The Nap

Rory was bouncing like a mad man for 30 minutes and I actually almost took out my video camera. Then a few minutes later this happened....

He napped for about 20 minutes

Happy Half Year Birthday!! We go for Rory's well visit on Wednesday so I'll have some more stats. But last week I took him into see the doctor for a cough, he is finally getting better but it has lingered for a while. He weighed 18.5 pounds which is the 75th percentile. He is starting to sit up on his own and will for 5 or 10 seconds so I think by the end of the week he will have it mastered. He is still super chill and so sweet. Declan is in love and gives him lots of squeezes and kisses, it should get interesting when Rory starts taking and playing with his toys.

Wednesday Update:  Rory weighes 19 pounds (75th percentile) and is 28 inches long (93 percentile). His well visit doctor appointment went great, he's thriving well and no more cough- yay!

5 months already!

Rory was 5 months old last week. The time is flying. He's been rolling around for a few weeks now and is starting to sit up tripod style just today. He is all smiles for his big brother Declan!

Declan is doing great. He is singing the alphabet all the time and has been for some time but recently is recognizing the letters and sounds. His grammy bought him a big alphabet floor puzzle that he loves and matches his leapfrog alphabet flash cards to it. He loves jumping and dancing for Rory.

4 Month Birthday Boy!

Rory was 4 months on Saturday and is getting so big but still so little. He weighs 16 lbs and 16 oz  and is 26 3/4 long. He is 77th percentile for weight and 97th percentile for height, looks like he's giving Declan a run for the money! He is so sweet and very chill. He continues to be a great sleeper- thankfully! Grammy is still with us a lot to help care for and give him lots of attention while Declan and I do lots of play dates. Rory gets out a little here and there though and enjoys going in the pool. Rory is grabbing for toys, putting things in his mouth, blowing lots of raspberries and just found his feet on Sunday!

 

Happy 4 months Rory!

Declan and mommy day

Declan and mommy had a fun-filled day! It started out with a trip to the movies. This being Declan's second time to the movie theater. About a month ago Donal and I took him to see Monsters University. This time we saw Clifford the Big Red Dog. During the summer at the theater they play oldie but goodie toddler and kid movies, so the theater was filled with little ones. He enjoyed his popcorn and a lollipop! After we took a drive to get his first ice cream cone down by the pier. He loved every minute of it while it melted all over in the heat of the day. We then kicked off our shoes and played in the sand under the pier since we didn't come prepared. It was one of those perfect days and ended with a 3 hour nap- WOW!

Yummy!

Rory Giggles!

Declan gave Donal his first laughs over two years ago, and now Rory giggles for the first time at daddy.....
