My little man is 3 months old. On one hand, he should be be older because I can't remember him not being here, but on the other, I can't believe he's already 3 months old. 

Someday I'll jump through puddles, Take a stroll or run a race.
Someday I'll walk across the street, Or maybe walk in space,
Someday I'll scale a mountain, Or I'll join a ballet corps.
Someday I'll walk a tightrope, Or explore the ocean floor.
Someday these feet will do some things, That only heaven knows,
But for today they're happy Just to wiggle all their toes. 


Stats: 16 lbs and I haven't measured his length yet. This is an unofficial weight from our bathroom scale. 


Some new things Declan did this month: Swimming! His first swimming was at Meghan's house, but we've also gone swimming at the YMCA. He loves the warm pool at the Y.  
Going in the jumperoo

 His little (or I should say HUGE) legs don't quite reach the floor yet unless it's one at a time and he's leaning.
Grabbing toys and bringing them to his mouth. 



Poor guy got his first cold on Friday. On Wednesday, he learned how to fake cough and Thursday, I thought he was being silly and fake coughing all day, but Thursday night he didn't fall asleep until 9:30 or 10:00 and usually he's out by 8:00 because he was coughing and then he woke up at 11:30 screaming. He was so congested and coughing. The poor guy seemed so miserable. That was his worst night of sleep since he was about 3 weeks old. All day Friday, I had the humidifier going and he slept in his swing. 
This was our Get Better Declan station. Fuzzy picture, yuck. 


Thankfully he's feeling a lot better. He's still congested, but he's much happier. He was so miserable on Friday. All he wanted to do was snuggle when he was awake, which is just what he got. :o) 

Here are some more pictures from the month: 

Nothing like a good conversation with a friend. 







And his growth progression pictures:
