Happy Four Months

Today Declan turned the big 4 months old! We started the day nice and early getting on the road for Ottawa by 8am. Unlike our previous long road trips, this time Declan stayed awake for 75% of the trip. This meant that some songs and a couple book readings were required in order to keep him happy. Oh, and a tent. Each time I placed the receiving blanket over his feet to keep the sun off his toes Declan would kick the blanket off. Then I tried to be clever by pulling the blanket up higher so he couldn't kick it off, smarty pants pulled it up even higher on his own to again free his toes. Tricky monkey. So I pulled the blanket up over his seat and canopy to make a tent. Problem solved! So we got to Ottawa safely. The little man was happy to be at Grandma and Grandpas. Once we got set up inside I placed Declan down on his belly so Grandma could see how good he is on his belly. The result - Declan rolled over from his belly to his back, all on his own for the first time!!! Such a big boy!! I do believe he was very proud of himself. Now there is a large bay window with a big tree just in front here at Grandmas so Declan sat on Grandmas lap and stared outside at the leaves for easily over an hour and then again later after dinner when the rain rolled in. A last little snack in Grandmas arms and Declan was out for the night before 10pm. Happy 4 Months my big little man.
