The best hat everrrrr!!!!!!

TK - one of my beautiful not so little girls anymore that I used to coach came over on Saturday to hang out with Declan and brought some awesome gifts - among which is this killer hat!!!!! Her grandmother made this for the little man and it could not be cuter. I've had it on him ever since...............too bad its 100 degrees out here. Guess we'll have to keep our house cold because I'm not taking this off of him. I am in love :)
WTF mom - another picture?!?!?! :)

There's the camera face! oh how I've missed that

Thanks for the side view champ

Someone sees his frog!

My little girl and my little boy :)

Concentration station

we're very serious here when it comes to our toys. 


oh hi little boogy there's a smile!!!

Our house is no longer our house........

IT IS DECLAN'S!!!!!!!! Check out the circuit we have going on down in our living area.....

He goes from swing to exersaucer to bumbo to little mat...........


to his mat where he rolls and checks himself out in the mirror to this other chair....



and finally the johnny jump up! Good Lord I'm tired just thinking about it.........

PS you like the positioning of the johnny jump up?! Guests especially like it when they have to go to the bathroom ;) Eh - you do what you gotta do!

A week of 1st's........

Wednesday morning: First time he rolled from back to tummy - and now he won't stop!
Friday afternoon: First time REALLY eating rice cereal. And he LOVES it - he'll grab my hand with the spoon and shove it in his mouth! Once its all gone he will proceed to lick his fingers to get all the remaining goodness. That's my boy :)



Sunday all day: First time sucking his thumb! He has found it and he likes it. Actually I think he likes all of his fingers these days as I'm pretty sure he's teething and they feel good and his sore little gums........but this is the first time he has really sucked his thumb only.
Sunday afternoon: First time "sitting up"! In quotes because he leans over and put his hands on the ground in front of him to balance or play with whatever toy is down there but he's sitting and semi-balancing!!! Go ahead little man!

Who knows what he will do next..............................

Teething?????

I have no idea but EVERYTHING is going to this kid's mouth.




Daddy's blankie, daddy's boy

So here we have little DB with his daddy's blankie - that mind you he STILL sleeps with :) Looks like Daddy's got some competition for it.......


FLIPPY FLIPPERSON!

So he's been rolling from his tummy to his back since he was about 6 weeks old but THIS - THIS IS NEW! He's been working towards this flipping from the back to tummy for awhile now, starting with some feet in the mouth rolling side to side, then the serious arching of the back and now finally the actual roll. I don't know what to do with him! The minute you put him anywhere he's moving and grooving, rolling around all over our house. We're officially in trouble............................

Here's a video of a roll we got on camera - this was the first morning he figured out how to do it :)


And here's a cute video of him trying to figure out how on earth to move on his tummy. 

New sleeping situation....it was necessary.

We found him a couple mornings ago flipped on his tummy in his trench and his face was basically buried in the trench. He was fine but clearly not all that happy with the situation so we're having to transition out of the trench.....YIKES - he's done much better than I thought he would but we do use the trench as a barrier so he doesn't flip all over the bed as when he finds himself all of a sudden on his tummy when he's trying to sleep he isn't very pleased. So for now, we'll transition with the barrier and hopefully soon when he gets a little more comfy on his tummy we'll be able to take it out and let him roam wherever he wants!
For now though I think he's pretty comfy....

This is how/why he's going to learn to crawl..........

..............he's OBSESSED with his bottle!!!

Eyein' daddy...

Now he sees mommy.......

And now the bottle - WATCH OUT
