Disappeared!

Declan's tooth must have shrunk back down into his gums as it is no longer there. He's teething like mad though. VERY grumpy. Mika shrieked constantly for her first year, so we never really noticed when she was teething.

Declan is into grabbing at anything and shoving it in his mouth. He loves the baby command centre (exersaucer). I thought he might be too small for it yet (wrong) or maybe just not ready for that kind of experience (wrong again). The boy loves his nipple ball, clutch cube, and other teethery type toys.

The guy has also been enjoying solids. He dines on a bowl of organic brown rice cereal each evening for supper. Declan hasn't had any problems learning to eat. Seems to go quite well - most of it gets in him, not on him. There has been no change in his nursing as a result. If anything, I could swear that he is eating more now...
We started him early because he displayed all the signs of wanting to eat + I was a little concerned that his iron stores might be getting low due to his growth rate.

Mika rules, what can I say? She's just an awesome little person. Too much her own little person, really. She's absorbing new words at a mad rate and I'm taking advantage by filling her with as much as possible.

We had a great Saturday out at Hawrelak park for Evan's second birthday.
Mika and Ava are quite the little pair. Evan was crashed throughout a lot of it - smart kid. We were going to head out to the Highland Games on Sunday, but the weather looked crappy. Went to Ikea instead. Oi. Declan has a bed now. A Futon. Mika has the option of trading her crib for it, so we shall see...

Time for mocktails...
