1 month old




It's so hard to believe Iris is over a month old already! She has changed so much since the first week she was home. She's now awake almost the entire day...this girl rarely sleeps! Iris is quite the eater, as you can tell from the pictures:) She's eating every 2 hours, sometimes sooner. She reminds me of Jordan at this age. He was always a big eater as well and put on baby chub very quickly! Iris is definitely fussier than Jordan was though. Unless she's held every second that she's awake, she is not a happy camper! And even when she's held, she fusses a lot from what I think is gas. I'm sure it's also due to the fact that she has a bowel movement only once every 4 or 5 days. Last night Mike ran to Meijer to get some Karo Syrup, which is what the doctor recommended I try giving her. I put a little in a bottle mixed with breastmilk, but she hardly drank any of the bottle. She was so uncomfortable last night. We felt so bad for her! :( That's the update with Iris. We sure are loving her to pieces. She's just a little doll!
