Church

Today was Chelsey Shortt's Christening. This also means that today was Declan's first time in church. He seemed to like the place when we got there because of everything to look at. He especially liked the giant ceiling fans. He lit up when he saw Chelsey in her big beautiful white dress, he was crazy smiley when he saw MacGregor and he also is quite fond of Nancy's husband Eliot. MacGregor asked his mom "why does he keep smiling at me?" And Nancy told him "it's because he likes you". So sweet.

Declan was so excited and looking around at everyone. He grabbed on to the pew in front of him and kept pulling himself forward while I tried to pull him back-little guy is crazy strong. All was great until...my shy little guy decided church was the perfect time to find his voice and with that he started babbling in very loudly (great acoustics) and would not stop...at all...Daddy had to leave and wait in the lobby so we couldn't hear him...and did he stop there?...no. He just kept on going. Who knew he had some strong opinions about the place. 

When the service was done we packed up and headed to the reception for some food and drinks. There was a high chair all set up for the little guy, pulled up to the table. He settled in for a very late lunch (he's the best, his lunch was almost 2 hours late and he's still sweet). After eating all his lunch he shared some of ours. Declan had some cut up pasta with tomato sauce and a small piece of bread. After the meal there was a candy bar (which Daddy was excited for). Declan got to share a coke flavored sucker with his Daddy. Very cute as they alternated licks. It was a long day for Declan and a nap was overdue but he would not sleep with all the activity around him. His eyes were glued to the kids all running around. Poor Declan's eyelids were so heavy but he just wouldn't let them close. Finally just after 4pm we packed up for home. Fastened Declan into his car seat and just as Daddy backed out of the parking space Declan was fast asleep. He was barely in the car two minutes and lights out. He got a good nap in on the drive home and we were very proud once again of our little prince.
