Iris is 7 months old!

Iris is 7 months old and quite the busy girl! She is so much fun to have around, I can't imagine life without her! Everywhere we go she has a smile for anyone who looks her way, but she is also becoming more aware of strangers. Al and I began training for a 10k a few weeks ago so we've been going running about 3 times a week as a family, babies in the stroller with Daddy pushing. Even in the stroller she'll stretch and sit up if someone is passing us! It is adorable. On to the update!

At 7 months Iris....

*has 4 teeth with 2 more pushing their way through

*likes to use those 4 teeth to bite fingers or anything else she can get in her mouth

*eats veggies, fruits and cereal each day, but so far her favorites are sweet potato and zucchini

*squeals and talks all the time and according to Jeremiah, she sounds like a monkey :)

*scoots on her belly or rolls to get where she needs to go, but can also get up on all fours and rock back and forth

*sleeps like a champ at night, but isn't fond of long naps during the day

*still thinks her brother is hilarious and her daddy is awe inspiring

*loves to jump in her monkey jumper

*is super-duper ticklish

*loves music and being sung to

*gives kisses sometimes when you ask, but mostly just when she wants to
