the length...

Now if we could just get her sides to even out! Still, I attempted a twist to keep her hair out of the bathwater....
