Declan went to his first Baby Birthday Party today. Little Molly turned 2 years old today. It was a gorgeous day so the party took place outdoors. We placed Declan's picnic blanket down so the little man could stretch out. There were lots of kids there but Declan was the littlest one. The next youngest were two little girls aged 14 months each but they were both walking around. There were lots of people curious about Declan, young and old so he was visited lots but he couldn't play with the other kids. He did enjoy watching them run around though. He had a special visit from 4 1/2 year old MacGregor who plopped down in front of Declan for a little while trying so hard to get him to smile at him. Successful as the little guy was drooly and grinning.
At one point durring the party when Declan was laying on his back staring up at the trees when a nice strong breeze came through. Declan was bright eyes and a huge smile looking up watching the leave blowing. There was also a weird stripped beetle-like bug that landed on the picnic blanket so Mommy picked it up for Declan to see. Right away he tried to grab it. Mommy pulled it away and then brought it in again for another Declan view. Then Declan pulled Mommy's hand close to his mouth because he wanted to eat it. No luck Declan, that could make you sick. Mommy did let Declan have a taste of Cake whipped cream icing though.
For dinner tonight we also gave Declan nice fresh Niagara peaches to try. He had peaches from a jar and he didn't like them one bit but thought perhaps fresh peaches might taste a whole lot better. No luck. He just doens't like them. We'll have to try the again in a few weeks to see if he grows to like them. Peaches are Mommy's 2nd favourite food so here's hoping Declan comes around.
Well the little man didn't have even the shortest of naps while we were at the party so no real surprise Declan crashed in the car on the ride home. After getting home Declan was into his jammies, had a quick bottle and then right into bed. He was just exhausted. Not a bad first Baby Birthday party.
