Parenting is also really, really fun! These little girls are my pride and joy and I love them and their amazing daddy more than words can ever express. Kinsley 2 years old. I love the blog Faith and Composition. The author is so real and honest. She encourages me. I am so glad that I have found her blog! Today, I read her post about authenticity. Here is the first bit of that post:. And I don’t know about you, but I’m more interested in tearing down walls. Wow Did I need that today, or what? I am always ...

Lilly's one year photo shoot. The incredibly talented Seana Tate took these adorable pictures of Lilly at 12.5 months old. Seana and I met when we lived in Niceville and thanks to social media, we have kept in touch. I love that we have kept in touch and that we can get together when we go back "home" to Florida. Check out her website. Seana Tate Photography. Labels: Lilly 12 months. I cannot imagine my life without her in it. Smiles all of the time. Goes with the flow. Tried whole milk a few times at 11...

It's Lilly's birth month. and tonight at dinner Chris mentioned our "1 year old". Um, I am not ready for her to be one! However, like I said previously, she is my baby and I want her to stay that way! Lilly at 11 months old:. Waves hi and bye. Doesn't sign because I haven't taken the time to teach her how to do so. Cruises along all the furniture and will push her walker, chairs, or anything else that will move when pushed, but won't attempt to walk without support yet. Still loves bath time. Just A Hop,...

Lilly Ann Ireland was born on January 29th at 1:16pm. She weighed in at 8lbs 2oz (which is quite amazing considering the worry our doctors had about her weight gain throughout the last half of my pregnancy) and was 20.5 inches long. She is such a wonderful addition to our family and we couldn't be happier that our family has grown by another sweet little girl! Just like my FL doctor said it would be! He was guessing she would be a 7 pound baby- but probably no more than 7lb4oz! 12:05 pm: 9 cm. Tim and Me...

The Ireland's: Lilly is ONE!
http://chrisandabby.blogspot.com/2015/02/lilly-is-one_17.html
I cannot imagine my life without her in it. Smiles all of the time. Goes with the flow. LOVES her big sisters and is always giggling with them. Still doesn't sleep through the night consistently, and when she does sleep through the night she wakes up between 5:15 and 6:15am. I REALLY hope this changes soon. Mommy likes her sleep! Cruises on furniture and walks with her push toys, kitchen chairs or anything else that will move when she pushes it. Nurses 2 times a day (morning and night) as of two weeks ago.

Our sweet little Lilly turned 7 months old two weeks ago. For some reason, the 7 month mark really got to me. I literally cannot believe that it has been seven months. I'm having a hard time putting my feelings into words. Lilly brings us all so much joy. Her sisters love her and Chris and I can't get enough of her. Lilly at 7 months:. The week before she turned 7 months she finally began to sit on her own without support. She is eating baby foods and does not like peas or peaches. Takes two naps a day.

I have always thought that the 3 month mark is such a fun time. babies begin to interact with you and do more than just sleep. Lilly is definitely interacting with us all and the way her face lights up when she really sees you is the best feeling in the world. Lilly Ann at 3 months:. Sucks her thumb (I try to give her a paci, but when it falls out the thumb goes in! Smiles in response to us. Talks" all the time. Loves her play mat. Watches her big sisters all of the time. Celebrated her first Easter.

Averys 3rd birthday: THE INTERVIEW. I am starting a new tradition: when the girls turn three years old I will start interviewing them on each birthday. I will ask the same questions each year to see how their answers change as they grow up. This idea came from my friend, Sarah Akin. And I'm super excited about it! Here is Avery's interview from her 3rd birthday- 2.5 months ago! What is your name? How old are you? What did you most like about being (previous age). What do you think you can do at (new age).

The Ireland's: Parenting is hard
http://chrisandabby.blogspot.com/2015/04/parenting-is-hard.html
Let me be the first to tell you that I DO NOT have it all together. I spend many days in tears and lots more in absolute frustration over, what I feel to be constant, disobedience and whininess (is that a word? From my children. Yes, we have some really great days where we all get along great, but there are more days where we seem to battle each other all day long. I question where I went wrong. How do I change it? Probably. I mean, they are only 1, 2 and 4, after all. Hang in there, mom. It's a diff...
