Simple Monday

Why is everybody always so hard on Mondays?  A Monday spent with Declan is wonderful.  Up at 9am for the day, we decided to head upstairs and see if Auntie T was free for a mini visit.  She was!  Funny enough the little guy was just so tired he fell asleep just after 10am and was out cold on Mommy's lap for almost 40 minutes.  When Daddy walked in from work at 10:35 he snuck in to see Declan and just then the little man opened his eyes, saw Daddy, and gave a huge gummy smile.  Declan loves his Daddy.

So then he was awake and it was off to the high chair for some breakfast.

Just after 11am Grandma Gale dropped by for some Declan time.  Little guy was awake and in good spirits.  Sitting on Grandma's knee the little guy was all ticklish as Grandma "Criss-Cross, Apple Sauced" his back.  He really does have a ticklish little back.

After some Grandma time the little guy was down again for another nap - sleeyp kid.  Lots of happy play with Mommy in the afternoon and then it was dinner time.  Mommy thought perhaps we could tried mixed vegetables with chicken and get some meat into the kid for the first time.  NO CHANCE!  Declan would not close his mouth and continued to slowly push the food back out with his tongue.  Fine.  I get the hint.  Not ready for meat flavours just yet.  Ate his pear and then mixed up some simply cereal to make sure his little belly was all fulled up.

Then it was bathtime.  Kid was overdue.  Now he smells so good.

Cuddles and playtime, a quick ride on Mommy's shoulder and a nice display of kicking for Daddy and it was off to bed at 9pm. 

Hopefully Declan has some nice baby dreams and gets a good nights sleep.  Playdate tomorrow afternoon with his buddy Owen.
