Lazy Day Indoors

After spending time outside for 7 days straight, today was a lazy day indoors.  Mommy is under the weather and needed a day of calm.

Declan did not seem to mind one bit as he was still in lovely spirits today.  His big moments today came in the form of holding. First Mommy and Declan read, yet again, his Nursery Rhymes book.  Declan stares very intently at the pictures on the pages and today he held onto the pages, removing his little hand and grabbing onto the new page each time Mommy turned it.

Then Declan held onto the rattle that Nancy and Daniella bought for him.  He has only in the last two weeks been introduced to this toy because it is for 3+ month olds.  He has big bright eyes at the sound of the rattle and he enjoyed holding and shaking it on his own.  That was until he bonked his little cheek with it and cried. Admittedly I laughed when this happened because I expected this would probably happen...and he's cute when he cries...and I knew it wasn't a hard bonk.  He got over it pretty quicky with hugs from Mommy.

And finally Declan is quite proud of himself when he is changed on the changing table because now he can grab the orange plastic low piece attached to the little toy mat hanging on the way.  It is really wonderful watching him improving this skill and taking such enjoyment in it.

So off to bed before 9pm, sweet dreams Declan.
