Holding Out

So some little muffin has been holding out on us. I dropped Declan off at Daycare this morning and Kelly tells me that Declan holds his own bottle. Really!?! Not with me he doesn't. Kelly says she places both of his hands on the bottle and then lightly holds the end up with one finger. Once she knows he's got it she lets go and voila, he's holding his own bottle. We'll now we're going to have to try this at home too...but then again, I'm going to miss holding the bottle and smuggling him while he drinks.

Now Declan is great when I bring him to daycare or when he's with his Aunt-he doesn't cry when I leave him BUT when I get home from work and its been hours since he's seen me he gets really excited to see me and doesn't want me to leave. This has resulted in my having to carry him around while I prepare dinner because he doesn't want to be apart. I don't mind one bit because I don't want to be apart either.
