Iris at 6 Months | Still Perfect

She's only been here for six months but already I don't remember what life was like before her. I no longer think of my sister in terms of her and her husband, but in terms of her family. I find myself referring to "my niece" as often as possible and I absolutely revel in every chance to call myself "Aunty". 

This girl, this little 6-month-old baby girl with huge blue eyes and barely-there hair... she just sleighs me. My heart is always so full when I am around her, bursting even, there's no other way to describe it. When she looks at me and smiles with her whole face, I can't help but melt... completely. And then when she makes one of her crazy faces... I just die. There isn't anything that I wouldn't do for her. 

Here's a little sneak peek of her 6-month photos. Prepare for adorable overload. :)

Her face. It's endlessly entertaining!

I took some birthday-suit pics of her and they are seriously the most adorable pictures that I've ever taken! I wish I could show you the pictures of Mari that my dad took when she was Iris's age... it's amazing. Iris is basically the lighter version of Mari. :)

I'm sure Mari will be posting the rest of the pics over on her blog, so I will refrain from posting too many of them here. :)
