Part 2: Cormac
What need is there for words when pictures are available? Cormac O'Mahony was but a few months old when these photographs were taken but he was already smiling and interacting with his uncle and cousins (and, of course, his parents, to whom he owes his good looks and sensible personality).
Cormac is quite a long baby and so seems destined to be tall like his father. He has his father's red hair too. Opinion is mixed as to whether he looks more like his mother or father.
It is important to note that the name Cormac is not pronounced kohr-MACK, but rather KOHR-muhk. (See this Irish Pronounciation Guide for more such useful information.)
Abigail's Observations
It was only about four days after I met Cormac and it felt like I had known him for at least a year. Yes, we got on quite well together. The last day we were in Dublin we went to say good-bye to my cousin. Before we left Daddy asked to hold Cormac. I think that was the happiest I had ever seen him. Unfortunately, we failed to get any pictures. I was so excited when I heard I was to have a cousin, but to meet him was a dream come true.
