Oh boy...where do I begin.
I love this girl more then I can explain.
Ireland is such a little pistol and very (VERY) strong willed.
She has grown so much in the last few months and I'm not sure I like it. There are times I think she is older then she is or actually understands. She definitely understands when she is testing us, which she does quite frequently. Dev and I try hard not to threaten punishment or scare her with punishment *we are far from perfect though*. We are currently (and I'm sure for many years) trying to get to the heart issue and teach biblical truth rather then she "just needs to obey".
She is starting to say so much that it seems like every day she learns a new word and what they mean. It's so neat to watch her grow and learn something new everyday. Now the whole "throwing a fit" thing, not really sure where she is learning that *wink Such a sinful heart at such a young age.
One of my favorite things is to watch her run and play with her cousins. She gets so excited watching them run & laugh and I love watching her light up and follow. We are currently working on the whole sharing thing and snatching things which both always result in screaming and complaining which is where "reaching the heart issue" comes in to play.
I am looking forward to another 18 months and where she'll be and how much more of her personality comes out.
