Who's there?

shadow kisses
Ivy kissing her shadow. I know. Sweetness.

I hear it's delurking day or week or something. So that means if you're hanging around you should come out and say hi. And, I'm hoping to visit each and every one of you that does.

HaB said...

That has to be one of the cutest things I have seen all week!

Mommy Melee said...

I'm not lurky, but hello lady.

Heather said...

I came about your blog recently through a series of clicks, and am enjoying reading your past posts! Thanks for sharing!

Sidnie said...

She is precious!
I love little ones that love to give love!! :)

I lurk sometimes. I think I've commented before. But I always enjoy your posts!!

Jen @ Rolling Through Looneyville said...

very cute! (my middle baby just discovered the joys of shadow chasing... about to post on it, actually). I'm not technically a lurker :)

Erin said...

Oh, Ivy. So sweet!

Maura said...

I read your blog everyday but I rarely comment. I LOVE your blog and Ivy is just the sweetest thing!!

Kaycee said...

I think I have commented before... but I am losing track. I used to be a major lurker on on blogs of people I don't know in 'real' life. But then I started commenting on a few here and there.

The picture is ABSOLUTE sweetness! How completely adorable!

Oh, and I don't have a blog. So you can't visit it. But I appreciate that you would if I did! :)

Crooked Eyebrow said...

NO need to delurk, but just thought i would say hello

xoxo

Elouise82 said...

I think I'm a halfway lurker - I comment occasionally, but I read far more than I comment on. Mostly because I usually can't think of anything relevant to say.

So, hi! And that picture of Ivy is SO sweet ... I'm a little puddle on my keyboard.

Elaine A. said...

She is the sweetest! I love that little sweater top of hers. Did you make it? So cute!

Ashley said...

Adorable. I am a semi-lurker... I read every day but only comment once in a blue moon!

Melody said...

How sweet!

Jessica said...

I read daily! I have commented before, but not for awhile. Ivy is adorable!

Charlotte said...

I'm a huge lurker!! I rarely comment even when I know the person in real life. I do love reading your blog!

Amy said...

That picture is too sweet!

I'm a fellow Band of Blogger mom - I hope to meet you at Blissdom!!

Lauren said...

I'm here! (And de-lurking on my blog today, too!) Love reading about your adventures :)

Stef said...

I read your blog in Google Reader now, so I don't get to comment as much!

Love "Ivy style". Too cute. :)

Heather said...

SO sweet!

Kate @ Bliss and That said...

LOVE it!!! I love this age so much! :)

Brianna said...

Not a lurker, but wanted to say Hi. Ivy is ADORABLE!

melissa said...

Love how you dress your little girl - what a cutie!

Jenn @ Beautiful Calling said...

Oh, that is darling!

and "lurking" sounds so ominous doesn't it? EEK!

C (Kid Things) said...

I'm here, delurking. That picture is too cute!

Cassie said...

She is such an adorable little girl!

Sara said...

Hi! Delurking here. I have made a few comments, but most of the time I just enjoy reading. :) Anyway, thanks for all of the great posts!

The Houser's said...

de-lurking:) What a sweet picture!

Leighann of Multi-Minding Mom said...

You should have named Ivy "cupcake" because she's too sweet. I call my 2yo "Mr. Muffin." I'll have to stop that before he gets to high school I think.

I don't lurk...I do leave comments sometimes :)

But here's "hello" anyway.

I do have a new project called "D-Mom Blog" that is about parenting children with Type 1 diabetes. If any of you are affected. please stop by.

Here's hoping.

Rose said...

Delurking! I've been here for a few months... I came over reading about cloth diapers. I really enjoyed your post on bed sharing/co-sleeping. My baby girl's only 3.5 months now though.

Litchfield Family said...

Blessed said...

That is very, very sweet! It reminds me of when Sugar first discovered herself in the mirror, she just wanted to stand and stare at herself - making faces and blowing kisses!

Judith said...

Very cute! I love reading your blog.

Butterfly Mama said...

Ivy is so sweet!

Daneen said...

Hi. I'm Daneen and I'm a lurker. (Hi, Daneen!) I've been lurking for a long, long time. I asked a babywearing question once, but other than that I lurk. Had my own blog for a while, but then my baby started walking. Excuses.

Our youngest girls are months apart, so I love seeing pix and hearing stories of your sweet girl. I can tell from your transparency in your posts that you and I have a lot in common... and yet, we are quite different. I love that.

And now we're Facebook "friends"!

Hattie said...

Too cute! Evan (13mos), my baby loves to kiss his reflection in the dishwasher!

Jen said...

Once again great photo!

Liz @ Sugarplum Creations said...

Ohhhhhh, that is too sweet! Love those sweet, shadow kisses.

lynsey said...

hi there!

i found you when you started writing for real mom's guide...i was one of the moms on the show. i loved your photography and writing, and then felt a bond with you when i read about your little boy having seizures.

my little guy also had unexplainable seizures starting at 10 days old, until his final one at 18 mos old. after months and months of testing and specialists, we finally had to find what worked for US (which meant no meds) and he is a happy and healthy 4 1/2 yr old today. listening to that mother's intuition is so important and i'm glad you're an advocate for it!

anyway i'm happy to have "met" you through RMG and always appreciate your posts. that little ivy is a doll!

Jennifer said...

OMGoodness...that's beyond sweetness! Precious!
I fell of the blogosphere a few months ago - blogging and commenting. But I'm trying to make a comeback in 2010, and what better day to leave a comment? So...Hi again! And I can't believe how fast Ivy has grown, doesn't seem possible. She gets more and more adorable every day!

Kelli @ Gohn Crazy said...

Aww she's so cute! :) I have a similar picture of my daughter kissing herself in a mirror.

Nishant said...

That has to be one of the cutest things I have seen all week!

molly said...

Hmmm....not sure my first comment went through. Anyway, I'm new so I'm not sure that qualifies me as a lurker, but I love your blog!

Bri said...

Love the idea of delurking! I love to read your blog :)

Ryley said...

I hate that she is getting so big. Time goes by way to fast.
But that kissing her shadow? SO CUTE!
Love you and her! :)

Heather @ Storming the Castle said...

How cute is that? Hello from North Carolina! I'm definitely guilty of lurking, and I promised myself I would start commenting more on blogs I love, so this was a perfectly timed post. Thanks for sharing with all of us!

Katie at A List Maker's Life said...

Happy Delurky Thursday! Love the picture of Ivy and her shadow - precious!

Jennifer said...

Delurking just about 3 years. Love your blog! I look forward to reading it every day.

Katie @ Heart Gone Walking said...

If I were as cute as Ivy, I'd kiss my own shadow too.

Furr Family: Project 365 said...

Hi Steph, I am delurking today. I generally have my 3 year old on my lap, so I don't tend to comment, but I love your blog. I don't remember how I came across you, I think from flipflopmama, but then I don't remember how I came across her. You are so talented with the knitting and I LOVE the idea of using your tshirts to make Ivy's dresses. Ivy is absolutely precious!

Crystal @ Semi-Crunchy Mama said...

Adorable photo -- she is just too precious!!

De-lurking Day? Love it! Now I'm curious to see who's actually reading my new little blog.

VanderbiltWife said...

I think I comment enough you probably know I am here, but HI anyway! That is so precious.

Jo@Mylestones said...

Steph- I'm 90% lurker, 10% commenter. And convinced your daughter is 100% sweetness. So adorable.

Katina said...

I'm guilty of lurking. I always mean to leave comments, but life gets in the way. I do read you every day though. Thanks for all the smiles. I'm a mother of 4 boys (and loving that) who enjoys all the precious little girl vibes from your blog.

Stacey said...

Drea said...

I'm a lurker! You have such beautiful children (and baby carriers!).

Molly said...

Delurking (but I have commented once before & I won a beautiful Solarveil Sling from it!)

I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your blog. I love reading about your life as a mommy & seeing your beautiful pictures. My daughter is about a month younger than Ivy & I love seeing the similarities and feeling your passion for being a mom. I like you love having my angel snuggled close to me while she breastfeeds, am giddy over her girliness & feel so blessed when I watch her sleep next to me at night. Reading your blog inspires me to try and be a better mom. Thank you!

Lisa said...

I'm not new to commenting, so feel free to skip your visit to my blog. I hate it right now! I need a new look and new...whatever. Do you ever get sick of you blog? I don't have the funds to hire someone to spruce it up for me, and I don't have the know-how to do it myself, soooo....I've been ignoring it. Bad me.

Moriah @ Please Pass the Salt said...

We've met! But I'll say hi anyway. :)

Mama Hen said...

Okay, she is too precious!

Sarah said...

I'm de-lurking! Our little girls are very close in age - my little Munch was born (9/25/08). I love reading your blog to see what Ivy is up to!

Jaimie said...

hi. : )

Meghan said...

Alright, I'll delurk! I just started reading last weekend when I figured out which of Erin's Cupcake 10 friends made the gorgeous scarf I loved and harassed her about. :-)

rebecca d said...

ninibeans said...

Ivy is just too cute! Such a sweet girly girl...love it!

Em said...

De-lurking week, huh? Well, here I am ... de-lurking. I can't remember how I first stumbled upon your blog but I read because I have a daughter a similar age to Ivy (Sierra is 19 months) and have definately discovered the babywearing love!

Jeni said...

Hello! I'm not really a lurker - I think I comment once a week or so. Your Ivy is absolutely precious, and I love seeing her grow!

Bess said...

I need the warm sunshine again...it brightens my mood and makes me less of a blog "lurker". :)

Kalee said...

Hey, it seems she has good self esteem and loves her self, haha! Good job mama!

Cute pic! What a fun story it will make later.

Carrie said...

oh... I didn't realize that reading without commenting made me a lurker. Guess that's what I am.

I love your blog - it helps me realize that even though I feel consumed with my baby (he's 6-months old), I don't have to lose my self to him. Thanks.

Raine said...

Hey!

Been lurking for over a year.... never said hi, so "Hi".
I subscribe to your feed via google reader so I never miss a post :)

Love it!

@sweetbabboo said...

She's too cute. Linus is very into shadows right now too except he calls them da-dows.

I'm not really a lurker but you knew that.

-Abby

Carrie @ Who Knew? said...

Oh my goodness that is so sweet. She is so beautiful.

Love that picture! That is too cute!

I'm kind of a lurker...I've posted comments a few times, but not regularly. I love your blog, though...I have almost 100 blogs in my reader, but I always check yours first to see if there are new posts!

She just melts my heart - almost as much as my daughter does. :)

KimzKreations Baby Slings said...

Hi Steph,
I've never thought of myself as a "lurker". To me that sounds kind of creepy.
I stop by often to "check you out". Now, doesn't that sound much better? LOL

Take care! :-)

designHER Momma said...

not really delurking - since I've been here 4eva...

Dawn said...

So sweet...I have to confess I do visit (lurk sounds so strange!) :)

allieinsavannah said...

Love following your blog. What a cute picture of Ivy! You are great at picking out the absolute cutest clothes for her too...So beautiful! My husband and I just moved to Savannah, GA from Chicago and we are missing the city like crazy. Your Chicago pics and stories make my heart ache a bit. I hope we can get back there soon, especially so that our litle baby (soon to arrive!!) can see the wonderful city he was made in!

Looking forward to future posts!

Holly at Tropic of Mom said...

Ivy is so sweet!

Mary @ Parenthood said...

So cute. My baby sister used to talk to her shadow. But I think she stopped when her siblings made fun of her. I hope Ivy's siblings are nicer about that sort of thing than we were!

Amy @ Six Flower Mom said...

Precious picture!

confused homemaker said...

Ivy's so sweet. I love that she's kissing her own shadow.

Thanks for the delurker idea!

TFB - The Fashionable Bambino said...

I'm new to your blog and that picture is way too cute!

That picture is adorable!! My daughter was fascinated with her shadow when she was Ivy's age. Every once in awhile her shadow catches her eye and it's wonderfully sweet. :)

De-lurking here. Wow, look at all these readers! I enjoy stopping by here to visit :)

Sarah@EmergingMummy said...

I'm not exactly a lurker but I only comment now and again (bad fellow blogger!).

I'm just outside of Vancouver, British Columbia.

embee said...

I usually don't comment so I guess that makes me a lurked. Anyhow, I just *love* that you are able to knit fir your little girl. I can't wait until God blesses me with a girl so I can knit cute stuff for her. :)

Joy said...

I've been reading your blog for I think five months now and have only commented once. Sorry. Such a lurker. But, in my defense, I'm usually nursing while reading. :) I really enjoy your blog, thanks for writing!

Prairie Lady said...

I read your blog faithfully. But only post occasionally because I usually have a little one in my arms.

ASUBttrfly said...

I meant to comment the other day when you first posted about delurking. I have read your blog for quite awhile now. Love your writing and all of your wonderful pictures!

JanMary said...

ooops - took me so long to get through my reader and delurk that you probably are suffering from exhaustion for all that blog visiting.

So don't worry - just saying "hi" from N Ireland.
