Declan and Swings

Declan really likes going to the park and going on the swings. Arlington is lucky enough to have a great system of little neighborhood parks, most of which have kiddie swings perfect for him. Declan can be quite serious about his play, and gets this intense look while he focuses on swinging. He also loves to watch the other "big kids" (we're talking 18 month olds) walking around and going down the slides.

His favorite thing on the swings is for me to raise my hands in his face when he comes by and say something like "High Five!" or "Zoom Zoom!" every time I push him. Of course, he's not ready for high fives yet, but he apparently likes the concept.

The little guy is getting spoiled as we now often take him out 2 or 3 times a DAY to the parks. Tiff and I never had it this good.
