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.
