Happy Monday

The many faces of Ida, taken last week.

Spring!

This weekend, the temperature reached the low 60s and we took advantage and took IRX for a walk around the neighborhood.

Up early in the morning. Like before sunrise early.


Waiting for Mama to finish checking FB on her iPhone.


Diaper changed, ready to go out:


With her Mama, in matching outfits.


IRX reacts to me saying, "Make a cute face..."



Ida got to spend lots of time with her Cousin Penelope this weekend, pictures to come.

IRX is just about 10 weeks old, and still tiny enough to fit on a calendar!



I love her model-esque pose in that photo, and I promise we had nothing to do with it (short of placing her on the calendar). The one leg up is her own signature style.

We have been having a lot of fun dressing the baby, although NX and I don't always see eye-to-eye when it comes to Ida Fashion. She likes a mismatching stripes kind of look, while I like to dress her like a leprechaun. Hey - it is the right time of year!



NX changed her outfit as soon as I wasn't looking!

Anyway, the shoes she's wearing are Ugg rip-offs from the Gap, a hand me down from The Cutest Toddler Ever, our niece P-LO. IRX has a lot of shoes. I mean, a LOT:



My current favourites are the polka-dotted Vans:



Almost all of these have been gifts, and I get it. Baby shoes are tiny and adorable, just like baby feet. What's not to love?

2 Months!

It's a good things babies don't remember much of anything, because a lot of IRX's earliest memories would consist of waking up to me staring lovingly at her with either a goofy smile on my face or tears in my eyes. Creepy. Like in the movies when someone is washing their face and when they close the medicine cabinet, there's someone standing behind them. But creepier.

Either that or waking up to both her parents on their iPhones, looking at pictures of her, even though the real thing is inches away. Here's a sampling of the phone pictures:

Lost in a sea of comforter






We're seeing a lot more social smiling and laughing.



This picture was taken at her 2 month check up, right before her shots.


She was great, only a minimum amount of crying. IRX weighs in at 9lbs 2oz and 21.5 inches long. She's in the 10th percentile for weight, 25th for length. A little peanut, but growing at a good pace. She's finally on the verge of outgrowing her newborn diapers and moving to size 1!

Bad parents!

Here it is, March 4th and I'm just uploading IRX's February portrait. But honestly, I think we took the picture just a few weeks ago. Where does the time go?



After a few sneak previews, Ida has started to smile and laugh. She's a very chatty baby, which is no surprise considering her parents. Video to come soon.

She's getting bigger and bigger, fitting into the 0-3 clothes, but still able to wear her newborn stuff. Luckily, she is starting to grow out of her preemie clothes. She's still wearing them, but with a few alterations (we cut off the feet):


Ida has lots and lots of family. Here she is with her Grandpa Ed.


Ida is over this whole matching thing.


So is Penelope.


Here's IRX at her first art opening, with our friend Amy. They often match, but not on purpose.


Sleeping baby.
