Iris' 1st Easter and more

Since Iris turned 7 months on April 22 I actually started on the blog on April 18 thinking I was ahead. That would have worked if it were not holy week. Besides the many events we attended, Holy Week ends with Easter. Holy photo opportunity! I limited the photos uploaded to 60 because there are way too many to put them all up.

Iris is growing fast and is developing a personality. We are very thankful that in general she is very happy. In addition to breast milk she has started solid foods this month which has been a whole new adventure. Her favorite so far seems to be carrots.  She has not started crawling but is starting to inch along on her belly backwards. (You can see it in the video below) She is very aware and interested in Soleil. (Soleil is less interested in her but wants her attention. )




We are in the 3rd week of our nanny share and Iris is having healthy attachment to Maria.  She is also enjoying her new friend from the other family. They may not be able to speak but they communicate.
We are very fortunate to have found an arrangement that works so well for all of us. 
We have missed having the Grandmas here but were lucky enough to have visits from Godfather Tommy and Grandpa Lou. We continue to adjust to being parents and learn from Iris every day.

As usual you can see photos of Iris on her site here http://irisgrace.shutterfly.com/pictures.
