Aal Izz Well

Not sure if you've heard the newest fad - a new form of baby 'wearing.'  I figure people carry their dogs around in their purses, why not their babies?

No, but in all seriousness, the diaper bag we had was beginning to disintegrate - zippers broken, filled beyond capacity, etc.  We bought a new bag on recommendation from some friends.  I was, however, amazed at how comfortable she seemed to be while we were taking pictures though.

Oh, and Ivy is pulling herself up on everything now.  Pulling herself up, yes.  Capable of stable stance, no.  This picture was taken just before she took a header into the side of the crib.  Aal izz well (can anyone name that movie reference?).  Just a little bump, no bruises this time around, but I am completely aware that I will not be able to save her from bonking her head every time she tries.  Jason and I have already discussed how this is just the beginning of emotionally preparing for the bike falls, athletic injuries, driving lessons, etc.

And, mothers and fathers out there who noticed, yes we removed the mobile from her crib just after this picture was taken.  We also lowered her crib mattress to the next lower level.
