Taking care of brother

Z holding Declan.

Two Month visit

Everything at the doctors went well. She said Declan is looking wonderful. He is also HUGE! He is in the 100th percentile for height at 24.75 inches and weighs 12lbs. 11 ounces. He is doing fine after his vaccine.

Two Months

I wasn't going to do this today b/c I wanted to edit some of the pics I took, but I can't let the day slip by without making his two month update.  I will add more pics in the days to come.  Two months...I would like to say the days flew by like they did with Z, but having two isn't quite as blissful as just one!  Life is definitely getting easier as each day goes by though as we are starting to understand his cues.  Declan has spread out his feedings which also makes things much easier.  Even though he is feeding less often, he is still gaining ounces steadily.  His two month check-up is tomorrow so I will update soon on his height and weight.  He is starting to develop a personality which has lead to Zade and I calling him Mr. Smiles.  As long as he is rested, he is a happy boy!  He treats both of us to many smiles throughout the day and also loves to watch his big brother.  We are still working on the sleep department.  I am not sure if things would be easier without big brothers constant interruptions, but naps are a struggle with the exception of Ergo naps.  Declan loves to sleep when he is strapped to Mommy.  I have adjusted and usually plan outings just so I can wear Declan and make sure he gets a decent nap after two hours of awake time.  Night times are all over the place.  One night I think we are settling into sleep better and the next he is up feeding every hour! 

Snuggle time

Big Brother

Z just relaxing with Nui while he eats his watermelon.

Nui love

It is time to get Declan used to the best pillow/seat in the house.

Brotherly Love

I was busy loading the car for play group and Declan started crying. When I came back in this is how I found the boys. Declan had stopped crying.

Another pic of us hanging out together. Z is way more willing to touch and hang with mommy and brother.

Woohoo!

All hanging out together. :)

Birthday party

We had cousin Nalu's third birthday on Sunday. Z knows about helmets and skateboards from Hayden. He is always eager to wear a helmet and try out a board.
