HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY!!!

It's the weirdest thing - it simultaneously seems like so long ago that this little baby came to be and completely changed our lives but also as if it was only a few months ago that we finally got to meet her. We can't remember what life was like before Iris and wouldn't want to as it has been truly the most amazing experience! Oh the hours that have been wiled away studying every inch of such a small being, from the new, chubby, gripping fingers, the first hint of a smile, the elbow dimples, the brow furrow, the happy nose crinkle and eye squint... We just marvel at the changes and new skills. Oh what she has to teach us - can't wait. Happy Birthday Iris, we LOVE you!

Iris loved her balloons that Grandma Lucking got for her. Her she is walking through the house with one of them. I don't want to spoil it but it has a sad ending:
Birthday suit!
