Last Day Before the Big 1

Today was Declan's last day before turning 1 year old. My little old man. Got him up this morning and he's finally started sitting up in his crib in the mornings. Not before we go in his room but once he's fully away and knows we're coming to get him he sits up in anticipation.

The morning after the day that he banged his end on the tile floor and he looks great. Barely any swelling (just in his nose) and very little bruising. He was back to daycare today and he was happy to be there. Very sweet, heard today that just last week Kassen (2yr old boy at daycare) has started doing things to get Declan to imitate him. I watched this morning as Kassen slapped his legs then watched for Declan to do the same. Baby/toddler play...just adorable. It's just so cute watching them play on their own without encouragement or the lead by us adults. Proud of my boy.

I was back at work for most the day but did get home in time to give Declan his bedtime bottle with some cuddle time. I'm so excited for his Birthday. We spent an hour tonight putting his present from Grandma and Grandpa May together so he can play right away tomorrow.

I hope he likes cake.
