So Far In 2012...



I am excited to see, or continue to see, how much Ireland will accomplish this year.  

Ireland is 6 months old already and I can't believe it! 
Some days I feel like she is still 1 month old, and some days I feel like she is 1 year old.

New Years Eve she ate her first bowl of cereal ......


and LOVED it!

She started scooting, or what Dev & I like to call it "Bear Crawling/Worm" 

She would get on all fours and then immediately up on her tiptoes and then kind of "worm" her way down. 


Not long after her first taste of cereal life, Ireland soon discovered yummy baby food! She loves it! YAY!

Well...Ireland is well on her way to discovering every inch of this apartment. She is crawling, and loving it. 
She gets so excited when you go to get her off the floor that she throws her arms up in the air and tries to run from you. 


I am having so much fun watching this little girl grow up, but at the same time I'm very sad that she is growing up way too fast. 

I keep hearing people say "She should not be doing that already" and what do I know?? She's my first child, so to me she's just doing what she should be doing, right? 
Knowing she is doing it all too quickly makes me sad, that she could have been my "baby" a little bit longer. 

On that note....
(This is new today-see below)

Ireland is now standing up, with the assistance of the couch or coffee table and walking back and forth to get what she wants. 
Since Ireland was just a month old or so, she would always try to stand if you tried to pick her up from a lying down position, to a sitting position. 

Oh and have I mentioned she now has TWO teeth!!!?? 
Where did my itty bitty baby go??

Here's to the end of 2011 and the start of 2012



Dev & I have recently been hanging out with the Cannons, old friends of mine and new friends of Devan.

  I have known Stef since I was in first grade & she was in Kindergarten (my Mother-in-law being her teacher). We were really good friends from 2005-2009 and sadly, kind of drifted apart.


For New Years Eve, Stef & Chad invited us over for a full day/night of games, movies, & FOOD!
What better way to end a year and start a new one with people you love and food that loves you??

 
 
 
 
Don't worry, this was all spread out between 3pm to midnight.
Trust me when I say it was ALL delicious!

It was so nice to be able to stay inside and just relax ....and that's exactly what we did!
 
 


We still had a lot of fun playing with the kids and playing games with the big kids :)

 


 

Another exciting event that ended the new year.......


Yup...you guessed it!!

Ireland is eating cereal!!!!! & she LOVES it!



Thank you Cannon's for having us over in your home for several hours to end 2011....Dev & I love you and are grateful to have you in our lives!
