We celebrated Ivy's first birthday on August 3. Having been born in water, Ivy loves all things wet - baths, showers, and swimming! So we had a swim party at the (now vacant) Ambassador's residence, complete with balloons, streamers, good food and, of course, cake!Ivy is so big - she tries to run around to keep up with her brothers, and is getting faster every day. She says a few words (that only family members can decipher), waves and blows kisses, chews on anything she can get her 5 teeth on, and loves to laugh and smile. She likes to carry and hug her new doll, and is really into shoes. It's great having another girl in the family!
