Irelyn or "Iley" to her mommy and daddy is now 11 1/2 months old. I am still in shock that she is almost 1. Not only that she has grown so much and so fast, but also that Joe and I have been parents for a whole year! It is true that time goes faster when you have children!
I truly believe there is a level of love that you will not truly know until you have a child. Probably the only person you love 100% more than yourself. The person you would without a doubt die for. I am so incredibly blessed to have been given this amazing gift. I try to remind myself even when she is crabby or I am crabby and sleep deprived that I can never take a single moment for granted because I wouldn't trade it for anything!
So, as our first baby continues to get older, people start to ask when we will have another. We haven't decided/agreed :), but if/when God does bless us with another child we will let you all know!
