Iris finally understood that everyone at the party was there for her when we all gathered around the cake to sing "Happy Birthday." Her face lit up at the line, "Happy birthday, dear Iris..." And she successfully blew the candle out all by herself.
I was very excited for her birthday this year so we decided to invite a bunch of people over to hang out in our backyard. Evan's parents came to town, as did my dad. (My mom couldn't stay for the party because of some appointments she couldn't change back up in North Dakota. But we'll see her again in a couple of weeks.)

In case we were going to forget that Iris is now officially a toddler,
she reminds us by constantly saying, "No." Most of the time I then give
her two options and she's happy to choose between one of the options.
Maybe not my favorite feature of toddlerhood. Something much more
exciting is Iris singing the "Itsy Bitsy Spider."
