5 months old

To my sweet Ireland, 

 Where did the last 5 months go?!  I can't believe you are already five months old!  Your personality is really starting to show.  You used to love sitting in your swing and watching everything.  Now, you want to be part of the action.  Your smile and laugh are infectious.  You love to laugh at your brother and love to blow bubbles and make silly noises.       

You are a drool monster and we wonder if you have some teeth coming.

You suck in your bottom lip just like your big brother. 

Those big blues eyes sure do melt your daddy's heart.

I wasn't sure about having a daughter, and thought I wanted all boys.  You have proven me wrong.  I love the bond we have already.  I love picking out your outfits, matching your bows and looking at all your shoes.  You have changed me in the best way. 

You STILL are not sleeping through the night.  I know one day I will look back and miss those middle of the night feedings and snuggles. 

You are so different than your brother, and I love you for all the things that make you different.  Thanks for picking me as your mommy.  I love you!!!

Love, Mommy
