We had a lot of fun with my parents when they came out to "meet" Declan again.  They were here for over a week before he was born but since he was a week late they only got to spend a few hours with him before they had to fly back to Idaho. It was so great to have them here! Declan loves having people around to give him attention 24/7.

Zach blessed Declan at church on October 25th. Doesn't he look cute in his little white tux? My mom found it in Idaho and it fit him perfectly! By the way Declan's name is pronounced Deck-lan not DE-Klan. :)

All of us in front of the Memphis Temple

Declan decided to start sitting up with help while they were here.

We went to the Memphis Botanical Gardens while they were here.  It was the first time I had ever been and they are amazing!  They have a really cool area for kids to play.  I'm kind of sad that we're going to move before Declan is able to enjoy it.

Declan was a monkey for Halloween!

We were able to go to the Zoo and watch the cool sea lion show.

On their last day here Declan decided he wanted to start standing with some help of course! It's his new favorite position now.

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.
