Full Day with Auntie T

This morning was the first whole day that Declan spent with his Auntie T.  Daddy left for work at 6am and Mommy had to leave at 6:30am.  Little Declan was still in bed.  About 7am Declan was out of bed for his special day.

Declan got to have breakfast with his cousins.  Madison on one side and Josh on the other, little Declan sat in his highchair and ate his cereal. Afterward the guy looked sleepy. 

Then Declan joined his cousins for the ride to school.  He was so tired, he fell asleep in the car and Auntie T ended up driving around so the little man could get a nice long morning nap.

Just after 11am Auntie T sends an update: "Ate two bottles so far, his breakfast...every drop. 2 diapers soaked! In clothes now....slept over an hour, talked like crazy!! Played with (Uncle) Scott and is watching 'Little Einstein's' right now. Oh, but he has really bad hat head.

Almost 1pm and the next update: "Had a little fussy bit but that's all.  He ate a jar and a half for lunch....".  My guy has a great appetite.  Perhaps he's hitting his 9 Month growth spurt.  After lunch he was rubbing his eyes as it was time for his afternoon nap but he kept fighting it.  Decided instead to play with his bottle.

Then at about 2:15pm he did take that nap in his bouncy chair.  Nice.  Woke up at 3:35pm when Daddy got in from work.  Success! Little guy was happy and good for his Aunt and his Aunt survived a full day with a 9 months old.

I was so happy to get home just past 6pm which allowed me almost 2 hours of Declan time before he has to go to bed at 8pm (the new after daylight savings bedtime).  Wide awake when we took him to bed and not a peep, no complaints or tears at all.  Right to sleep.

Tomorrow he's a whole 9 months old and I have the day off so I can spend every moment with my prince.
