Iris standing, 9 months old

I will catch up on my pictures from the last month as soon as possible. For now, here is a sweet video of our strong 9 month old baby smudge. She is an energetic, determined, mischievous goof-ball that keeps us on our toes every day! She annoys Flora on a regular basis, smacks me in the face as often as she can (just cause it seems to be a great game!), laughs easily, loves to be outside, squints and squishes her little face, curls herself around Sylvie to fall asleep and then is found with her knees tucked under, bum high in the air, later. She still hates her carseat and we are pleasantly surprised when we accomplish a journey without many complaints from her. She loves opening and closing doors, especially the ones to our bedroom. Last night, she sat contently on Rich's lap and had a couple of stories read to her which was one of the first times she has had the attention span for it, probably because we have rarely had the chance to sit with her quietly and do it. Flora then let Rich know that he needed to read her two stories, not one, because that is what Iris got.
