When Iris woke up this morning, I discovered a scratch on her face 🙁
So time for a baby manicure. I just used a nail file to smooth out the rough edges. This is already her second manicure. What a pampered baby! I just hope she doesn’t scratch herself again.
Ron took Simon to the Oakland zoo today. Simon loves the giraffes.
Iris’ silly face for today.

This duck T-shirt is one of Simon’s.

Snack time with Simon.
Love these chubby cheeks!

I thought Simon had a lot of cute outfits but girls definitely have more options to make cute outfits. Iris is wearing a little collared pink dress and a pink diaper cover to complete her outfit. When she gets a little bigger she also has hair accessories, stockings, cardigans, jewelry, etc.

Iris and mommy “talking”.
Iris fell asleep with both her arms up but didn’t stay asleep for long. She “startled” herself awake with a jerk of her arms and started to cry. She really needs to be swaddled and wrapped in her “straight jacket” blanket to sleep comfortably and for longer periods if time.
Simon doing some silly stretches. He’s so fidgety these days and can’t sit still for long. We wonder if this is normal? Maybe he just needs some more activities to release all that excess energy.
Milestone of the day for baby Iris: her little umbilical cord stump fell off and looks like she will be an “innie”. Also time to get her first real bath! Her poor skin is peeling off (which is normal) so I think a bath might help to keep her from being “flaky” all the time.

At Iris’ checkup last week, the pediatrician requested we take Iris in for a weight check so we did this morning and she has gained 7 oz in 5 days! I think that means she is getting enough milk :). She will have a 2 week follow-up appointment next week too. I had already forgotten how many check-ups newborns have in the beginning.
Tired out after the short trip to the hospital.
Yesterday was an “awake” day and today was a “sleepy” day. I love how relaxed babies are when they sleep. I tried closing her mouth but it popped right open again.
Big Brother Simon eating a big apple. Today he said “I love Iris”. *heart melts*
