Iris's birthday party

The party was such a success that we forgot to take any pictures or videos.... Only after we put her to bed did we remember. Here's what's left of her birthday "ice cream cake".

Happy Birthday Iris!

We're having a small birthday party tonight for Iris - photos to follow!

Erik tries to sleep in...

Erik tries to get a few more winks by bringing Iris to our bed.

But no such luck!

Iris - the musical genius (!?)

maybe...maybe not...

Iris likes broccoli.

We enjoyed a hike up Pollack mountain last weekend. This is the same hike Erik and I did 5 years ago when we first met.


(the photo below is from 5 years ago!)


Iris tries Erik's downhill mtn biking helmet and gloves on for size. Maybe someday, little girl...

Iris is going (and growing) up!

Iris is getting bigger every day. And she's learning to stand up, take a few steps (holding on!) and climbing.

Here's Iris on one of the statues at the Vigeland park in Oslo, Norway.

Iris and Nana Ria (in Chicago)

Iris got to visit her grandma Maria and grandpa David in Chicago in July.

Iris likes to smell (and eat) the flowers...
