1st Birthday Party

I can't believe I am writing this post. Not only does it seem like last week you were born but it seems like last month I met your daddy!

I started planning your party in June.... The theme was easy at first but then I found so many other adorable themes that J had to step in and pick it and then make me keep it! So, we had the theme, now we just needed food, a place, date, time, etc.... In September I just got in the planning mood and bought everything and planned everything in a week!! We had food figured out, place, date, time, invites bought and stuffed, envelopes addressed, you birthday shirts ordered, and decorations all bought!!

Now we just had to wait.

Wait for November 14th to get here........

After running around town to get last minute things and getting balloons blown up.....The party was a success! Everyone seemed to love the theme, food and cake!

We love you more than you will ever know.

I'll love you forever

I'll like you for always,

As long as I'm living

My baby you'll be.

Declan at 12 Months

Declan: TWELVE Months!!

You weight 18 pounds
You wear size 3 diapers and 6-9 month paints and 9-12 month shirts
You sleep from 6:30/7pm to 6:30/7am. So from whenever we put you down you still sleep about 12 hours.
You have another tooth coming in on your top right so you've needed some extra love on some nights.
You have to have food that you can pick up. So we keep shredded chicken here at the house and if we go out to eat then we keep puffs with us.
You still love your bottle. You freak out and start kicking when you see it.
You love people. You stare at people you don't know and will stare at them until they talk to you.
You love bath time! You still stay in there and play with your bath toys forever.
You can stand by yourself for a few seconds then you realize you're not holding on to anything and then fall down.
You can say "mama" "dada" "uh oh" "wooooooo" "Dec"
You love sleep and you love naps! Most days at the nanny's house you take 2-3 hour naps!
When I tell you no you have started getting really upset and put out your bottom lip and then a few tears come out. It's so sad that I just want to pick you up and hold you.
You went to your first basketball game, red and white game, on November 1st! You hardly took your eyes off the players!!
You had your last first holiday, Halloween. You were a NBA basketball player with tattoos. We even dressed up as refs! Everyone thought you were adorable with your tats and basketball!
First Arkansas Razorback Basketball game, November 1.
We just found our you cousin J was born a few hours ago!!

Wow. I can't believe it. You're ONE! I still can't remember what we did before you (besides sleeping a lot more). You are so lovable and love everyone and anyone that will give you attention! You are so ticklish and have the best laugh when you get tickled. You still love your toys and take them all over the house. You still love food and pretty much eat everything in sight. You've started saying 'YUMMMM' after eating stuff you really like. It's adorable.

Declan you are the light of our lives and so I am so glad that you came in our lives one year ago today.
