Little Munch's Big Day

Irenie turned 1! How did this happen? We celebrated with some balloons and cake: Nailed it with the balloons... and she liked the way the cake looked: A little lukewarm on the part where you eat it, though: Happy Birthday Irene!

Nine months

Irene is nine months old today. We started the day like we usually do now, in her playroom letting her use us as a personal jungle gym. She is so curious about everything now. She's standing a lot, more and more without any assistance, though still tends to fall over

Happy November!

I usually drive, so it's pretty rare that I get to sit in the back and make faces and take photos of Irene while she gets chauffeured about. She's got a sort of routine of staring out the window, playing with her hands, looking at her feet and playing with

keeping coozy

I've been waiting for a while now for this hat to fit Irene; it was a gift from my namesake, my mom's friend Kate. I debated the various "berry" post titles I could use with these pictures, but decided I just couldn't do it.
