haha! The luck of the Irish ;) It is possible that one of you has some Irish roots you know :) This is a super fun image and she has great catchlights!
First off, I LOVE to make fun of Chuck Norris, so thank you for not one, but two cracks at him.
Your daughter is super cute, and in the first image, she looks a bit mischevious. In the second, I think her expression is just so funny. She looks like a lot of fun with a great sense of humor.
When my son was born, he had a headful of reddish colored hair. Because I was able to produce a picture of me at a week or so old, also with red hair, we didn't get "too" many questions about it.
She is a lovely girl who looks like she would be great fun to be around. I think if she stepped a foot or so away from the background, then you used a shallower dof to make the bg more obscure, the flowers would be competing quite so much for the viewer's eye.
