Declan Turns One!

Declan turned One last Friday. We didn't have a party for him, as his entire life is a party right now. We did go to two other parties over the weekend (Saturday for a girl down the street who turned 4 and Sunday for a friend of Tiff's whose son turned One on Monday). So he wasn't lacking.

He loves the warm weather and gets out to play multiple times a day. My routine during the week is to have Tiff come out to the bike path with him to meet me. We all walk home together, I change at home, and take Declan out to play, with hopes of tiring him out before bedtime.

More on walking

Declan has actually taken a few steps on his own, but we aren't calling it walking just yet. He doesn't get a good start and he gets too excited before trying and ends up stumbling. But he's close.

Meanwhile this week he's off to Music Camp with Tiff (she's the director) 3 days a week. The other two days he's at our babysitter Anju's house. We were worried about him, but he has done fine. Either napped at the camp, or enjoyed playing with people. He often acts as if the entire world is here to see and serve him. Which it is to a great extent.
