Another Spin

Today was a Daddy - Declan day and the morning after a very late night for Declan.  Since he only got to bed/sleep at 10pm last night D was still soundly sleeping at 8:30am this morning.  Daddy decided he'd go get the little man up since we need him back on his usual routine.  By 10:30am there had already been 3 POOP DIAPERS.  Was it protest to being woken up? Was it the peanut butter? Is he just a crazy poop machine?  Who knows.  Too funny that this keeps happening on days when I'm at work all day and can't be there to help with the dirty diapers...wait...what's this..poop #4.  Too funny. 

Daddy set up Declan's motorcycle today so that he could go for a little ride.  He's only been on it a few times since getting it for Christmas so it was due.  Apparently some little mad just loved it.  He held onto the handles while Daddy pushed him from room to room.  Declan wouldn't put his feet up but he still managed to hold them off the floor.  There was some bouncing along, there was horn honking, there was opened mouth displays of excitement, the muffin man was tearing it up cute little baby style.  So jealous I missed it...but still not disappointed about missing poop city.

The boys hit the real streets later today and visited the grocery store.  My mini man is quite a hit with the ladies.  He was tilted head smiling and of course he remembered one of his signature moves....hands together in front with arms outstretched, a little wiggle and a big toothy smile.  Works every time.  What. A. Flirt.  We're so proud.

Most days with Daddy there comes a time where things slow down a little bit and they read some books for about 30 minutes.  The Muffin Man's favourite book is still his Mother Goose Nursery Rhyme book.  As they read along and turn the pages Declan anticipates which is next and can identify them by their picture.  Now when you get to 'Paddy Cake', Declan starts clapping his hands together as soon as he sees the picture on the page.  He really is more fun every day.

When I got in from work tonight Declan was nearing the end of his dinner.  Daddy let me jump in so I could have some Declan time.  I got to hear all about their adventures while my little guy finished up his pasta o's and scarfed down some cinnamon apple sauce.  Once he was cleaned up it was time for his pjs and his bedtime bottle but lucky for me we squeezed in another spin around the apartment so I could see my happy guy on his motorcycle.  He's so happy.  In fact...couldn't keep his hands on the handles because he needed to pump his arms in delight.  And the mouth...wide open, just like his smiley eyes.
