3 months and some change

As if you don't see enough pictures of Deklan- here are some more.  I seriously can't believe he is THREE months old! Time is moving way to quickly for me- I still just LOVE to snuggle this little man! I took these about a week late- but better a little late than never right?! Going out of town messed things up a bit- but he is honestly growing SO much!!
He smiles ALL. DAY. LONG. And I love it. 

 He coos, talks, standing with our help, and WAS sleeping through the nigh 7-8 hours
He had his first chiropractic adjustment (thank you Dr. Nettles) which helped A LOT with sleep!  Now that he is home in his crib he is back to getting up every three hours- WHAT??? UGH! I have gotten NO SLEEP the past few days dang it! Last night we put him in our room in his little sleeper and he again slept a good seven hours- I didn't unfortunately. Couldn't sleep for some reason :( I hate to take him BACK into our room- but I truly enjoy the long sleep segments and have NO idea why he wakes up in the crib!
 This little boy melts my heart SO much! I fall in love more and more every single day as I get to know his cute personality. He is so sweet!

His hair is definitely starting to turn red! And he has some baldness going on!
STOP GROWING little Deklan!!!!

Harry Potter Land- the most magical place in the world


I waited so so long for this trip!! To be honest I didn't think we would end up doing an amusement park at all since it was so bloody hot and humid in Florida but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be since the parks had lots of areas to cool off and we never had to wait in line. It was PACKED- but we got sent straight to the front of the line with Deklan- whew! :) He loved it too! He was smiling at everything - either that or napping :)



You can see in this picture I was literally DYING to get inside Harry Potter Land- but it was seriously ALL THREE days this packed! The whole park wasn't this bad- but holy cow everyone wanted to spend all there time here...it was understandable since it was UNBELIEVABLE! It of course had the amazing Harry Potter music playing, delicious butter beer- HOLY MOLY that stuff is good! Tastes like a werthers candy mixed with root beer- so delish! Olivanders was awesome- they had a show for the wands- than we bought some...I am not quit sure what we will use them for, but maybe we will just need to dress up as a family for Halloween in Harry Potter gear :) 






 The Castle was hands down the best part! They had an amazing ride and inside the castle were lots of details from the movie :)

 They of course had the floating candles and it looked like it was snowing!









 The best water ride I have ever been on! It literally is a mix between a rollar coaster and a water ride- Jonny was soaked head to toe! Which was okay since it was so super hot that we had to stop and cool down a few times :)


Deklan in his Cat in the Hat outfit we bought him and his first Dr. Suess book to start a collection- I am thinking a Dr Suess room when he is a toddler might be fun.
It was a fun trip but I am happy to be home! My sister is getting married in four days! After that hopefully things will slow down for a bit :)

Florida 2012

 I must say- Deklan was AMAZING on this trip! Every part of this trip turned out wonderful (minus maybe the beach day) Everyone says how hard it is to travel with a baby- maybe this is later on but seriously it was easy! It took a little longer to get places- but minus that he just made everything more fun! He slept LONGER than normal hours at night-and never fussed! It could have been from getting his first chiropractic adjustment but holy cow- he slept 7-8 hours EVERY NIGHT! That has literally never happened! I unfortunately got sick the first few days of the trip. I think Jonny liked having the baby to himself the second day at Elite Academy though. Deklan just started mimicking our faces we make- making him SO much fun to hold! This is pretty much the only picture we took which was at the Elite Dinner we went to the first night.

And then there was the beach...
 Sunday we went to Cocoa Beach. I learned a lot of things that day. Babies look real cute on the beach- but they make it a little tough. I won't be doing any beach trips soon unless our resort is ON the beach. Our resort was where all the theme parks were so an hour away from the beach. Cocoa beach wasn't NEARLY as pretty as the pictures- and was full of LOTS of nasty people. Not meaning to be judgmental- but lots of smoking weed- and definitely not a good spot for a baby. Needless to say after an hour drive, and some frustration, we left after like a half hour. BUT he still got to put his feet in the sand- and he loved it :) I can't help but smile seeing this little boy do all his firsts in life.
If you can see in the background- Deklan was checking out a lady in a thong- WAY too young and already staring- haha!
 My bald little chunky monkey!

And two of our friends we met up with :) Kara and Sarah

The resort pool- it was WAY WAY easier to be at the pool than the beach- a lot less messy :)
Always sleeping with his arms up- crazy boy!
Learning to Drive with Daddy
We got locked out of our room and while Jonny was getting our key- this boy was being seriously cute! Couldn't help but take a few pictures :)

We had an awesome resort we stayed at with a full kitchen and nice Jacuzzi tub :) We literally took a bath EVERY night together! Deklan LOVES his bath time :)

We walked up and down the Disney walk by Disney World- we ended up doing Universal Studios/Adventure Island for three days because I was seriously psyched for Harry Potter Land. More pictures to come on that later :)
He didn't love me trying to make him take a picture riding the dog made out of leggos- dang it

Picture from the flight up- he slept the WHOLE time both ways- not bad! :) It was great snuggle time :)

Getting the whole bed to himself for the morning- hahaha

 And a picture with the Grinch :) Thought the alligator shirt was appropriate for Florida! It was super hot so we did lots of movies and indoor relaxation as well- Next up will be pictures of Harry Potter Land- that one deserves it's own post! It was unbelievable!!! I want to go back...in the winter next time though- gosh dang humidity!
