I'm 11 months old!

11 months old! We just can't believe it...next month we'll be celebrating his 1st birthday (I really hope this month goes by slowly because I'm just not ready for him to be 1 yet)! Some of Declan's favorite things to do right now are to pull down all of my towels in the kitchen, empty out dad's sock drawer and look out the window. He spends so much time watching what's going on outside, it's so cute to sit back and watch. He's starting to try to stand and balance on his own, but hasn't taken any steps yet. He loves it when dad gets home from work...he crawls at top speed to see him:) And he's finally sleeping more! He's only getting up once (sometimes twice) a night to eat, which is wonderful. He's been spending quite a bit of time in the pool and is getting ready for swimming lessons next month. He's weighing in at 23 lbs, which is kind of surprising for as much as he moves around. He enjoys our daily walks and is still such a happy guy:) It was tough getting these pics, even with dad's help!
