13 months

So, what's new in the Jones Eckelman household? Iris passed the thirteen month mark last week. She is doing great - sleeping well and consistenly napping twice a day. Thank goodness we've moved beyond the ear infection! Her main love these days is sliced muenster cheese - she can not get enough of it. Her love affair with bananas is on the wane. She refuses to eat pretty much any vegetables at home; yet, somehow, she eats them happily at day-care. Ah, the mysteries of day-care . . .

We recently spent the weekend in Braintree with Uncle Brian, and had the opportunity to get the whole Jones clan together as well! Bill and Judith came down from Maine, and joined Matt, Alison and Petra who ventured down from Canbridge.

Iris in pig-tails! Another mystery of day-care is how they get her to stay still long enough to do this!

With her new push-toy! She has figured out that even more fun than pushing it is getting in it and having Mama push her around (see below)! Crafty baby! Watching her get in and out (she barely fits) is pretty funny.

A happy bear.
