1Year- Full of Goodness

One year and our baby is officially a toddler.  Declan means "full of goodness" and Declan has lived up to this and we are even more stoked we chose it.  He is now moving and grooving with the big kids.  There is no slowing Declan down and don't even think about giving Z something without also sharing with Declan.  He idolizes Z and wants to do whatever he is doing.  As soon as Z does something, Declan is right behind mimicking him.  Bedtimes are becoming a battle because Declan knows Daddy and Z are still awake and he wants to continue playing.  He is incredibly willful, but at the same time has the sweetest spirit.  Our friend that was visiting said, "Declan makes you feel so good about yourself, he always gives you the biggest smiles." It is true, he is genuinely happy 99% of the time.

Birthday Fun

We had a pretty mellow birthday with Declan.  He is getting new teeth and poor guy was pretty crabby.  We went out to the County Club for a family dinner and then had cupcakes with cousins.  Z took over the present opening, but Declan enjoyed watching him.

One Year Comparison

I did a super fast little photo shoot with Declan today.  I wasn't so stressed about one year shots since we had an actual photographer last week.  I am hoping she got some good ones.  However, I do like to have similar shots of each kiddo for memory sake.  Here are just two for a sneak peek.  I have to say, I thought they looked more alike then they do in these pictures...

Doughnuts

We had a nice family trip to Komodas on Hayden's last morning here. 

More Beach Days

I was teasing Zadoc today that he is living his dream. That is a little dramatic, but he is a happy guy watching the kiddos at the beach. Hayden is doing great surfing. Z is loving tandem surfing and was getting worked in te shore break today, with a huge smile on his face. Little Declan is happy as can be, eating sand and cruising in the water. 

Poppa's Party

I haven't even looked through these yet.  Just posting the family pics...

All the Zadocs together!

Our best attempt at a family shot.

Beach Family

It is safe to say we will be spending most of our free time at the beach.  Every kiddo is full of smiles when we are there.  Hayden is really improving her surfing and making her Dad jealous with all the waves she is catching.  Z will not let his Dad go out to surf without him.  His favorite thing to yell when they catch a wave is, "yeah baby!"  Declan continues to be a turtle crawling towards the water whenever you put him down.

Morning Park picnic

We got food and headed to the park this morning.
