Time flies

Time has gone so fast since our little Declan was born. I can't believe that my maternity leave is almost over. Dave and I are adjusting to sleep deprivation. It is quite an adjustment since our other baby is now 5 years old and has been sleeping through the night since he was 3 months old. I'm starting to think we won't be so fortunate with Declan, but he's been worth a little lack of sleep. Declan is a sweet little baby. AJ has loved being a big brother and has been so helpful. He loves being able to make Declan smile, and he is so proud this week to have been the first one to make Declan laugh out loud. Declan has been pretty good at adjusting to the moving around from place to place that he has had to endure the past three weeks. After having been used to our home, we took a trip to Arkansas when some serious repair work was being done to our house. We spent a week there, then flew from there to Kansas for another week. We spent half our time with Grandma Kay and the other half the time with Grandma and Papa. Then when we thought we could come home, we found out that our house wasn't finished yet so we spent the past week in a hotel. Through it all, Declan has been such a trooper. He was a great traveler on our trip too except a ten minute interval (which felt like one hour) on our last plane.
