TEETHING????

Declan will be 2 months old on Monday! Yay!! He has been cranky in the evenings lately and one day he put my finger in his mouth and started chewing with his gums! Could he possibly be teething already? He just got here! Woah Nelly!! Other developments are he grabs my bra now. He can also drum his fingers and he smiles a lot more. He is making new sounds now and I can tell which mean what now mostly. He has the sweetest temperment! We went to brunch at Bob's big boy in Toluca Lake today which was fun! I fed him bofore we went and he slept the whole time! Funny enough, our waitress had just had a baby and he was two months as well! I just thank my lucky stars I have a husband supportive enough to understand the importance of me staying at home with Declan. I couldn't imagine leaving him now! Going back to work as a waitress so soon after giving birth would be agonizing! My knees and joints still hurt, and I would miss him so I would hurt emotionally as well. God bless our waitress and her child. What a strong woman! We went to this really amazing resale place for babies called "once and again." It is owned by the parents of a friend of Patrick's. They are so cool! We got a bunch of "baby einstein" development toys I had on our baby shower list. She gave us a "Brown bear brown bear what do you see" by Eric Carle touch and read block and the accompanying book as a gift. Declan pooped while we were there, and he pooped so much he had "back poop" which is poop so vast it fills the diaper and goes up the baby's back and spills out of their diaper thereby ruining is onesie. It is very important in babyland to have extra onesies and whole outfits on hand! When Declan has mucous , we say he has "trucks" up his nose. One day he was snorting and carrying on and I said it sounded like he had trucks up his nose. It stuck so mucous and boogers are now referred to as "trucks" Patrick love this so much that he got Declan a great book about various trucks toay! It is very colorful. Tonight was very special for Patrick and Declan because Declan slept on his chest for the first time in a while. Then later, Patrick read to him from a story book he picked out for him while we were on the island of Kauai. It was such an amazing story and he chose to read it to him on his own. His Hawaiian pronunciation was perfect! I so wish to go back and live there! We were so happy...
