MILESTONES...

Iris is on the move. She is climbing up stairs, over Stogey, and practically anything I might use to keep her away from both. She is little miss independent and will tell you what she thinks when you stop her from doing what she wants. She looks at me with a big grin on her face when I tell her no... UH OH. She is able to feed herself puffs and is very proud in doing so. She has fallen in loooove w/a white porcelain bunny at mom and dad's. She gingerly picks it up and brings it to her face for an eskimo kiss. It is so sweet. She does it over and over. Also, She has discovered that violently kicking her legs in the bath causes a great splash. So, of course, she does this at every bath. She is already wearing 12 months clothes and her top two teeth are coming in. She is such a good girl. Yesterday I needed to mow the lawn in a major way. It has been raining here for days and won't be stopping anytime soon. Everyone in the neighborhood rushed out after work to cut their lawns during the small break in rain. I put Iris in her pack in play on the porch and she watched Mommy mow the lawn. I wasn't to sure how that would turn out, but thank goodness she kept herself occupied. Truthfully, I think the tall grass was starting to embarrass her. :) I'm looking forward to celebrating my first Mothers day this Sunday with my Mom, Dad, and Iris at Bonefish! D.J. will be home next week. Yay!!!

Good thinking on the solution for what to do with Iris while you mowed! I don't know if I would have figured that one out...guess you do what you have to! Happy 1st Mother's day to you! Get you some bang bang shrimp:)
