Documenting Declan (7 Months)

Weight: 18 pounds, 10 ounces
Length: 27 inches

Declan is a total darling. It's as simple as that. He makes everyone happier just by being there. He doesn't have any sign of stranger anxiety. He is curious and vocal. We love Declan baby.

He smiles in response to every smile.

Where is the other half?!

His brothers leave plenty of toys on the ground for him.

Squinty eyes.

He was quite perplexed by this.

Declan loves "dancing phalanges."

No toy is as cool as my phone. He wants to eat it.

I don't know how he gets into these situations.

Fat guy in little glasses.

So handsome.

Ever since there was an incident, Declan always gets to be the top piece of bread in the sandwich.

Or maybe I lied. Squuuuuish.

"I am judging you right now."

Just chillin' with some toys.

Nerd.

Bath time makes him sleepy.

Too many crazy kids were running around. He was worried.

Freedom! No swaddle!

He has discovered doorstops. So much joy!

The love handles. So much chunk.

A few more things Declan does for which I do not have a matching picture:

He...

...flips onto his stomach if he isn't swaddled in bed.

...has mastered going from sitting to his tummy without faceplanting.
...loves paper. If he gets his hands on it, I know it is a lost cause. He will not release his grip and I have to pry the crinkled paper away.

...is a ridiculously slow crawler. It doesn't even seem like he has a desire to move most of the time.

...is terribly ticklish on his back and feet.

...has cankles.
