Walk this way....talk this way...

I'm not ready for Declan to be walking quite yet but he doesn't care. He's taking 3-5 wobbly steps and face planting all day long. He's Mr. Fearless but so far so good. I'm told I only have weeks until he's full on walking everywhere. Better go- need to do more childproofing. :)

Wordless Wednesday

ER

Saturday was intended to be packed full of getting the house ready to sell. I went to put Decs down for a nap and did a quick diaper change. I was reaching for some shorts (holding on to his leg) and he flipped off the changing table and fell face forward on to the hard wood floor. He cried so hard and had blood coming out of his nose. We headed to the ER and spent the next couple of hours checking him out. It was a scary experience but, fortunately, he's fine. 

My mom guilt meter was ranking pretty high but I know accidents do happen. It was a hard lesson to learn, but my little man will no longer be changed on a changing table. We did a little rearranging and here's our new set up:

It was about that time...

We hadn't ever gotten any family pictures! Yikes...can't believe we waited so long. Anywho, here's a link to our photographer's blog of our new family pics!

Mark. Ashley. Declan. 2009

10 months old!!

Declan is...

-so full of personality...every day he has a cute new quirk.

-recently very fond of bath time. This means mom is soaked at the end but it's worth it.

-still sleeping through the night 8:30-7:30 (except last week when a cold + 3rd bottom tooth interrupted everything).

-a picky eater. We're working on it but his main favorites are pureed fruits, waffles, toast and puffs. On occasion, he'll eat pulled pork or small pieces of chicken. He hates tofu.

-on the verge of walking! He likes to climb, cruise, fall then cry. Repeat.

-enjoying overnight stays at Nana & Papa's (2 this month)! We like them too. :)

-A D O R A B L E

Geesh- seems I need to start planning a FIRST birthday party. Craziness.

Wordless Wednesday

It's H-O-T !!!!

We are roasting here in Nebraska. Today was seriously the hottest day I can remember in a long time. The humidity is outrageous and made the heat index over 110 degrees today. So, what is there to do for survival??

Declan drinking water off the ground- adorable. 

Instead of stopping him, I ran and got my camera. :)
