I absolutely love stories like this one. Declan had his first birthday this past Saturday, and at first glance he looks like your normal one year old. You could never tell that he has been through more surgeries already than you will your entire life. Declan was born 24 weeks premature, weighing in at 1.1 pounds. Hold your hand out and look at it, he was about that size. It was a very emotional birthday party, most of his family never thought he would live to see it.
I love this photo, it really takes that famous saying literally, "a picture says a thousand words." His arms outstretched, Declan seems as if he knows he has conquered adversity and nothing can stop him....all in his first year:
Here he is with mom:
Here's dad entertaining his son:
His eyes lit up everytime I pointed the camera his way:
