Declan at 28 Months

Dear Declan: 28 Months

• You weigh 26.7 pounds

• You are wearing 18 month and they are short! 2t jeans (for length and we had to let some buttons go in the adjustable waist!!) 2t shirts, size 4 diapers size 5 over night diapers and and size 6 shoes.

• You have been very picky this month with food. We will offer you everything and anything and you won't take it or eat it. We have to sit you in timeout to get you to eat. You like Chickfila chicken and pizza! You will eat a bunch of fruit and snack food but you won't want anything we eat. Nanny B says you eat good at her house so I don't know what to do!

• You sleep from 7:00-7:30pm-6:30am during the week and a  nap from 12:30-2:30 sometimes until 3; on the weekends we keep you up until 8 and you usually wake up right at 12-14 hours but will just play in your bed and let us sleep in for a little bit longer. 

• You can count to ten and say some of the ABC's with help! 
• We've had the bug again this month! We were getting ready to leave to go out of town and you threw up. All. Over. Me. the couch, and the floor.... We decided to go ahead and just stay home, good thing daddy and I go it 2 days later. 
• Valentines was this past month! We went to one of our favorite restaurants and had a sweet little dinner. You looked so cute in your little robot shirt we got you to wear!

Your terrible twos are in full swing.  You don't want to eat, you don't want to mind, nor listen. You get grounded from your tablet more than you get to use it and you have been in time out a lot. You like to cross your arms and say NO and hit at us. You crossing your arms is cute and I have a hard time from not laughing at you. Declan you can get on my last nerve but I can't imagine life without you. You are my everything!!

Declan at 16 Months

Declan: 1 year and 4 Months

• You weight 20.8 pounds
• You are still wearing 12 month shirt, some 6-9 paints some 9 - 12 month pants, size 3 diapers, and size 4 shoes.
• Your 4 molars have finally popped thru, I feel like they have been coming in for months now!
• You still walk everywhere and almost running! Like a really fast walk!
• You sleep from 7pm-6:30am during the week and 1 nap from 11-1 sometimes until 2; 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 11-12 hours and still take a 2 or 3 hour nap.
• You still love your bath time and you love pooping in the tub just as much.
• You love food! You've started getting more independent and are wanting to feed yourself and not have us feed you. 
• You can say dada, momma, milk, more, nite nite, nana(banana), all done, no no, thank you, bubbles, down, dat (Mickey).
• You've had a double ear infection this week, you were so sad looking because you didn't feel good. I felt so bad for you.
• You LOVE Mickey and freakout when you see him, it's so cute!
• When Curious George ends you say 'uh-oh'

Declan you are getting so big and so independent. You are having more tantrums but I just calm you down and tell you that we don't behave like that or act that way and then I hug you and off you go. You really only have these tantrums when you are super tired.

Declan you are the sun in my darkest days, I love you more than you will ever know.
