Baby Ivy is 3!

Ivy, when you were born, Violet was 2  years and 3 months.  As I held you in my arms, I thought, one day you too will be a toddler -- a big girl!  At the time, the thought seemed silly and truly unimaginable.  It's 3 years later and you've blossomed so much since those early days.  You walk and talk and have the determination that can only be compared to your mother's during a game of Candy Crush.  You're independent and strong willed and never ask your parents for anything --mostly because you go after it yourself.  Truthfully, it's terrifying and I am not surprised when I find you trying to stack two chairs together to reach your toys.  While all the signs of you being a big girl are right there in front of me, in my mind, you will always be my baby Ivy.
