Well, it is already November, which I find hard to believe. We have still failed to replace our digital camera, so the photos we have are from my smart-phone. A couple highlights below, and more (though not as many as usual given the afore-mentioned constraint) are up on flickr (see the link to the right). Iris spent last weekend at her Grandma Kathryn's house in Western MA. They had a blast. We arrived back in New Haven in time for a neighborhood Halloween party. We didn't actually go trick-or-treating - Iris is still a bit young for that and her Mama din't want candy in the house (Iris wasn't going to eat it, so . . . ). She did, however, happily wear her giraffe costume (sans the head/hood). Now, when we read about a giraffe in one of her books, she goes over to pat the costume (yes, it is still hanging by the door - putting away is not my strong suit). :)
In other news, she is learning many new words. Her pronunciation leaves a fair amount to be desired - pretty sure that Matt and I are the only ones who understand her. Nevertheless, she's got a lot of the colors: purple, of course!, blue, green, red and white. When in doubt, the answer is always purple. She also uses her new word "now" with great gusto. As in, it's 6:45am and she wants to go downstairs and outside. Mama says, 'we'll go outside later.' Iris retorts 'NOW!' Turns out the whole speaking thing is a double-edged sword. :) A nicer addition to her vocabulary is 'night,' as in good-night, which she now bids us as we put her to sleep.
A guest post from Mr. Daddy is promised soon, and now the photos:
