Declan started his third month with a trip into New York City! He sat with his big, round eyes opened wide during his first train ride, and catnapped through Central Park and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, completely underwhelmed by the throngs of tourists, the 90-degree heat, and priceless art from centuries past. Even Monet and Picasso did not impress. He did blink awake the moment we stepped into an Uber and screamed loud enough to drown out all of the city noise. After twelve full weeks at home, Mom went back to work just a few days before her school's summer vacay and his big sister finally got her wish and fed him a bottle. He ended this month with his first airplane ride to Texas where he became acquainted with barbecue and sweet tea, doting neighbors and his namesake. Pappy mesmerized him with his drum set, showed him where he keeps the candy stashed, and lulled him to sleep on his shoulder. Nanny's huge smile and endless, expressive baby-talk charmed Declan and sparked his biggest smiles and biggest coos to date!
