It's hard to believe Declan will be 8 months on Thursday. That also means it's time for my always-late monthly post. So let's just pretend Declan is still 7 months for a moment....
What a cutie right? He started sitting for a little on his own if you can get his legs situations just right. He's really not a big fan of tummy time so we're starting to think he may just pass on the whole crawling thing. He's eating 3 meals a day pretty regularly. He chows down on kale, spinach and sweet potatoes but could do without the broccoli. We originally started out with baby-led weaning but there was just too much anxiety on my part. He only ever really gagged but I found myself literally holding my breath the whole time he was experimenting with the food.
He also loves reading by the fire during the snow storms this year. He's a talkative little guys and makes all types of noises. Mike and I are already battling it out to steer him towards "mama" and "dada" respectively. But we're pretty sure Garrett and the dogs rank among his favorite things so I have no doubt they might beat us in the "first words" department as well.
