"Ah Man"

The Muffin Man is getting more confident. He cruises along the furniture at high speeds and now he will crawl a bit with his knees up, just hands and feet on the floor. Of course with more mobility comes more boo boos. Declan fell face first into a wall tonight. Face first slid down the wall. Poor monkey.

Funny kid has learnt a new saying: "Ah Man!" Well that's what Daddy's been teaching him. When Declan tries to say it, it's more like "Ah Me!"

He is rather entertaining. I especially love watching him thinking through things. Tonight I watched as he played with his blocks. He would scan the pile for the specific ones he needed to build his tower. He would pick out specific colours and stack them in particular ways. It's difficult to really comprehend that he is his very own person, seeing the world through different eyes and using a different brain. It's hard to grasp that though he came to be from us that he is a separate person experiencing the world in his own way. Just unbelievable. 

Right now he's asleep in his crib, having his very own baby dreams. So very different than the dreams I'll have tonight. I'm certain Elmo will not be in mine.
