Like Mother, Like Daughter

Mairead may look more like her dad, but she is already showing some signs that she will be a lot like her mom. She already likes baseball, for one thing. That sweatshirt is from St. Michael's College, and was mine when I was little. My dad graduated from St. Mike's just after I was born.


Then, her Grampy made pancakes in the shape of her initials. He used to do this for Maghan and all of the Monaghan kids when we were little.


Mairead loved the pancakes, and especially loved eating them all by herself.






Now that she has mastered the skill of crawling, she is ready to move on to bigger and better things, like climbing up steps.



And she loves to feed herself those little cereal puffs.

She is definitely going to be an independent person, which is both good and bad. We want her to be a strong and independent person, but we can already tell that the word 'no' is not going to be one of her favorites! Hmmm.... maybe she is actually more like her aunt... She is definitely fascinated by Jen, and she seems to have inherited her mischievous expressions. We could be in for a lot of trouble!
