Kelly and I had just about enough of Ivy turning off the DVR in the middle of a show. Can you really blame her though? Electronics are very seductive. Our girl loved to turn the PS3 & DVD player on and to change the settings on the receiver. Today I took Ivy to target in hunt of a solution. Above is a photo of the new living room setup with the electronics far away and something else in Ivy reach.

Kelly and I picked out 2 different curtain sets at Ikea and ended up using both.

I took this with a Canon DSLR. It’s a digital still camera that isn’t meant to shoot video, it also has no microphone. Creates an interesting look with the 85mm f/1.8 lens. Ivy is 6 months old here.

Kelly left Ivy alone with Daddy for many hours one Saturday. Ivy and I made this video of her driving an RX-8 in the game “Gran Turismo” for playstation 3. If you are wondering… I didn’t MAKE her cry, just had to keep the camera rolling long enough. She wanted out of that chair.

Ivy’s about 3 months old in this video. Super low quality video, but Ivy’s cute.

Just in time for someone to live in it, the baby’s room is set up. I don’t think it’s quite “done” yet though, there is some prime wall space still empty. I plan on doing a painting for above the crib, we’ll see when that happens. Thanks to everyone who’s contributed to this room, I’m SURE Ivy will find it a calming and visually stimulating place.
