Sibling Love

I have more of these to share but not enough time in the day to post.  Here is a sneak peak of some pictures I took of Teagan and Declan on Sunday.  More to come soon!

Declan had his 2 week checkup today.  He has now surpassed his birth weight and weighs in at 8lb11oz!!  He slept through the entire exam, but all is healthy and well.

Declan - Newborn Photos

I took these formal newborn photos yesterday - Declan was 8 days old!

He was fairly cooperative and sleepy for me, and we even got some awake shots at the end.  I am not sure if Teagan warned him that this is the first of many many many photo shoots to come!  On the flip side, Teagan has actually been ASKING me to take her picture recently, rather than running from the camera!

Day 5

Declan had another weight check visit at the pediatrician this morning.  As of his pediatrician visit Wednesday (48 hrs old) he was still down in weight.

Birth - 8lb1oz
Day 2 - 7lb13oz
Day 3 - 7lb11oz
Day 5 - 7lb12oz

As of today little man is headed back up in weight so that makes Mommy happy!  Everything else checked out well at the visit so we will go back again when he is two weeks old.  Teagan enjoyed helping take Declan to his appointment, she has an obsessive interest in doctors recently.

He has been sleeping and eating well and is a very sweet baby.

Melissa and Josh visited today and enjoyed their time holding Declan and playing with Teagan.  Declan was very sleepy and snuggly today!  Teagan was wild and crazy and liked the extra attention!

We also gave D his first bath at home - just to wash his hair and body a little where needed.  Teagan was a helpful big sister and watched as he had his hair washed and even helped comb it.

Declan Stone George

On Monday we welcomed our little boy, Declan, into our family!  Teagan is SO excited and in love, as are Matt and I.  Teagan is a great big sister so far and loves to give kisses and "gentle hugs" as she calls them.

Here are the official stats:
Declan Stone George
Monday, 4/11/11 7:42am
8lb 1oz, 20.5"

Due to a fast labor and great timing, Teagan got to come meet Declan and spend some time admiring him in the hospital when he was only just over an hour old!

We came home from the hospital on Tuesday and have been trying to adjust to life as a family of four ever since.  Here are some pictures of our little guy and our awesome big girl!

Some additional pictures from Grammy Sue's camera:

Silly Lilly

Teagan had a visit from Lilly and Brad and Kristen today.  She had so much fun playing with Lilly!

Birthday Party

Teagan helped her friend Amelia celebrate her 2nd birthday today.  There were lots of 2 year old girls running around to play with, and Amelia got a slide that was a big hit with Birthday girls and non-Birthday girls alike.  Teagan even got a nice shiner from doing her own post-slide flip.  There was yummy food and CAKE!  Happy 2nd Birthday Amelia!!!

Fun spring party outfit complete with pigtails and bows (borrowed from her build-a-bear!)

Quick picture break while waiting for the slide

Cuteness with her party hat!

Nice scratch and bruise (looks worse than it was - she didn't even cry she 

just jumped back in line for the slide so she didn't lose her turn!!!)

Nope, there was no "hands free cupcake eating contest" - Teagan just wanted to eat hers that way!

This picture is too funny not to post - funny expression as she took a big swipe of frosting on her finger
