Happy 1st Birthday, Iris!

Today our lovely Iris turns one.

She is such a happy girl, and we have grown to love her oh so much in the year she's been with us. 

She loves her big brother,

kisses,

walking, (just like a BIG GIRL!)

her handsome daddy,

bananas,

Rosie,

her baby doll,

and Mommy, most of all. 

Big Girl, Rockin'

Iris is so proud that she can climb into my rocking chair. 

She hasn't *quite* gotten the hang of rocking though...

Fortunes

I dig Chinese food.

Fortune cookies are goofy.

Here are ours from last time (remarkably prophetic!)

Mine : 

Nah, but I'll write a blog post.

Jeremy's :

And just look at Iris! Crawling! Daddy is so proud!

Eli's : 

More like every day!

Happy hump day! 

:o)

Iris Is Especially Good at Expectorating!

It's a shame she has no swell cleft in her chin...

I Belong To The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints!

I just love this video.

Iris' Amazing Powers

This is Iris, and her cute butterfly toy, that for lack of a better name we call "pretty butterfly friend". This is unusual, since we are a family of namers. I'm sure we'll name the butterfly shortly.

Iris has not yet "discovered" her hands, which leads to an interesting question.

Do you suppose she thinks she's moving pretty butterfly friend with her mind?

p.s. I have decided that pretty butterfly friend's name is Betsy.
