Six Weeks Plus; Grandmas visit; First Smile

Somehow it's been a week since our last post - little Iris has been keeping us busy! Lots of new photos to share below. The big news is that Iris smiled for the first time yesterday! It was very exciting for her parents (and much anticipated). It was great to hang out with her this morning as she looked around and produced a few more smiles.

Grandma Kathryn and Grandma Judith came to visit this weekend and we had a lot of fun with them. They looked after Iris while Gwyneth and Matt put together a dresser drawers from Ikea - always an adventure! This was part of our attempt to bring more order to the baby room/office/guest bedroom.


Some typical scenes:




Attempts at a three-generation picture (surprisingly, Iris wasn't exactly cooperating . . .)




A photo for GG's 91st birthday!

Iris in her new bath-tub. The first phase of the bath went much better (as seen by Iris not crying in the picture); however, phase two (hair-washing and drying off) went just as badly as ever. Oh, well.

Yeah, Aida is retired from bathing as it upset her so. We just give her towel baths somewhat frequently. I think she is old enough to forget the bath terrors so we shall try again soon...
