Can't Help but be Cute

Mommy and Declan went on a nice long walk this afternoon.  We walked 10 km and it took us about an hour and a half to make the entire trip.  It was warm but there was a nice cool breeze, really nice walking weather.  Declan napped kms 2 through to 5 but he managed to remain awake the rest of the time.  Kms 8 to 9 were rather as Declan was babbling and squealing out loud.  At one point during the walk we passed two teenage girls and as we walked by one yelled out "Your son is cute!" to which her friend responded "why did you say that?" and then she said "because he is."  There it is, he just can't help but be cute.

For dinner tonight Declan had meat for the 2nd day.  I forgot to mention that yesterday I tried meat again (since when I tried to introduce meat the first time it did not go well).  Yesterday and today he ate his turkey and mixed vegetables all up.  He still made a gagging face for the first two mouthfulls but then he ate it all up.  Of course there was some fruit to wash it down with which should have made it all better.

After dinner, and after Daddy got home from work, the three of us headed out to the grocery store.  This was the first time that we left the car seat in the car and placed Declan right into the child seat part of the grocery cart.  Now thanks to Mommy's friend Nancy, Declan has a pretty cool cover for the cart so that Declan doesn't get dirty germ hands and it helps strap him securly to the cart.  He loved it.  Such a big boy, he sits up so well and he was having a grand old time with Daddy all over the store.

Then later this evening Declan visited with Auntie T and Uncle Scott for about 20 minutes.  There were full belly laughs and cute little squeals while Declan proceeded to kick Uncle Scott in the chest and chin.  He was having a blast.  Auntie T had to hold onto him tight as there was so much strenth and determination in those legs.
