So we've had an AWESOME week of playing with friends, hanging out at the pool, working in the yard and even trying out new hairstyles. :)
Iris is 3 1/2 months now and is getting so strong! She can now sit up on her own for about 20 seconds at a time (but still at a forward tilt) and she loves to "stand" on laps and bounce on your knees. She's also getting pretty good at learning how to put herself to sleep for naps, which I'm pretty pumped about. She's even learned how to pull her covers up to her head just like Daddy.
The BIG news of this week is that I'm going back to work half-time!!!! I've worked out a deal at the office and half-time it is! I truly feel like I've got the best of both worlds. I'll still be working some, but I'll be able to be a "Mommy" during the daylight hours - not just during the weekends. Erik and I feel so lucky!! So, a happy clan of V'lips reside in Iowa City. :)
Here are some pics from this past week! We had a wonderful play date at the pool with "Hank the Tank" and the two COULDN'T be any cuter together! There was even impromptu hand holding. I think it might be love. :) And we found that Iris can apparently sport a late 60's bubble flip without the flip - check out that volume! And of course, when Erik and I were doing some pruning in the front yard, we got a bit distracted.
Enjoy! We sure are! :)

"Oh, Daddy - shave those whiskers! I'm a delicate thing!" says baby Iris at the latest picture.
They are all fun doings. It is obviously a happy household, and we can't wait to share. See you Friday night!?
