Sixteen Months Old!

Well our little Irelyn is sixteen months old today!  I can not believe how fast time has gone!  Everyone warned me but o my goodness I am not ready for my baby to grow up.  These past sixteen months have been the most amazing months of our lives. Irelyn brings us more joy than we could ever have imagined.

Every day just gets better and better as she learns how to say more words and develops a stronger personality.  She has such a sweet gentle spirit mixed with a little bit fire once in a while.  We thank God for entrusting her to us for her life here on earth and we pray that she comes to know Him at a young age.  We are really enjoying training her up in the ways of the Lord.

Irelyn is now almost running all over the place.  She is FULL of energy and only takes one very short nap a day!  She says a handful of words and recently learned how to say please.  Her favorite word to say in thank you...she is very polite.  She loves her baby doll and throwing balls.  She is very sweet with her baby and already rocks, pats, and feeds her.

I spend an awful lot of time talking about our kids in Ethiopia on this blog, which makes sense since this blog was made for them.  Today I have a special prayer request.  Please pray with us for our daughters salvation.  Pray that God gives us wisdom to raise her to love Him.  She is so very special to us and today we are going to spend some time praying over her.

Here is some cuteness for today!

She really loves playing with daddies phone!


watering our first real tree.

Irelyn did not like it when it was snowing.
