Declan is on to snacks! His favorite snacks are Happy Baby Organic Puffs and Baby Mum-Mum Organic Rice Rusks. I love that he can feed himself and he does too! It also seems to be an "activity" that keeps him happy when he is fussy. I just have to watch that we don't overdo it since the snacks are dry and he doesn't drink much water.
Neil and I have noticed Declan getting up on all fours lately. He can't hold it for very long, so he's still crawling military style and hasn't gotten his tummy off the ground while mobile. He also pulls his entire upper body off the floor using just about anything he can reach...windows, drawer handles, crib railing, etc. However, yesterday he surprised us both by pulling himself up on his bouncy chair into an upright position. He tried to get his feet under him to stand, but slipped back down. When he tried again, he got up on his knees. Declan was so proud of himself, he started belly laughing. So, a few minutes later, Neil was in Declan's bedroom, screwdriver in hand, lowering the crib mattress. My back is not happy, but my little man is growing up!
