Braver and stronger, Declan spends so much time standing at the furniture now. This morning he practiced bending down to pick up monkey and stand straight up again. Each time we'd cheer and clap. Declan would smile and hide his face. Then he'd drop monkey to the floor and pick him up all over again.
This afternoon he cruised along the ottoman about three feet and when encouraged today he reached for me, let go of the furniture and took two steps toward me. So proud of him. I couldn't help but scoop him up and squeeze him.
This evening before dinner Daddy watched as Declan and I played in the pool. He laughed when his cousins Madison and Josh would disappear under the water then pop back up. He giggled when I tossed him high in the air and caught him just as his toes hit the water. I'm so pleased that he still likes being in the pool. His 1 year Birthday was the last time we went for a swim.
Then it was dinner with his cousins, Aunt, Uncle and Gramma and Poppa came over too. Daddy and Declan had a great day. Daddy says best Father's Day so far.
