So Aware

For the first 2-3 months, babies are pretty much blobs that eat, sleep and poop. But starting around 3-4 months, they start becoming aware of the world. Declan (now 5 months old) now wants to see and know about EVERYTHING going on around him.

He doesn't want to know what's going on, as much as he wants to know WHAT ELSE is going on. Doctor at his last check-up said he wasn't happy. Because he was tired of being a baby. He wants to do stuff so badly. Play, walk, eat real good, go outside.

Down in Florida, his head was spinning at all the stuff going on. Checking out people on the beach, sea birds flying, the waves, the sunset.

We see him eyeing everything, and probably thinking...."Man, I really want to do THAT!".

Today he really wanted some of Tiff's soup. He even made chewing motions as he watched her. BTW, he has no teeth yet and is still doing 100% breast milk. But maybe it's time to introduce more foods.
