One Month Old

It's hard to believe that our little one has already reached the one month mark! Declan has grown quite a bit since coming home from the hospital and now weighs 9 pounds 6 ounces. He has been on a few very short trips to Babies R Us and the grocery store. He loves going for walks around the neighborhood and usually starts closing his eyes before we even make it out of the house. We're staying on our "Baby Wise" schedule and Declan has even started sleeping for a five hour stretch at night. His daily meltdown seems to always happen while we're eating dinner but other than that he is a very happy baby. Here are a few new pictures....

First Photo Session with Christa Mitchell

Declan had his first photo session with Christa when he was six days old! He slept through the entire session. All of the pictures are wonderful but here are a few of our favorites.

Two Week Update

Declan had his two week check-up this past Wednesday. He weighed 8 lbs 7 oz and is 20 inches long. He only has 3 more ounces to go to be back at his birth weight...close enough that we were able to drop one of his nighttime feedings!! We are all enjoying the extra sleep! A couple of pictures from the last week are posted below.

Update

Declan had his first Doctor's visit on Monday. He had lost down to 7 lbs 9 oz while in the hospital but as of Monday had gained back 3 oz!! We're hoping he'll be back to his birth weight by his 2 week appointment. The first few days home have been great and he has been such a good baby! We're keeping our fingers crossed that it continues.
