I got to spend my entire day with my little monkey. Couldn't he happier. Just watching him play with his toys and examine his world could keep me engaged for hours.
Since I was told Declan uses a sippy cup at daycare I thought I'd put milk in a sippy cup for our 1/2 hour drive to see Daniella and Declan's girlfriend Chesley. I saw in the mirror that he easily drank 1/2 of the bottle. No difficulty lifting and tipping the bottle for a drink. He really doesn't look like a baby any more.
Seeing Declan and Chelsey together sitting side by side, they look like little people. I can't believe that a year ago they simply laid side by side and starred up at toys.
When we were leaving Daniella held Chelsey at the door to say bye to Declan. We leaned the two of them in to each other. They obliged us by leaning in far enough they their little cheeks touched and they sweetly smiled. Adorable. Daniella then tipped Chelsey in toward Declan again and she leaned in further herself so I leaned Declan in and he put his forehead onto her cheek and again they smiled. Two more times they repeated this and they were so cute together. We could have kept this up for hours but then I insisted we stop and head on our way.
When we got home I sat Declan down and took of his windbreaker and unzipped his hoodie. He then tried to put both ends of his zipper together again so he might zip it back up. He tried intently. I thought I could help by starting it a bit which made him cry. So I unzipped it again and he worked hard to put both sides together. He was never going to get it but its very impressive that he'll sit and try for so long. It was 20 minutes this time.
