Declan at 31 & 32 Months

Dear Declan: 31 & 32 Months

You weigh 30 pounds!! WHAT!!
You are still wearing 12-18 month shorts and some 2t shorts (depending on the brand) and 2t shirts
You sleep from 7:30-8:00pm-6:30am during the week and a nap from 1:00-3:30 sometimes until 4; on the weekends we keep you up until 8 or 9 and you usually wake up right at 12 hours but will just play in your bed and let us sleep in for a little bit longer.
You are a little parrot! You point to something you don't know what it is and we tell you and then you say the word. I think you really love learning new words!
You are always saying 'what's that noise?' and then learning new sounds and words!
You and daddy love 'hiding' in your tent went I get home later than you both and I pretend to not know where you're at. You laugh and laugh. It's super cute!
We have gone on a few mini vacations in the past couple of months! We went to Kansas City for a long weekend and then Hot Springs for another long weekend over 4th of July. You did great and we all had a blast!
We visit Nana and Papaw during the July 4th holiday and then you stayed a few days extra while Nanny B was on vacation.
We started swimming lessons this past weekend and you loved every minute of it. I don't know if I've ever seen you so happy! You kept saying 'My turn, my turn' So cute!
We got you bigger shoes again! You're now in size 8's in your nike's but some size 7's still fit!
You are getting so big so fast. I just can't believe that in 4 months an you'll be 3 years old.

Declan: Seven Months

You wear 3-6 pants and 6-9 month shirts (the 6-9 months paints are big around your waist)
You weigh about 14.5 pounds.
You wear size 2 diapers
People make a lot of comments about how adorable you are and that you should be a baby model!
You take 2 naps a day, usually around 9/10 and 2. You still are going to be bed around 6:30.
You hardly wake up anymore thru the night. Every once and while you just want your paci and you go right back to sleep. We have been lucky on the weekends, when you wake up you take a bottle and go back to sleep util 8-9.
When you get tired you start rubbing your eyes.
Your favorite toys are the jumper (you think people holding you is a jumper!) and you love all your toys, especially the balls.
You are starting to sit up by yourself but I spot you because you still fall over sometimes.
You love food. Such a boy. I can't get the food to your mouth fast enough and you are super impatient and you hit the table and scream/cry.
You love bath time. You splash and play with all your toys.
You started swimming lessons on May 30, and you loved it!! You went every Saturday until the end of June. We plan on taking you every year!
You love all big kids. You just stare and laugh at them.

I can't believe its been 7 months. People weren't kidding when they say time flies when you're having fun! You are getting so big but you're still so small. You are army crawling and its so cute. You will get up on your hands and toes, like a push up, and then fall and then do it all over again. You are so eager to learn how crawl but still scared. You're almost cutting your bottom two teeth. Maybe by 8 months you'll have some teeth. Declan I can't say this enough, I am so happy you're ours. Your daddy and I love you so much. I love seeing you grow and I love seeing you with your family that loves you.
