Crawling Backwards..

Little Declan has been crawling backwards the last couple of days. He will get on his knees and bounce and then scoot backwards. He has figured out that by moving his arms and hands sideways he can turn to different objects that he wants to play with or put in his mouth. He likes the mat that came with the play yard he got from Fischer-Price. They recalled it thankfully before anything happened to my precious baby, but we kept the animals from the mobile and the gymnastic like mat so he can exercise on it. He is getting so strong! I am very happy I am still breastfeeding him..you really can tell it makes a difference. He is now giving us voluntary baby kisses and showing his likes and dislikes clearer now. Last night at 4:30 baby started to make noise so I went to see about him. He was very wet! I had to change his clothes and diaper and Daddy came to help. Patrick is so sweet and kind and considerate with me and the baby. He got me a glass of water afterwards because he knows I get thirsty after I nurse. Little baby went back to sleep and didn't wake up again until 7:30...right before Daddy's alarm goes off! It is fun to listen to him play on the monitor for a little while while we lay in bed. It makes me so happy that that is the first thing I hear in the morning!
