September 15, 2008 Declan is 7 weeks old!

Darling Declan smiled at me today in response to my smile! He can also hold weight on his legs like he is standing which is amazing. He has been lifting his head practically since birth, so I know I have an extraordinary child on my hands!
I have not started this blog until now because he is now sleeping through the night and I am not deliriously sleep deprived anymore. So much to catch up on! On September 5 he smiled at me for the first time early in the morning while he was on my chest.. He just looked up and gave me the most heart melting smile! Patrick's Mother was in town and we scheduled Declan's Christening so she would be able to attend it while she was in town. The ceremony was this past Saturday September 13. It was so beautiful, and his Godparents Janel Wagner and Dave Burkhardt and their families were there too. The day was a bit overcast, but perfect. Declan remained asleep during the whole ceremony, and only awakened when the monk finished speaking. He was quiet and calm all day, and the monk said he must still be in the astral world! I am so glad I established a bond between he and Yogananda! He has made such a difference in my life, and I know I have gotten Declan off to a great start!
