5 years ago today...

Zach surprised me with this

I am so glad I said yes!

Declan meets Aunts Hilary and Hailey!

Zach's twin sisters, Hilary and Hailey were able to come to Memphis for a few days in October.  We had a lot of fun while they were here.  Declan loves having other people around to give him attention!  We tried going to the Gibson Guitar Factory but they didn't have anyone there to give tours, so we walked around downtown for a little bit and then ate and Kooky Canucks. 

Hailey eating a fried pickle. YUM!

We decided to share the 4 lb hamburger for dinner...we ate half of it between the 4 of us!

On Friday Zach was at school all day but we had fun hanging out at home. Hilary and Hailey bought Declan the cutest Halloween outfit. The shirt says, "Daddy's Little Monster."

On Saturday Zach, Declan, and the twins were able to participate in a Vision Walk while I was at work. It was really cold that day...

Hailey and Declan...don't you love his outfit? :)

Hilary making Declan laugh...I promise he does wear pants sometimes.

2 months!

Declan has discovered his hands...

He grabs at his toys now...

 

  He had a fun time with his Aunts Hilary and Hailey when they came to visit...(more pics to come from their visit.)

 

Older girls are holding his hands...ha ha :)

His first trip to the Zoo and he slept most of the time...

After the Zoo I babysat my friend's baby, Joel, who is a few weeks older than Declan.  They had fun playing.

Declan's favorite time is story time right before bed! (I changed the picture to be turned the right way, not sure why it keeps flipping back.)

 We just had his 2 month check up today and he did really well with his shots.  He cried for a few minutes and then just fell asleep. 
2 month stats:
weight: 13 lbs 15 oz (75th percentile)
length: 25.25 inches (90th percentile)
head circumference: 40.5 cm (50th percentile)

growing up so fast!

We've been busy the past few weeks (although, I don't seem to accomplish much during the day...) Declan has started to smile a little bit.

Emery (Marissa's little girl) and Declan. She is 2 weeks old here and he is 6 weeks.

A lady in our ward had a mother's of new babies party on Friday. Here are 4 of the moms and new babies that have been born this summer.

All the babies in their car seats getting ready to go!

Declan's favorite thing to do...besides eating of course! He slept 6 1/2 hours straight the other night. I hope this starts to be a common occurrence!
