I really call Ivy by several names: Ivy, Ivylarue, Lucy, Lulu, and Sweet Pea.
She answers to them all.
Today she is three. Three. THREE. Born at home just like I'd dreamed.
THREE.

ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable dress - perfectly styled - on such a sweet three year old.
(Baby birthdays make me oh so nostalgic.)
Oh heavens....those eyelashes in that last photo.....ridiculous. RIDICULOUS! She's grown into a very pretty little lady. And...are those Missoni tights? (-;
ReplyDeleteOh...and by the way, love me some Designer Desserts. Did you know the dinosaur has a name? It's Chocosaurus. I asked.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe she's three! I remember getting cupcakes on her first birthday...wow. Time.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday Ivy, you are one adorable little lady!!!! Love your smile
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Miss Ivy!!! Hope you have a great day!!!
ReplyDeleteOhhh...Happiest Birthday to Miss Ivy! I'm just a stranger, but Stephanie, you and your stories (including the ones about Ivy, of course) have been a blessing to me since I've started reading. (Thank you.)

I'm having a hard time with this 3 business. First Ivy and Asher, then my Baby Dude in 12 days. What gives? Why do they have to get so big? Sigh.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, beautiful Ivy. xo
Happy Birthday! She is suce a beautiful girl with so much style! I was at target when the opened. She is rocking those leggings!
ReplyDeleteOh my - that outfit is adorable! And I'll be using Ivy's super cute haircut as inspiration when and if my Lilah ever grows any hair - haha! Happy Birthday to your cute girl!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, Ivy!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe she's already three. I also can't believe she has the countenance of someone much older. She seems equal parts wise and whimsical.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, IVY!! i can't believe you are already three! such a wonderful age :)
ReplyDeleteoh, and i didn't snatch up any missoni :( i loved those adorable little ponchos but esme said NO! and the throw that i wanted for myself was gone. boo!!

Happy Birthday Ivy. My 2 year old grandson Jacob shares a birthday with you.
ReplyDeleteOh, these two just melt mah heart.
ReplyDeleteHappy day, babies.
Happy Birthday, precious Ivy girl! She looks so adorable and her and Asher together!
ReplyDeleteI am a total nickname person, too. All of my kids have so many nicknames!
What gorgeous babies you've made. So happy for you that you had the birth experience you wanted. I had that with my second child and still cherish the memory 20 years later.
ReplyDeleteHappy! Happy! Miss Ivy!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, sweetcheeks!
ReplyDeleteHappiest Birthday Ivy LaRue! Love her style.
ReplyDeleteMy Ivy has that Misha dress too. :)
happy birthday ivy!! that's the best bday dress ever...and i love the leggings. i also got sucked in.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe she's three. Three. Watching her grow has been the best part of my blogging career thus far. You have been, and always will be, the one I look to for inspiration, words of wisdom, beauty, and just a kind smile in this crazy blogosphere. So happy third birthday to Ivy, a little girl that made me want to be a girl-mom, even though I never thought it'd be me.
ReplyDeletehappy third birthday, beautiful ivy la rue!! i love your spunky style!
ReplyDeleteHow can your sweet baby be three already.... really!!! Happy Wonderful Birthday!!! I hope you all have a fabulous day of fun because of it!!!

Aren't little girls just the quirkiest magic?

ReplyDeleteI just really can't believe it. I think I said that exact same thing last year. And the year before. I remember waiting expectantly for her and hearing she came and reading about her over and over. What the world be like without Ivy? I mean, it was waiting for her!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated!!!
Happy Birthday Ivy! She is just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday sweet Ivy!

ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting our little blog.

Happy Birthday to your sweet baby girl. There is nothing like 3. ;)
ReplyDeleteHappy Belated Birthday Ivy. I totally remember reading her birth story right after she was born. Cannot believe it was three years ago. Just told my bub that I am amazed at how quickly time is rushing by us -- my babies are growing up too fast!
ReplyDeleteShe is SO gorgeous Steph and her clothes are always so precious and perfect for her.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry I'm SO horribly late to wish her a Happy Birthday. Looks like it was wonderful!!
