Declan is 7 months old today!

Declan is 7 months old today! For the first year, we're entitled to celebrate months instead of years. He's eating solid food now, if you call mushy rice cereal "solid". He coos a lot and definitely recognizes his parents. He's been on 4 plane flights already. He weighs 15 lbs and is about 27 inches tall. And we love him!

Florida Trip

Just got back from 4 days in Florida with Declan. We stayed in Hollywood (FL) Beach. Babies are actually pretty easy to travel with; they are cheap, don't complain about being dragged to museums and relatively portable. The downside is all the STUFF. Clothes, diapers, 2 strollers, a crib...you name it.

But Declan loved the warm weather and got to play in the sand and swim in the inn's pool.

Quick plug for the Inn: Hollywood By The Sea B & B. Great location, one of the few true inns in Florida and great hosts.

Decko traveled fine, except for the blowout poop 30 minutes before we landed back in Boston. Tiff and I were scrambling to get him cleaned up before we landed. Flight attendant was passing us stuff. Like a well-oiled surgical team.
