Instagram Baby

As mentioned in my previous post, I use Instagram like crazy these days. To me, it’s the little things in each day that mean so much, but are often so hard to remember years down the road. This app allows me to capture those moments, archiving them in a creative little package. I often worry that I post too much, but then I think how cool it would be if I had my childhood captured so thoroughly. I literally have a picture of Iris from every day of her life… That’s one mighty scrapbook.

Here are our latest memories…


Carrots!

Lookin for trouble under there, I suppose.

More interested in the hanger today.

Oh, babe.

This girl is on the move.

Staying the night at Grandma's so we can go to Wilco!

She likes her snacks.

Me & Iris. I still think she looks more like Todd.

Me & Iris.

Howdy!

We do push-ups now. She most definitely did not learn that from me.

She keeps peeking inside the hole.

Puff lost in a belly roll.

Snack puff lost in a belly roll. We've all been there.

My first Mother’s Day!

Happy Mother's Day! I got to sleep in till 7:15 (!) and daddy dressed her just for me.

Go Grizz! Iris believes.

We made a decision - Iris starts Montessori next month! Thanks for everyone's comments.

One of two times Iris has ever had both shoes on at once.

Another lovely afternoon for a blanket in the backyard.

Already asking to borrow the car.

I wish my bed head looked this good.

Apparently Iris has her own greeting card line at Target.

Peek a boo!

Right after this picture, she say up from being on her belly - for the first time ever!

Playing with the blocks my daddy made me when I was a baby.

Oh my loves!

Took a detour down the Barbie aisle.

Goodnight, sleep tight.

Iris’ cousin Cole turned one!

Playin with Cousin Cole

Happy 1st birthday Cole!

Excited for the Block Street Block Party today. We'll be hangin at the @fvilleflyer booth!

She's growing up so fast. Well, except for the Cookie Monster on her butt.

Tuesday!

Summer dresses made with vintage fabric by Kerri.

Sweetest lil vintage fabric apron dresses made by @kerrisnead!

I love her one freckle.

I love her single freckle.

An afternoon with an old family friend.

Most things are a blur with her now.

Spending the day with Grandma, shopping for flowers. I love getting picture updates of their day.

Helping make the bed for our guest! He's in for a treat with these sheets!

She's happy @sethyg is here.

Swimsuits…..

Anyone have a swimming suit this child can borrow? She's severely lacking.

Pool party!

Ros & Iris. Pool grumps. @ginrunner

Weekly Sam's trip in her Nona shirt & baby Carhartts. Shout out to @anitameans, @hstrauss81 & the random grandpa in the back.

A breezy backyard day.

Starting her young. Letting her play with our old camera.

Poor babe has an ear infection.

Bath hair.

We're on the mend, people!

Bath frog.

She makes magic happen.

This girl makes magic happen.

Happy Friday!

Sometimes this happens.

Sometimes this happens. AKA: time for bed.

Now that she's mastered crawling, this is her new thing.

Her hair is getting lighter. Right now it looks like we gave her highlights.

Fresh peaches she loves. Fresh bananas + strawberries literally make her puke.

We love Little Giraffe blankets.
I got the big one on Gilt Groupe for half price!

Iris and I both are obsessed with Little Giraffe blankets.

Our silly animals.

My life. #catsofinstagram

And after.

We went to see Wilco!

Brandy and I were crazy lucky – a stranger asked us if we wanted his seats, which were literally front row, center.

Summerteeth. #wilco

Um, a stranger just gave us his tickets - front row center. Hello, Jeff Tweedy!

Antique store browsing in Prairie Grove.

Exploring the Prairie Grove antique shops.

Going through our storage.

Thinking of selling my vintage bicycle on Craigslist for cheap. It needs a lot of work, but it says "celebrity" AND has a bell!

Going though our storage shed...

Todd found a 10 dollar bill. Daaaaaamn.

Memphis.

Baby Lucero.

Cookie crumble frap? Duh.

@fvilleflyer represent! Get a tee this Sunday at the Block Street Block Party.

My favorite store ever. Berryville, Arkansas.

My favorite store in the world.

Heeeey.

Vintage toys for days.

Stopping at thrift shops along our drive.

Hit the vintage baby denim jackpot.

Arkansas. The drive home.

The Fayetteville Flyer’s dunk booth for charity at the Block Street Block Party.

Dunk tank with @dbartho!

Iris got sick, so we went home & had our own block party.

Iris wasn't feeling well, so now we're having our own block party at home.

Isn’t this the saddest face you’ve ever seen?

My poor babe! Hope she's just teething.

Feeling better.

Feeling better today!

Todd made these for Iris!

Tiny #arkansas shirts @jtoddgill made for Iris. ❤

I’m selling more vintage baby cuteness on Etsy!

Just put some vintage baby bedding in the Etsy shop! bittersweetstyles.com

Washing my car for me because I never do it.

Best. Life. Ever.

Seriously. This guy has it made. #catsofinstagram

My mom got us a family membership to the Mt. Sequoia pool. Love.

Fayetteville friends! Mt. Sequoyah summer pool membership = awesome. We're the only ones here!

Pool time.

Crazy chair!

Another one from the pool today. She didn't crap in the water, so I consider it a success!

@jtoddgill and I are both sick. Pretty sure we got it from this stinker.

Her first pony (and fingers for breakfast).

Iris had her last day at daycare today, which obviously wore her out (she never does this). Montessori starts Monday!

Post-bow hair.

My lovely.
