Iris' Firsts

Today Iris got her ears pierced and I was proud of myself at how well I handled it. Oh and she did well too. But it got me thinking about her other firsts that she's already gone through and I thought I'd just do a quick update of her little life so far.


On June 10th, 2012 she had her first blessing from her daddy.


Later that night her chord fell out so she had her first bath.
I love her curly unmanageable hair. She probably won't when she's older though.



Next, at just 7 1/2 weeks old she flipped from tummy to back for the first time.
Now I know some moms like to oversell how advanced their child is and imagine things that an outside party wouldn't exactly see. Like "oh my gosh she said her first word" and it was clearly just gibberish. I'm sure I'll be guilty of that eventually but as of now my baby girl flipped at 7 1/2 weeks. No, she didn't just loose balance she does it every day. Yes, that's early for her age. Yes, I like to brag about it. Until she starts crawling and walking early then I won't be so thrilled.



Next at 2 months old she got her first shots.
I HATED having to do this. She got over the actual shot in about 30 seconds but the after part killed her and me. She constantly kicks her legs and anytime she did she puckered her bottom lip and let out the most pitiful cries. I should have given her Tylenol beforehand now I know better for next time. That's my mom's genius idea called a "boo boo bag" it's just full of rice so you can freeze it or put it in the microwave. It saved the day.



Then on August 4, 2012 she went into the pool for the first time.

And she LOVED it. Tommi seriously thinks with how much kicking she does and how her pediatrician says she's very active for her age that she's going to be this great advanced athlete. I personally, don't care. But she is dang cute splashing and kicking in the water.



And finally, what happened today. Her first and ONLY piercing.
She did really well. I thought I was going to cry but I didn't probably because of how quickly she got over it. Man. I seriously made a perfect baby.
