Declan Update

I've been meaning to put these up for awhile...For you Mom!! ;)  Here's just a sampling of how busy my life is lately! Decs is officially everywhere & his favorite spot to play/climb is this side table!  He also really enjoys the dog food dish & sneaking away to Sissy Hayden's bedroom (where she keeps the toys he can't have...but REALLY wants!)  He's a monster, just shy of 21 lbs, so he's like wrestling an alligator when you dress him, change his diaper, or are trying to get him away from something he really wants!  Hayden was NEVER as busy & ALWAYS going as he is- which scares the daylights outta me! However, he just started giving kisses, so one of those makes up for all his shenanigans! ;)
He's DEFINITELY a mommys boy, which is probably attributed to the fact that I just stopped nursing him (he's sleeping WAY better on formula = much happier momma!)  We try really hard to get him to finish his bottles during the day (way too busy & easily distracted to eat!) so that we can all get some rest at night. Lately, he'll eat & go to bed around 7:30pm and make it until 6am to eat again- although he wakes once or twice around 10/11pm to be snuggled back to sleep.  He's getting way more vocal- lots of baby babbles! He is a great eater when it comes to real food- he loves cheerios & puffs as well as the baby mum-mum crackers. As far as pureed food- he pretty much eats everything. He wasn't a big fan of applesauce, but loves green beans!!  I think that we got the picky eater with big sissy & he'll probably eat us out of house & home (oh wait...we're crashing at the in-laws...he'll eat them out of their house!!! LOL!!!)  ;)  He's growing like mad & in 12 month clothes (he's ALMOST 8 months old), size 4 shoes & size 3 diapers.  And, without further adoo....here's our busy busy busy boy! :)



Be warned: poor guy falls & bonks his head at the end of this one! He was just fine afterwards! :) Hazards of learing to stand!
