Party of Five

Declan is one month!  It has flown by, but I already cannot imagine our family without him.  He fits in perfectly and plays a big part in our family as such a small guy (despite his sisters' huge personalities).  Each morning, without fail, Claire asks to see her Baby Declan before she is even out of her crib and both girls insist of kissing him good night before bed.  Declan has also been introduced to many of our little family's rituals.  He has been a part of bedtime story time on mom and dad's bed and now sits with us each night at the dinner table in his bouncy chair.  We are so blessed to have sweet Baby Declan in our family.

Claire, Declan's Bodyguard

Since Declan has arrived home, Claire has been watching over him.  Her stool has been parked next to the bassinet since last Monday and she is making sure he is okay.  As she watches over him, she announces: "Baby Declan cryin', why baby cryin?" or "Baby happy, baby happy!"  Claire is a fantastic big sister.
