April 1, 2010 - 1st word!

This morning Ivy said her first word, "duck." And best of all she said it for her mommy! Seriously, I'm so glad that it was her and not me. It means so much to her and I'm excited, but I know it's different.

Yesterday she was practicing so we spent a lot of time playing with rubber duckies. Even listening to Ernie love his. And she kept encouraging me to say "duck" over and over again, then she'd say "duh." She was really practicing and thinking about it. It's too adorable that now she's said it.

We're also planning another first, a special museum visit. Last week we visited a very old school museum in Boston, old school meaning no touching [anything!], no photos, very little light in places, etc. It was our first time in a place like this and with Ivy being such a babbler I wasn't sure how we'd do. Know what happened? She loved it! Spent the entire time wide eyed and open mouthed. She was in complete awe. It was beautiful. We had such an amazing time. Here's hoping the next is just as good!
