July is good so far...

We went to the zoo the other day, as you can see by the pictures Darin put up. We had to be over that way for a Dr.'s appointment and thought we would make a day of it. Ivy was definitely more interested in all of the kids at the zoo but seemed to have a good time. She is such a little social butterfly. She is at that hard stage where she is so squirmy and wants to be let free everywhere we go. But she takes off like a shot and gets really dirty crawling on the ground. She is walking farther and farther every day and it looks like she might be pro by her first birthday.
Ivy and I also went up to Summit County with Darin for the last couple days and got to spend time with our good friends the Allens. Ivy was in heaven playing with the two cutest boys around. Taggart and Jack treated Ivy like a queen and she even rewarded them with her cutest baby doll laugh and even hugs when we left! She isn't very affectionate so that was a big deal. Every time I see Ivy having so much fun with other little kids it makes me hope that someday we will be able to give her a little brother or sister. But that is in the Dr.'s hands so we'll see...
