This past Saturday Iris turned a whole MONTH old. I seriously can’t believe how fast the weeks are flying by.
At one month old, she often seems older than she really is. Maybe it’s the full helmet of hair. Maybe it’s her size. Maybe it’s that she’s already smiling a TON and lifting her head for long periods of time. She seems super strong and she’s always super hungry. Recently that’s come with some super fuss too. We aren’t very close to having a schedule yet, but I’ve been lucky to sleep for three to four hours straight at night fairly often.
I’m in the midst of writing about her birth, so that will come soon. But for now, let me share some photos from the past couple of weeks…
Here we are on her one month birthday.
Silly girl, silly dad.
We’ve been loving the autumn weather.
It’s perfect for snuggles.
And kisses. Lots of them.
I love that my life now includes finding tiny socks on the floor.
Iris hated sponge baths, but now likes the real thing.
And our cat likes to help out.
While Grandma likes to tuck in her pants like Steve Urkle.
She had her first nap in the crib (she sleeps in a bassinet in our room for now).
She had visitors from out of town. Lots of them, with lots of love.
I told you she likes to eat.
At three weeks she was already fitting into some of her three month clothes.
Thank god she doesn’t mind playing dress up.
She met her new friend, Rosalyn.
And slept through the whole thing.
We often have story time with Goodnight Moon (my favorite from when I was little).
And every night dad sings her songs.
