4 months old

It's hard to believe that Iris is 4 months old! At her doctor appointment last week she weighed 13 lbs. I looked in Jordan's scrapbook and at his 4 month visit he weighed 16 lbs! Iris is now rolling over quite a bit and she's also grabbing at toys. She nurses every 2-3 hours and still sleeps randomly throughout the day. At night she wakes once or twice to nurse for a few minutes and then falls right back to sleep. I need to break her of this habit very soon. I keep saying I'm going to do it, but then 3 am rolls around, I'm exhausted and I don't want her crying to wake Jordan up so I just nurse her real quick and then she sleeps with me the rest of the night. Another bad habit! Ah well, when it's your second, you do whatever it takes to make sure everyone is getting sleep! It's funny how laid back I am this time around....no routines, we just go with the flow!

So sweet

I love this picture of Jordan talking to his baby sister....so sweet.

Sleeping beauty

I knew these pictures of Iris seemed like deja vu. Check out the pictures of Jordan as a baby (below.) I think it's safe to say they look like brother and sister.

Flower Girl

Iris is now 3 1/2 months old. She's such a good baby...just as sweet as can be. This past week we drove out to Colorado and back (22 hours each way) and she rarely made a peep! She's a very content baby, especially since she discovered her thumb....yes, she's a little thumb-sucker! I'm not sure what to think about that. She looks adorable sucking her thumb and she has mastered the art of self-soothing, which I LOVE being Jordan wasn't very good at that. I'm hoping we won't have too hard of a time breaking the habit down the road though. Any advice on that matter would be greatly appreciated!



These flower pot pictures are from about a month ago but I hadn't gotten around to posting them. Based on the pictures above you can see how much she's changed in just the past month!

Getting bigger by the day!

Iris at 2 Months Old

Here is Iris at 2 months old. She has changed so much in the last month. She's now smiling and cooing at us quite often. She loves to be talked to and still loves to be held. She's gotten over her "fussy" stage and hasn't had the discomfort that she had when she was first born. She's still nursing around the clock, usually every 1 1/2-2 hours! She's a fast nurser though, so I don't really mind. I can't believe how fast she's growing. It seems like each week she looks so much bigger than the week before. She's fitting into her 3 month clothes really well now and will probably even move to her 3-6 month clothes very soon here. Mike and I always comment on how sweet she is. I think she already has us both wrapped around her little finger.
