Happy Boy

our lives changed forever with the addition of little man to our family. some days it’s hard to believe we’re parents. other days we feel like we’ve been run over by the ever-changing, fast-growing needs of our little man.

but we are so blessed by him. so very blessed.  Declan really is such a joy. and every day just keeps getting better.

 

some updates on things he’s doing so far:

  • he can roll over from tummy to back and back to tummy
  • he can sit by himself for long periods of time
  • so now he prefers sitting to being flat – which might delay crawling at this rate
  • more than that, he prefers standing to sitting – which is a lot of work for mommy & daddy since he can’t do this on his own at all
  • he sleeps 11 hrs a night (if we don’t put him to bed too late) without waking up
  • finally the majority of his naps are longer than 30 minutes!
  • his foray into baby foods include carrots, squash, peaches, applesauce, bananas & cereal.  he prefers applesauce, bananas & carrots.
  • he hates baby oatmeal but loves baby brown rice cereal
  • he is a constant babbler; all day long he has something to say about nothing in particular
  • reading is already a favorite activity
  • his daddy is his favorite story-teller
  • he’s started to kick when he’s swimming
  • when he’s learning a new activity, he looks very serious & rarely smiles (should be interesting when he’s older and playing sports)

peace out

 

God knew what He was doing when He placed Declan into our family. He definitely is the boy for us!
