Family and Friends from Far

Meeting new people today, our little Declan had visits from family all the way from Calgary and an old friend of Daddy's from Collingwood.

Declan and Mommy started the day off the usual ways, bottle and back to bed then up around 9am.  He had sweet potato for the fourth morning and then got changed and washed up because he had new people to visit with today.

Mommy's Aunt Stephanie and Uncle Mike dropped by with Declan's Grandma and Grandpa for a little visit.  This was the first time Declan would meet his Mommy's Aunt and Uncle because they live in Calgary, Alberta.  The little guy was quite content to sit on Stephanie's lap and reap all the attention.  So far little D is good with new people, unless of course they are men.  I don't know why but he just isn't happy with men that are not his Daddy and he cries when they get too close.  Poor Mike, he just wanted to meet the little man but Declan wouldn't have it.  He even visited with Grandpa from a slight distance because he cried for him last time Grandpa dropped by.  The little man is going to have to toughen up a bit.  It sure was nice for Mommy to see them, it's been a very long time.

Early afternoon Daddy had visitors that he hasn't had a chance to see in a long time.  Daddy's friend Chris, his wife Krista and their daughters Loren and Addison were over for some swimming and BBQ.  Declan seemed to enjoy all the girls around.  He starred for a long time at little Addison, only 1 year old and he smiled when 4 year old Loren sang him songs - Twinkle Twinkle never sounded so good.  Some mellow swimming in the pool and cuddles before bed, our guy fell asleep on Mommy's lap by the pool and was off to dreamland at 8pm.

....and Mommy fell asleep on the couch by 10pm.  Long day. (Daddy was asleep by 9:30pm)
