PHOTOS: Declan's First Week

Declan Dennis Laygan was born on November 26, 2010 at 11:22pm, after almost 20 hours of labor. He weighed 7 lbs and 3 oz and was 19.5 inches long. We're so happy to have a new addition to our family. After a day or two of mixed feelings, Hayley is thrilled to be a big sister! So far he's a very easy baby. We have to wake him up in the middle of the night to have his bottle!

A lot of people have told us they've never heard the name Declan, so here is some info:
Origin: Irish / Gaelic
Meaning: Full of goodness
Pronunciation: DECK lan

We had so much fun on our first family vacation, and we were glad to spend it with Susan, Vladi & Corey. We all had a lot of fun and Hayley is really missing Corey already! We all miss the beach and are still trying to remember why we have to come home...

It's been a while since I've added anything to Hayley's baby blog! More like toddler blog now :) Hayley is talking a lot these days, picking up new words every day. We still can't understand everything she tries to tell us, but she's got a lot she wants to say! She loves to sing and sometimes dance and even though she doesn't know all the words, she get's pretty close. She loves her family and likes to ask where everyone is about 20 times a day (Where Nanny? Where Chloe? etc) and lately she's included some of her friends from day care in that list which is really cute. She's really starting to love playing outside now that it's getting warmer and has started to say outside! outsiiiiide! She loves to say "thank you" (which sounds like dah-doo) and we're working on getting her to say please too. She also likes to count so she's working on that regularly (in English and Tagalog/Filipino!) She says "Cheeeeeeeese" when she sees a camera, but doesn't always agree to smile so the photos where she's looking at the camera and smiling are either pure luck or a result of tickling. Here's a couple of photo albums.

Two Ladybugs and a Bee...
Hayley had a cold on Halloween so she wasn't feeling great, but she had fun anyway, and didn't seem to mind her costume. Neither did Abby, but Chloe was pretty annoyed and tried to bite off both her costume and Abby's. (Bugs stick together)
