Wow, the past 4 months have flown by.  Dermot loves eating his hands, reading books, staring at his feet, taking baths and hanging out with his crazy cousins!

4 months old and smiling up a storm!

A day in the life of Dermot…

Catching up on everyone who’s met Dermot

While Dad wishes his full time job could be to hang out with Dermot and update the blog, he had to go back to his actual full time job last month — and alas, the blog took a back seat.

But we’re back! And Dermot is continuing to grow, so there’s a lot to get to. So let’s start with pictures of people he’s met…
