The main news this past month was our trip to Minnesota for Thanksgiving. Other than getting her first real sickness (Which was no fun...Jeremy has a new respect for parents dealing with sick kiddos!), Irene had a great time visiting the family! She LOVES to spend time with her cousins Annika and Eric.
She weighs about 32.5 lbs and is 35+ inches tall...still a big 'un...
The countdown is on for the arrival of "baby Felix"...scheduled c-section Dec. 28th if he doesn't come sooner.
Check out the new album.

Summer in MN
now that Irene is over a year old, we probably won't be doing monthly updates, but rather updating with event worthy posts and or pictures...plus, it will give us a slight break until "Felix" arrives and we're back at posting at least once a month and probably more so...
Irene and Shannon spent all of July and half of August in Minnesota. It was a nice relaxing place for them while Jeremy sorted out all the transitional stuff for the move to Kentucky. Here is the latest web album of fun!

10 months goes by in a flash
Cliche's are cliche because they are true. time flies. we can't believe that Irene is 10 months old! She continues to get better at crawling. She zooms around the room in search of the next toy, book, swiffer, or just to follow us! She also loves to walk. She prefers to hold onto someone's hands (as you stand/walk behind her) but she will also walk holding onto furniture and even has a walking toy that she uses (she pushes it in front of her)...it has been a big month:
-Shannon and Irene visited Minnesota. Shan wanted to attend a baby shower for her childhood friend ANGIE who should be having her first baby any day now! also, in a bit of sad-yet-hope-filled-news, it was a great last time for baby Irene to see her great-grandmother-Irene! She passed away this past week...she lived a long good life and was ready to go HOME. Our sister-in-law blogged about it here. You should read it...she captured everything well.
-We took our first Florida vacation with the Iwasz-family! Irene LOVED the swimming pool and was a little fish; however, the same cannot be said about the BEACH...she hated the sand with a passion and only slightly put up with the ocean. She would tolerate it only if I were clutching her as tightly as I could while saying soothing things to her the whole time. but she loved hanging out with the family, her baby cousin, 3 dogs (two of them black!), and watching all the birdies/seagulls!
-she finally cut her first tooth! we were on the beach and she was playing with an empty glass bottle. She was sucking on the end of the neck and Shannon heard a "clink clink" sound! it was a super fun discovery, although not as fun that night when she woke up at 2am and would not get back to sleep until 4am...apparently cutting teeth hurts.

Irene is 2 months old! (almost)
There is a LOT we could/should post about but it is late and I need to go to bed. These are some recent things of note:
-she LOVES to take baths now. She kicks so much and is really relaxed in the water. she is super calm and just loves for us to talk to her and dump warm water on her head/body.
-she really responds to talking. we have had several "conversations". she even gets fussy if you get distracted (by the television for example) and she'll let you know she doesn't appreciate it.
-she is really smiley (when all things are well)...she has the biggest smile that will melt your heart (like her momma!)...also has a sort of half smile that looks like her dad's little smirk.
-she weighs 14 lbs. and seems to be getting ginormous.
-she is sleeping for longer stretches. we've ventured into the 6 hour duration (occasionally)...more of these would be grand.
-Shannon and Irene had a great time in MN! Irene met lots of people who love her and we were really thankful for the shower thrown by our family/friends.
-this is the latest fun video...it is a tad long but you get a wide range of facial expressions AND it shows her trying to copy what we are doing with our tongues/mouths/etc, which she has been doing more and more of:
-and be sure to check out the new album!

some really REALLY good pix...
before we get to the pix...check out this video (taken before Shan/Irene went to MN)...I'm not sure how it happened, but our daughter looks like she belongs in Flashdance:
ok...now go check out the pix on this link...A friend of ours in MN started her own photography company. She is awesome and we love the pictures she takes! She took these last Thursday or Friday (can't remember?) at Shan's parent's house.
Irene is beautiful (and so is her mom)
