Ah stop.

There’s nothing quite as cute as babies dressed up in seasonal outfits so we very much appreciate the latest photo Simon Harris has shared of his daughter Saoirse.

The minister posted a photo of the tot in an adorable St Patrick’s Day-themed get-up to Instagram.

Marking a milestone for the little one, Harris wrote; “Happy #stpatricksday to you and yours! Saoirse is celebrating it in style – 2 months old today!”.

At just two months old little Saoirse is really beginning to look like her old man.

She’s the Minster for Health’s first child.

He and his wife Caoimhe announced her arrival back in January, with Harris saying he was “bowled over” at becoming a dad.

“Today I take on my most important job – Dad!,” he shared at the time.

“Caoimhe and I are delighted to welcome our beautiful little daughter into the world.”

Harris shared the news last summer that Caoimhe, a cardiac nurse at Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital in Crumlin, was expecting a baby.

The couple married in July of 2017 in a ceremony in Kilquade, Wicklow surrounded by just 150 of their closest family and friends.
