Declan is 7 months old!
He is sitting up all on his own, but can't quite pull himself into a sitting position. He pulls, pivots, and rolls himself where he wants to go. I can foresee him crawling very soon though. He is pushing himself into the push up position and getting onto his knees. Next step is rocking and then crawling!
There are so many similarities to his big brother, but such distinct differences. Silas has fairer hair, but Declan has fairer skin. They have adorable chubby cheeks and sweet smiles.
Declan's seventh month was pretty busy. We said good bye to our beloved associate rector, Licia, as she left to head her own church in Georgia. Declan learned how to sit up unassisted, so he now sits in the stroller like a big boy. He also had his first taste of real food. Right now he is a huge fan of carrots and peas. I hope this sticks with him. It's so hard to get his big brother to eat anything besides chicken.
Although Declan doesn't want his big brother to steal his lime light, I can't help but brag about Silas. He may not pose for many pictures these days, but every once in a while I get a good picture of him. We have been working very hard on potty training with him. It's been a trial of frustration and errors, but he's 90% got it. We just need to bridge the gap. We hope he'll be 100% by July because we enrolled him in preschool. That gives us about 3 months to get him ready to go!
We took a trip up to Greer this month, so I'll try to get those pictures up soon!
