splish splash they were taking a bath...

This was the first time Iris took a bath in the big tub! She loved watching Jordan splash around. They were so cute together!

Iris at 7 months!

I know, my blog has been picture crazy lately! I just have so many pictures from the last few weeks and I feel behind if I don't get them on the blog. I took these pictures of Iris yesterday. She turned 7 months old this week! She continues to change every single day. She's sooo close to crawling. She has mastered the army crawl and makes her way across the room every time I put her down. She looks like a clumsy little inchworm....it's so cute. She also has her first tooth in! I wish time would slow down some!

Easter Egg Hunt

Jordan looked for Easter eggs in Grandma's backyard with his cousins, Jack and Lilly. They found lots of candy-filled eggs! We still have a stash in the cupboard. Good thing Jordan doesn't know where it's hidden! Candy just magically appears from time to time:)

Boys will be boys

Having a boy is so much fun! Jordan is already a sports nut. That's all he wants to do. I think his favorite sports are baseball and golf. He was so funny swinging his golf club in the yard the other day. He would put his ball on the tee, line his club up, pause, and then take this big swing and wack the ball across the yard. Mike and I were cracking up because nobody taught him to swing like that...he must have seen it on tv. Jordan loves to watch golf. How is a 2 year old entertained by golf on tv?! I'll never forget the first time Mike was showing Jordan how to putt the ball. Mike said, "Ok buddy, make sure you keep your eye on the ball." Without hesitation, Jordan got down on the ground and put his eyeball right on the ball. It was hilarious! Mike and I couldn't stop laughing about it. And as for baseball, anything and everything becomes a baseball bat. Whenever we play baseball and Jordan misses the ball, he says "Nice try!" or "Almost!" He's just too funny.

Easter Morning

Coloring Easter Eggs

Good friends...Good times...

Our good friends, Rob and Mariah, came for a visit Easter weekend. As always, we had a great time with them! We spent most of the weekend in Ann Arbor, walking around and eating good food:) Jordan loved playing with "Uncle Bobby" and "Aunt Riah". Thanks guys for coming out! Come back soon;)

Iris at 6 1/2 months old

At 6 months old, Iris is such an alert and active baby! She loves to be where the action is. I lay her down on the floor to play and she rolls...and rolls...and rolls. She can get to whatever she sets her eyes on by rolling, turning, and inching herself to the object, even if it's something clear across the room. It is so funny to watch her. If I put her in her bouncer and don't strap her in, within seconds she flips herself over and inches her way out of it and onto the ground.
Iris is now sitting up on her own. She likes to sit there and play with her toys or roll the ball back and forth to Jordan. She's also eating 3 meals a day, which she loves! I think her favorites are carrots and applesauce. She's still nursing every 3-4 hours. I've tried giving her a few bottles of formula to see how she'd do and she hates it. She takes one drink and she's done. Looks like we may be nursing longer than I anticipated!
Iris has been more vocal the past month or so. She likes to say "da da da da." She makes so many cute noises. In fact, as I'm typing this, she's in her jumparoo talking up a storm.
Here are a few pictures from last week. Isn't she precious?
