9 Months

Some little man woke up a big boy this morning...9 months old.  So happy to have the day off so I could spend the entire day with my Declan. 

We started off with a normal bottle, some toys and then his breakfast.  Oh, and giggles and smiles.  We then moved onto bath time.  I filled the baby bath up as much as I could so Declan could have lots of splashes.  He liked it.  Started playing in the water with his hands right away. When I leaned him back to rinse out his hair he was crazy kicking his legs in the deep water and making big splashes that would go over the wall of the tub.  After his hair and body were all clean he wanted to play with his facecloth so I let him.  He would move it through the water then hang it out the side of the tub, then hold it high in the air, then off the side of the tub again...this kept going on and on, then he slapped me in the face with the cloth and I was soaked.  He's hilarious.  After play was done I pulled the drain in the bottom of his tub so all the water would run out and I could wrap him up in his towel before picking him up....what happened???  Just as nearly all the water had drained out, when there was just a mere inch of water left in the tub he peed.  It's one thing to pee in a large tub of water, it's another to pee in almost no water while sitting in a tub.  Uhhggg.  Still funny though.






After bathtime Declan had some tummy time and then a nap before my friend Kerri and her little boy Clayton come over for a visit.  Clayton is just 1 year old and he's about the same size as Declan.  When they arrived we met them at the door and immediately my little muffin man was all excited.  He likes people and making new friends.  Big smiles and the arms they were a waving.  The two boys sat on the floor together and passed toys back and forth. They were both having a good time but at one point when they were sitting together facing the same way Declan reached out and pushed Clayton backward.  He hit his head on the floor and started crying.  Declan just kept on with his business and was unfazed.  I don't think it was intentional, he didn't even notice what had happened. And surprisingly he didn't cry or get upset at all when Clayton was crying, he just watched him.

After they left I was just getting Declan settled down for his afternoon nap when Hayley texted to see if we'd join her and Owen for a walk and coffee shop visit.  We quickly packed up a diaper bag and got Declan dressed for the weather so we could go out.  Declan simply took that nap he needed in his stroller and he was still sleeping for a bit while we sat with our drinks. Then we headed home since Daddy was back from work.  The rest of the day was play and cuddles.  Then my little prince got sleepy and cranky just before his bed time so he was off to his room and crib and he fell asleep instantly. Loved my day home with him.
