Castalian Springs and Spot, TN Weekend




We made it out to the country all weekend. First to visit our new baby cousin, Aedan, in Castalian Springs, TN! Iris loved him and wanted to give him lots of kisses. My heart melted as he talked to me in the sweetest baby voice ever. Iris was mesmerized by this little baby in my arms. He is such a sweetheart. Thanks to Curt and Danielle & Jason and Amanda for having us in your lovely homes. Iris had such a blast. She even had her first Oreo experience at Curt and Danielle's! And she got to give lots of sugar to Amanda's sweet (and very tolerant) cat and got to chase Danielle's cat into a corner. She also coined the term Meow-mi as way to refer to the cats. So adorable. 
Then, on Sunday, we were off in the opposite direction heading for Spot, TN. It was a beautiful, but cold day that we got to spend with my Dad's side of the family. I, unfortunately, forgot the battery to my camera so I only have one phone photo. Thus, more to come later once I get my hands on Mom's camera. Iris loved the wagon rides and playing with her cousins. Thanks Eliza, Katherine, Jasmine, and Gracie for showing her so much love and such a good time. She spent lots of time playing ball, riding in the old radio flyer wagon, and playing the piano. She was in heaven!

Iris passed out on the trail walk. Too much fun conked her out.

Iris' new dance moves....

I'll take suggestions on phones that take good video. I clearly need one! :)

Some phone video's for Daddy....

 Sorry everyone, the quality is not too good, but you can get the gist. 

I walked in to Gamma and Pops house after a long day at work to find Iris taking her first steps!!! The only thing I had nearby was my phone. Thus, I captured the moment as best I could. She was so proud and I was such a proud Mommy!!!
