Wet Raspberries

Declan was in such a good mood today - it was a blast.

This morning Daddy was off for work at a later time (7am) so Mommy and Declan were alone until 4:30pm.  We made sure to try and fill the day so 4:30pm would seem to get here faster.  When Declan got up for the day at 9am we hung out on the floor with his toys and his morning bottle and just relaxed.  Breakfast was up at 9:45am and Declan had a new cereal - wheat and mixed berries - which went over very well.  After breakfast we played some more and then at 11am Declan got washed up.  Changed his diaper but before putting on fresh clothes for the day it was time for a quick photo shoot with his new giant monkey and his normal 'best friend' monkey. 

Pictures were a success.  He's my favourite subject.

Then Declan was dressed so we could get ready for a nice walk and some fresh air but sleep took over my little prince and he passed out cold on our bed with the two monkeys for over an hour.  I really didn't know what to do but wait for him to wake up so we could go on our mini outing.  So I waited.

Once Declan got up we headed out for about an hour and a half.  Walked to Starbucks.  Mommy got a berry drink and Declan had his bottle while we sat inside.  Then we headed back home.  The fresh air was a bit much for Declan as he fell asleep again for about 20 minutes on the way home.

We were not home too much before Daddy got home so we just played for a bit until he arrived.  Declan got in s few minutes of Daddy time right away and then he had his dinner while Daddy got washed up and into his comfy clothes.  After dinner Declan was a nut.  He was laughing so loud, there were the highest pitched squeals and then came the wet raspberries.  That's right.  Declan was working up some nice spit bubbles and he couldn't stop laughing.  This made me laugh really hard which made Declan laugh harder and vice versa.  My stomach was aching from laughing so much. 

While I was getting dinner for Daddy and me, Declan was playing and squealing with Daddy.  Then a knock at our door.  It was cousin Madison with a parcel for Declan.  Yay!  Declan's Halloween costume has arrived already!! 

He is the cutest little monkey there ever was.  I can't believe what a sweetheart he is.  We put this big warm costume on him complete with hat and feet and he doesn't cry, fuss or complain in any way.  Instead we get smiles.  He really is perfect.
