Awaiting Daegan & Beyond

February 2005

We found out in February that we're having a boy. In case you're wondering, the arrows apparently point that out. The technician had to work pretty diligently to find out what flavor of baby this guy was going to be, but everyone cooperated.

April 2005

Junior is now a very well developed young man. In this profile you can clearly see features. He's got himself folded up like a book.

I honestly could not tell you what the middle and right pictures are showing, although they look suspicously like Pink Floyd album art. The middle one may be a magnification of the third, possibly of his face. If there are any ultrasound technicians out there who could tell us what these pictures are, We'd welcome the email: jay@morrisseyweb.com

May 2005

What a neat profile shot of the boy. You can see his hand over his belly, some leg, and pretty good definition of his face.

July 2005

The boy is finally here! Daegan is a healthy and happy little boy and we couldn't be any happier!

August 2005

He's a month old already. Hard to believe. He's such a sweet little baby lump. Has it really only been a month since he joined our little family?

September 2005

This is the boy at 2 months old. Pokey Reese and he have been fast friends.

October 2005

My goodness. Three months old. He's growing and changing every day. Next month he'll be getting ready for his junior prom, by December he'll be filling out college applications, graduating from Harvard come spring and picking out his first house by next October.

November 2005

The boy is four months old. He's healthy and happy. He's been going to "school" a few days a week in town at a really good place, but it's difficult for mom and dad to let go.

He loves the other kids and is really starting to do a lot of things: talking more, pressing buttons, writting to The Wiggles fan club, reading the Sunday paper, finishing his masters' degree...

December 2005

Look how much he looks like the little man. He's so wonderful and such a happy little man.

January 2006

A six-month birthday! Our little man is six months old. He's cutting two teeth, too! His sister found those. Here, he's wearing Dad's scummy old Reds hat (no, it's a Cincinnati Reds hat, that's not a typo!).

We had his portrait taken this month as well. Here's a clipping of the portrait of the boy hanging on our wall.

February 2006

Here's the little man all bundled up and ready to head out for his day! Seven months old already and so far removed from last February's pictures above!

March 2006

Eight months old already! Where has the time gone? He's got two teeth in, two working their way in. He's as happy as any young man could be and a joy to be around.

(Almost) April 2006

Just about 9 months old. Four teeth, working on a fifth. Loves his fruits and veggies.

Such a funny little man.

May 2006

10 Months old. 5, almost 6, teeth. Working on those Ritz Crackers and loves Chinese of all things. Look at that mop of hair!!!

June 2006

Oh man, Mom does do some funny things! He's enjoying his day out in the little red wagon with big sister and Mom goes and gives him the mohawk treatment. Zounds, Ma...

July 2006

ONE YEAR!!  He's reaching his milestones and is thriving.  We love our little man.  He's added so much to our lives, we can't imagine life without him!!

August 2006

Oh man, the boy is getting bigger every day, developing more of his (stubborn at times) personality, and just figuring things out. He loves his Cheerios and French Fries. He's also cutting a couple (2!!!) molars which can't feel good.

September 2006

14 Months old and getting bigger every day.  Look at those teeth!  He was enjoying his day on the water as well.  He loves his "munchkins" and cheese sandwiches.  We love him so!

October 2006

He's just getting more cool every day. He started walking this month and has taken a liking to his sister's "shades." Hey man, don't take my picture...

November 2006

Okay, so it's LATE October - the 31st to be exact. Here's our little Halloweenie in his Pooh costume.

He's 16 months old on the first so what's a few hours among friends?

He's walking all by himself and is exploring just about everything he can. He still likes those Cheerios but Reese's Cereal is coming on strong.

December 2006

The second Christmas was on it's way, but the little man did very well keeping his cool.

Here he is relaxing in the late autumn leaves.

January 2007

Here's the hero of this little story enjoying some chocolatey goodness with his milk in preparation for the New England Patriots game. 

February 2007

19 months old and counting.  Here he enjoys a little snowfall in his "new" sled - we'd actually had it on hand for some time before there was any opportunity to use it and when he could, it was almost too small!

March 2007

Here's one that he'll live to regret for sure. Nothing like taking a tub.

April 2007

Here is the little man preferring to look at some cake instead of the camera.

May 2007

22 months old and almost continuously changing. He loves his sandbox. Here he's playing with his big sister contently.

June 2007

The little man showing his independence by clicking off the television just after he was asked not to.

July 2007

Our little man is 2 years old. Seems like just yesterday we were looking at those ultrasound pictures wondering what he would look like, who he would be...we just couldn't wait to meet him and now he's been here two full years.
