So after a very busy Friday at Bruce and Tash's wedding we decided that we would get Declan dedicated on the Sunday and have an early Birthday party for Declan with our family and a couple of our closest friends. Declan was definitely the star of the day. During the dedication he decided to play with Daryl's (the pastor) microphone and when that got boring he tried taking the dedication booklet out of Daryl's hand. Declan had us all in hysterics, and by 'us all' I mean the entire congregation.
Erin and Ross are Declan's God Parents and we feel blessed to have such good friends praying and looking out for Declan when they can. Erin prayed such a lovely prayer for Declan and we are very thankful to have Erin and Ross as such good friends in our life. Also, Declan's best little friend Caleb who is 5 days younger than Declan happens to be Erin and Ross' son.
After the church service we headed home for some lunch with the family and a bit of a celebration for Declan's birthday.
My sister Lisa made the cake and with the help of my other sister Becca they decorated it and did such a fantastic job! Thank you so much.

Happy Birthday Declan
Yay!
Then on Declan's real birthday we just had a quiet day at home. He hasn't been very well over the 7 weeks (ish) with several ear infections. As of today he is on his 3rd lot of antibiotics for an ear infection that just won't go away! Our poor little guy.
We actually can't believe it that we have made it to a year, we must say that Declan has had a hard year but we made it! His vibrant Red hair is going curly, he is just about walking, he has a few words, eats pretty much anything, loves cuddles with his Mummy and Daddy, and adores his sister. He is the sweetest, cheekiest, funniest and most wonderful little boy in our lives. We Love you Little Red, Happy Birthday!
