Sleepover

For the last few nights Declan has been choosing to sleep in his bed rather than starting in the swing and getting moved to the bed after falling asleep. The best part is that he snuggles into his pillow then looks up at me and pats the pillow next to him, indicating he wants me to sleep with him. It's about the cutest thing I've ever seen.

Moving

Declan started walking the day before Aiden's birthday. He has been climbing up the steps for several weeks before that.

We have been working on climbing down off the treadmill, it is a effectively a single step and is a great practice area and every few days we do an assisted run down the stairs.

Tonight for the first time after he crawled up he didn't just hang out crying, he cried a bit and then turned around and slowly went down the stairs. He then did it two more time.

It is so fun to watch him practice and master these skills.

Happy shots?

It's 3:30 AM the morning after Dex had his shots. He should be feverish, tired and grumpy... Instead he has been rolling around the bed giggling and smiling for the last 30 min.

Updates

Been at Disneyland this week. Declan has been much happier since his two bottom teeth punched through. He has been eating everything we feed him, not even a pucker sower face from lemon aid. He is solidly in the sitting phase and has started pushing himself up and backwards when on belly.

First word, mama.

Hands

In the last week or so I've started grabbing stuff. This is more than The traditional grab and rip Binky out of my mouth accidently. No, this is real grabbing, where I see something I reach for it (I missed a couple times) and get my fingers on it. Watch out parents, I'm gonna be trouble!

Learning

Declan has grown up a lot in the last week two weeks. He has been able to get his hands in his mouth for a while now and now can identify items and reach for and grab them as well. He also just learned to roll over and really enjoys the challenge of practicing, till he gets stuck on his belly with face in the carpet.

In general he has been full of smiles and very happy!
