"Walking"

Declan uses his high chair to "walk" and his walker he got for Christmas.  He's ready to take off!

I thought Declan would skip crawling (with his belly off the ground) and go straight to walking. But, more and more, he is crawling on all fours (better late than never). He will also pull himself up on just about anything and, unfortunately, has started using his highchair as a walker. I see many bumps and bruises in our future!

Our family signed up at the YMCA and I'm taking the little guy to infant swim lessons. He loves to splash and bob in the water and chase floating toys. We are both enjoying the kiddie pool. Showering and changing afterwards is still a challenge I have not mastered with a wet, squirmy baby.  I saw one guy go into the family showers with his stroller...maybe I will try that (it doesn't get wet).

Now that the holidays are over, we are getting back into our routines.  We love the library and Kindermusik.  I also just joined another mommy group.  Busy little bees! My house is a bit of a wreck, but my son seems happy with life. :D
