Firsts

Declan had his first real taste of bbq'd steak tonight. He loved it. All that teething paid off, I guess...
The boyo is chatting up a storm and a few words can actually be understood. Everyday he masters speaking new words. Word of the day today: cup! yay. Much better than his previous grunt/whine combo. He's at the stage where he understands much more than he can he can communicate and gets easily frustrated.

Mika is currently enjoying firsts as well - she's camped out on the living room floor watching Enchanted. We've never let Mika stay up late or camp out on the living room floor. Nor has she ever watched a full length movie in one sitting. Or a full length movie that wasn't fully animated. I figured she would be asleep by now - but she's wide awake and riveted. She hasn't made a sound since the movie started - I think this is the longest she's been simultaneously awake and quiet.
