Our Little Tiny

IRX had her 1 year check up today and she continues to be our tiny (with a big head): 17 lbs, 7 oz and 29 inches with a head size of 45.5 cm. Small but with a double chin and big belly.

Baby's Got a New Pair of Shoes!

IRX's new shoes, on deep deep discount. To paraphrase AshmanLisAshman, I could die. Baby shoes are definitely my weakness.

Ida Turns 1!

IRX's first birthday and we couldn't be more proud of the little person she is at this moment: loving, caring, silly, and fun. A wild child. Full of life.

Her birthday proper was almost derailed when CP tried to bake a cake and then ran out of time, so they scooped me up from work on Friday and we went to WF and picked up a cake. I was tempted by the mini tarts, mini pies, and mini eclairs, but we were there to pick up a cake. You only turn 1 once.
What's going on?

Hesitant. Memories of Mamas shouting "Ida, no!" running through her head.

Okay, no one is stopping me...


Going for it!



Can't eat anymore. I've loosened my diaper. Maybe if I move around a little...



All that exercise has made me hungry.


They don't call it a "smash" cake for nothing.
