So, if I even try to put these pictures in any chronological order, this will take me two weeks. Let's just say- here are a lot of pictures of Irelyn!! She is growing so fast and I have been wanting to write about her for so long! She is such a squooshy baby, who has the biggest, fattest, most pattable bottom ever!! She is very smiley and likes to kiss/ bite your face. She just started eating rice cereals and likes it very much, although I wonder how much actually makes it down her throat.
She gets carried around a lot while we are doing things, like talking on the phone or reading or cooking.....
The kids loove her and want to help with her too much! Emme bring swipes when I change her diapers so that she can wipe Irelyan's bottom. But then she tries to use it on her face, too. Yikes!
She finally rolled over the day before she was 6 months old! That's our latest by far! But, she did have that roundy bottom to get over! And, she almost never got put on the ground, because it seemed like a dangerous place to be in this house. Emme has tried to ride you like a horsie a few times.
She's fun to dress up and smiles at everyone at church and laughs at the kids.
Doesn't she look a lot like Alex did at this age??
I wish I could capture her long, long fluttery eyelashes! They are into her eyebrows and are soooo cute!!
This was the first and only bottle she has ever taken. She doesn't get it. She just chews on it and smiles at you, while it drips all over her.
These were taken most recently.
She's such a fun, cuddly baby. I think I have wanted to just hold her and sleep with her more than I can ever remember. Maybe because she is so squishy, or maybe because I know she could be my last. But when she is curled up next to me and I can feel her little chest rising and falling, I think I am in Heaven.
I will never regret one moment spent holding, rocking, feeding, laughing, talking or smiling at you.
I can't think of a sweeter way to spend my life.
Haha! We got on YouTube for fun and found a video someone took of the parade this year. Here is a still from it. If you want to see us in it, here is the link below.
