Please forgive me for neglecting the blog for the past month....my dear two followers, I'm so very sorry! :)
We've been busy around here! Declan has been using rolling as his main mean of transportation for a long time now...and he just decided about a month and 1/2 ago that he would like to crawl. This kid is exhausting! Everyone kept telling me to enjoy that he wasnt into everything...and they were right! My days are now spent picking up door stoppers (that is his very favorite thing to play with!) and saving Daisey. He loves to chase Daisey's tail, to open and slam shut the kitchen cabinets, and follow me around the house (that is precious!). He's pulling up on things but I still think walking is a few months away. He still wont bend his knees if we "help" him walk....and he loves to stand on his tippie toes.
He is such a big boy in so many ways now...I'm just blown away. When people ask how old he is and I say "14 months", I'm always shocked when I say it. Where on earth did the time go? He is so precious and such a joy. I'm still loving being at home with him. Matt admitted to me recently that he surprised that I havent gone crazy yet. But it really just gets better and better! The first few months were the hardest to adjust to - now I cant imagine being away from him. I love a rare break from time to time, just like any other Mom, but overall, I really love being at home with him. I'm so lucky to have such a wonderful husband who works so very hard so I can do this. I'm forever grateful to him for this life of ours!! I went and looked at a few daycare centers in January to see if I could part with him 1 or 2 days a week and it was heartbreaking! I told Bev (one of my two dear followers) that it would be like the "hard knox life." I really meant it jokingly..I know he would adjust. But, those kids didn't have pacifiers...or bottles...they were tough. I'm afraid I have spoiled Declan rotten. I still think the interaction would be great for him though. I might revisit the subject in a couple months. I just don't have the heart right now!
This is what we do while Mom is taking a shower and getting ready! :)
Declan's favorite word is still "Yeah" and I swear I heard him say "Daisey" last night. He also says, Mama (not very often!) and Dada. I asked him a few weeks ago if I could brush his teeth and he told me "no." He hates to have his teeth brushed...poor kid. So now I just brush...no asking!
Tonight I put his veggies on his tray and he started sorting them....putting the pea's in the cup holder (he hates pea's) and the corn in another pile (he loves corn!)...it was hilarious. I can usually point and laugh at things he does and blame it on Matt but I'm afraid this OCD quirk might be all mine....
Lots of love to you all!
