Arden Westbrook's 100 Baby Challenge: Vale Declan Hamish, Baby 48

Here we remember my 48th baby, Declan.

Declan's father was a police captain named Ricardo Villa.

I charmed Ricardo...

And ended up pregnant for the 38th time.

In labour!

Baby 48, Declan Hamish, was born, followed moments later by his twin Otis.

Declan aging up with the help of big brother Elliot.

Declan as a toddler. He had the Fussy trait. At this point I made comparisons to Declan and Otis being my set of twin boys (and my first kids at all!), Arlo and Asher, reincarnated. Both sets of twins had my hair colour. In both sets, the oldest (Arlo/Declan) had brown eyes. In both sets, the youngest (Asher/Otis) was a Charmer.

Declan and Otis look cute as in their formalwear at Zoe's wedding.

Declan as a child. He gained the Dog Lover trait and had the Rambunctious Scamp aspiration.

The moment Declan and Otis became BFFs!

When the triplets were born, Declan just couldn't contain his, er, excitement.

Otis, Holly, Claus, Declan and Finley.

Declan as a teen! He gained the Loves Outdoors trait and Outdoor Enthusiast aspiration, the first of my children to have that one! It was apparent he was the mini-Ricardo and Otis was the mini-Arden - they barely looked like brothers!

Hugs with little brother Finley.

And playing with Finley too!

Declan was most excited when I announced we were going to Granite Falls. This was going to be great for his aspiration!

Declan loved the camping life.

Aiden thought it was hilarious how Declan made his homework talk.

Declan's 18th!

Declan as a young adult! He gained the Good, Emotional Control and Responsible traits. He was only the second of my children to have the Emotional Control trait.
