Teethies!!
We now have a tooth! On Sunday, January 24th, Declans top right front tooth has broke through and on the left side the tooth ridges are visible and can be felt through the gums.

cutting teeth
The last two days have been a nightmare! Poor Declan is in so much pain that if I am even a few minutes late in administering the Tylenol or Motrin he starts with the scrunchy face that quickly progresses into alligator tears and shaking fists. I peak into his mouth a few times a day at the little teeth trying to work their way through the stubborn gums. Poor Mr. D has 3 trying to come in at the same time, his two front teeth and a bottom one.
Sorry it has taken me so long to post again with Declan, packing, moving and unpacking on top of normal household chores; I am left with little time to spare.
The new apartment feels like home and we all love it. Declan loves the carpet and so do I, it is so much easier to keep clean. Only 5 minutes of vacuuming every other day compared to the sweeping that only seemed to move the dust around in the old house. Anyone that has ever lived in a house that is almost 100 years old knows that the dust is IMPOSSIBLE to manage.
Declan pushes up on his arms and can wiggle and squirm to get an object of desire. Usually food placed out of reach will get him really going; the food will be in his mouth in under a minute. He was up on all fours at book babies today after watching several other little ones crawling around.
He eats a ton and just moved on to finger foods. If he can grab it by the fist full it goes straight to his mouth but he has a hard time getting small pieces in. The banana o’s baby bite thingies are a little tricky for him.
Here a couple pics from the other day sorry about the quality my camera is still packed so I used my phone.

He's Growing So Fast!!
Declan is changing in leaps and bounds this month. He yells mama! when I leave the room and he squeals in delight at the anticipation of oncoming tickles. His new words are “mama” and “baba.”
He is figuring out how to do things through trial and error and he is mastering the meaning of cause and effect. He can even wave hello sometimes after much coaxing.
He has really gotten into his books and loves it when mommy reads him a story, actually we usually have two stories going at once. I read a few pages of one and he gets super excited, he flaps his arms and kicks his legs and squeals while grabbing for the book. I then pick up the other one and read a few pages, his reaction is the same and we trade books. About five minutes later both books are complete, even with a few soggy corners.
When we go for walks in the stroller now, he sits forward and watches people go by to the point he is leaning over edge to see the backs of them disappear.
He keeps trying to stand and just go from my lap, he doesn’t know how, so he just falls every time. He wants to crawl but he just hasn’t quiet figured it out. 8.5 months is the average age, and I am in no hurry.
We get our second round of immunizations tomorrow, HIB and DTaP. Next month he will get HIB and Polio.
the boy is starting to fuss and needs a nap
