Milestones

Last night we turned Declan's car seats around so that they were now front facing. Big morning for the Muffin Man as he got to sit facing forward for the first time on our way to daycare. He couldn't stop smiling. He had this look in his eyes like he thought he was getting away with something. It was sort of a "can you believe this?" look. Car rides just got a whole lot more interesting....and the leg room....kid can kick 'til his hearts content.

This evening, home with Daddy and Declan finally decides he wants up. There it is...Declan stood on his own for the very first time. Daddy was sitting in a chair when he felt little Declan hands on his knee and then voila, Declan was standing without any assistance. Another round of baby-proofing coming up!!

And lastly, my heart is melting with this little man and his growing displays of affection. Daddy was holding him when Declan saw me. I walked closer and he reached out for me, came in for a kiss then put his arms around me best he could for a hug. I could feels his little armed attempt at holding me tight. 

And then he licked me. 

He's still learning.

At bedtime he gave kisses to us both and then after we left his room he fell asleep instantly. 

Not a peep. 

Sweet baby dreams bud.
