This morning Mommy and Declan went for a long walk. In fact we were gone for two hours. Everything was going well until we were about 15 minutes from home. I noticed a few rain drops and quickly got out the plastic stroller cover for the little guy and just in time. With that it started pouring rain. I got soaked. Ran for part of the way and then just as we were crossing the main road I saw Daddy driving up to the stop sign. He pulled over of course but after a quick, wet hello I told him to carry on home since everything was dripping wet and we didn't want to get the inside of the car soaked. When we got home Daddy was there waiting for us. We strolled into the garage and proceeded to peel off the rain cover and open up the stroller clam shell covers to find a bright eyed smiling DRY little Declan inside. He didn't mind the weather one bit.
During our adventure we stopped at the Superstore. We toured the Joe Fresh Baby clothes section but didn't see anything Declan needed. We then looked through the toy section. Declan looked around at all the colours, even smiled a few times Mommy picked up certain toys. He liked some but they were for older babies or toddlers. Then we spied a fun toy for babies 3 months and over. Declan seemed intrigued. We promptly rolled along to the checkout and now Declan is one Baby Einstein toy richer.
Now before we started off on our adventure I had told Declan that we would visit the library, get a library card and check out some interesting books...including at least one Dr. Seuss. Once the rain came, we were no longer stopping at the library. I didn't want to disappoint so I ran out mid-afternoon and grabbed the library card and some books on my own. We then read Wee Little Chick and Little Quack to Declan's delight. He was not in the mood for Seuss today however so we'll save those two for another day.
Being such a good 'grabber' Declan got a good hold of Mommy's ponytail today. He thought he was quite hilarious. Declan also thought it was pretty funny when he grabbed hold of the little hairs at Mommy's hairline and pulled real hard. Great.
Declan is laughing more and more often now. He laughed for Daddy when they played together on the living room floor and again when Daddy was changing Declan's diaper. Mommy is getting jealous. Declan is a regular smiley pants and he babbles on for Mommy nonstop but a good hardy laugh not yet.
Now it's 11pm, Declan is still awake in his crib. Not sure why his nightime sleeptime has lost any form of consistency.
