Iris is 9 months old!

Wow, didn't I just post about her being 3 months old? We are having so much fun around our house. Iris is mobile, Jeremiah is silly and we are busy!

At 9 months, Iris...

*crawls at breakneck speed

*pulls up

*knows what the garage door opening means... Daddy's home!

*love, love, loves her Daddy, I thought Jeremiah lit up when Al came into a room, but there is something special about a little girl and her daddy

*eats solids 3 times a day and so far autumn veggies are her favorites

*drinks water from a sippy cup, but just like her brother she prefers to drink from my water bottle

*now shares a room with her big brother and they love to make each other laugh

*would rather play with a cell phone or remote than her toys

*likes to be kept on a schedule and does not like when that schedule gets changed

*has 7 teeth in and is STILL working on 2 more up top

*loves to have her belly tickled

*makes our lives more fun!

We are so thankful for this beauty that makes our lives more beautiful!

A couple of silly faces for your Friday night

This is Jeremiah at 5 months old and Iris at 8 months old (sitting with Jeremiah, 2 years old). They know how to make us smile!

Iris is 8 months old!

It has been a busy month in our house so I am a bit behind getting this post up!

Iris is 8 months old! At 8 months Iris...

*crawls all over the place!

*she gets into everything. If there are 20 toys in the floor she will find a shoe to chew on, a piece of paper to eat or a choo choo to suck on.

*is not a great solids eater. She gets food offered to her 3 times a day, but would much rather nurse than sit in her chair and eat. When she does eat her solids well her favorites are spinach, zucchini and butternut squash.

*waves bye-bye and says, "ba-ba".

*recognizes her daddy, mommy and big brother by name.

*loves to sing songs and dance.

*has seven teeth and more coming in all the time.

*loves to ride in her stroller with her big brother and as of Monday she will "run" in her first race!

*has her favorite people and when she sees them, she lights up!

*thinks her brother is hilarious, even when he sits on her.

*does not enjoy her car seat.
