My lil' Rockstar!

Well, this week sure was special, not just for me, but for Ireland too! (aside from saying a couple of new words, like Grandma, Papa, Memah, oh and oven!) So we were doing what we always do during the week (that is.. going to Target!) and well on our way we saw a very special guy, my FAVORITE singer ever! Mr. Julian Casablancas. Now, I do realize that some or most of you may not know who this is, but, he is like my Elvis! (yes, he is that special!) He was doing a photoshoot right there on the street, and we were lucky enough to get this picture with him. She didn't seem to be bothered by him while we were talking to him, but then I saw the picture, and boy does she look scared! Anyway, very special for me to have my daughter meet my idol!!

Monkeys and Milestones

November is here, and Miss Ireland is now a year and a half. Geez, it really is unbelievable how fast she is growing up. My adorable little newborn has turned into a beautiful little girl!! We are now officially done breastfeeding...it was a good long run, longer than I thought, but we finished when we were both good and ready. She now soothes herself to sleep, (with a little help from her thumb and her DVD player) and even sleeps through the night!





  

So, Halloween came and went! We all had so much fun at the pumpkin patch, while she ran around and chased all the little kids like she always does! Our lil' monkey was as cute as can be! There were lots of cute costumes, but hers by far was the CUTEST! We took her down to The Grove to do some trick or treating, and she did pretty good for her very first time.

Here is one happy monkey with all her treats!!
