Declan at 21 Months

Dear Declan: 1 year and 9 months
  • You weigh 23.8 pounds 
  • You are wearing 6-9 and 9-12 month pants, 18 month shirts, size 4 diapers and 5 shoes.
  • Your favorite foods are: Banana, blue berries, apples, grapes, oranges, chicken, ketchup, bread, Fettuccine Alfredo, yo baby yogurt, Veggie straws, Cheerios, french fries, crackers, cookies, pizza and anything that's on our plates.
  • You sleep from 7:00pm-6:30am during the week and 1 nap from 12-2 sometimes until 2:30; on the weekends we are usually running errands and eating dinner late and visiting friends and family so you don't get to be until 7 or 8 but you usually sleep 11-15 hours and still take a 2 or 3 hour nap.
  • Oh my, you've started saying sooooo many more words this month!! You can now say cow, pig, horse, cat, bird, mimi, papa, gigi, nana, please, block, broke, car, baby, up, You kinda say Mooh and Pooh and you can still say dada, momma, milk, more, nite nite, nana(banana), all done, no no, thank you, bubbles, down, duck, bye bye, ball, my ball, book, turtle, dog, cracker, cookie and Mickey. 
  • You still love golf and play with all and any balls you can find.
  • We are starting to switch you from bottle at night to sippy cup.... its been a long process but it's time. You really don't like it, normally we give up after 10 mins and switch it over to a bottle but last night we didn't and it took 25 minutes for you to finally give in and take the cup. Tonight only 5 mins..... Now we just gotta get you to take your sippy cup while you're at Mimi's in the morning.
Declan James, I love you so much. I want to be with you all the time but I know right now I can't. I'm hoping next year things will be different and I can be home with you more. Please know I love you so much and I would do anything for you! This has been a hard month for me as I moved into a new job and I work an extra hour a day so I only see you an hour durning the week. It's killing me inside because all I can think about is how much I miss you and want to be with you. I can't believe how smart you are! You know where your food is and where we keep things at and how to turn the tv on! I really can't wait to see what this month has for us!!
