Declan is growing up fast and refining those motor skills. Meanwhile Aidan keeps coming out with the zingers.

Since about 2 weeks ago when Declan started using his hands much more his motor skills have begun accelerating at an amazing rate. Today he sat up in the stroller all by himself as we travelled back from the dining hall. His sense of balance is improving as well as his muscle strength.

For example if he sits up on the bed he can hold his balance for almost a minute before tipping over on his belly. He's getting really close to sitting up on his own. Also, he is becoming quite the chatterbox. He loves to look at you and make long "aaaahhhhooooohhhhh" sounds as if he is telling you some very important information. All the while looking very cute.

Aidan remarked the other day when looking at the new slipcovers for our sofas, "The sofas are handsome." Not sure where he is learning these words and how to properly apply them, but I am amazed when he uses them.
