Christmas Part 1 and 2

Our Christmas began with the Shockey family getting together. Uncle Jonathan, Aunt Jasonea, Sheridan, Waylon and Grandma Shockey came over for dinner and Christmas fun. Greg made a nice dinner of ham, broccoli, fruit salad, rolls and Uncle Jonathan brought Heather safe potatoes that were very good and dessert. He even found an ice cream that was Heather safe. Enjoy a few pictures from this day.




Christmas Part 2
Our next Christmas was just us exchanging gifts before our trip. Mommy and Daddy had things that were way too big to take on a plane so we decided to do an exchange the day before we left. The boys were able to give their presents to each other too.



We were in Washington for Christmas with Krista and her family. More on this fun trip soon.

I'm NOT Tired

says the little boy....

just five minutes later asleep snoring at the bottom of the steps.

Better late than never

Declan had his two month check up on November 11 and is growing like a champ. He is 10 pounds 5 ounces, (32nd percentile) 24 1/4 inches (90th percentile) and his head is 37 cm. (7th percentile;) . We are doing well on the MSPI diet even though he tested low at his appointment. That week I gave into temptation and had one of the big boy's chocolate from Halloween but now I have been following the diet and not cheating at all so his little tummy stays healthy.
We also had Declan baptised earlier this month. Pastor Steve Plank has baptized all four boys at the church where I grew up attending. After the service we had family over to the house. Declan and his cousin Waylon hung out together.

First Trip

Declan took his first plane ride last week. (october 21st). He and I went to meet Aunt Krista and her family in Washington state. We landed in Seattle where Krista and Gracie met us at the airport. It was wonderful for Aunt Krista to meet Declan when he is still so little. She has seen all four of my boys now before they were two months old. Just a little fun thing for me. Anyway we had a great visit hanging out with Krista, Ellen, Martin and Grace. They all loved the little man and he loved them. Grace and Declan meshed very well together she got used to him crying and didn't seemed too bothered by it at the end of the trip. We look forward to Christmas at their house in just a few short months. Here are some pictures from our trip.

Two Weeks Old!!!

Declan is two weeks old. Boy does time fly. He is eating and growing like a champ. He is now 7 pounds 10 ounces and 21.5 inches long. We are having such a great time getting to know this little guy. Tristan, Colin and Liam are crazy about him always wanting to help and hold him. Liam tells us all the time that he loves Declan and is happy his baby is here now. I think what he really likes is that he is a big brother.

The Waiting is Over!!

Declan Rocho Shockey was born Friday September 10, 2010 at 10:31 a.m. weighing 7 pounds and 1 ounce and 20 1/2 inches. He's a great easy going little man so far. Tristan, Colin and Liam are totally in love with him too. He's the first thing they look for when they wake up and can't wait to hold him when they get home from school. It's amazing how little he is and how much joy and happiness he brings to our family.
