month 6
This month my little munchkin:
-Mastered sitting up
-Learned to crawl
-Started pulling up on things, which caused the lowering of the crib mattress and the playpen mattress. Baby-proofing has begun.
-We have now worked up to quite a lot of foods. Likes: peas, zucchini, sweet potatoes, carrots and cereal. Dislikes: Any fruit (including pears, peaches, bananas and avocado).
- We are slowly transitioning to the crib. Slowly.
This month will bring day care three days a week. I think I can, I think I can! I got a promotion at work this month and right after thinking “yay! A promotion!!” I thought “I still wish I could be home with my boy…” As you can tell I am still getting over the fact that I am a working mother. I am blessed to have a wonderful job and the best options available regarding who takes care of my son. And it is those two things that keep me going!
We are beginning to plan a trip back east this fall for Declan’s christening. I am going to have to go back through all of my favorite bloggers tip on traveling with a child. Declan will be about 10 months and being on a plane for 5-6 hours with him in my lap does not sounds all that exciting… Also on my to-do list: find him something to be christened in! Any Catholic moms (or dads!) out there? I am sure we don’t do the white dress on boys thing anymore (or do we?!) but at 10 months old what would you put him in?
Happy half birthday buddy! Now I am off to cover up some more outlets…

I am so proud of you, kids. Children develop as Declan does in a home with a lot of love and attention. It shows all over Declan’s beautiful face. Keep up the good work and Heather, also thank your wonderful mother for being part of the process that has helped bring Decs to this point.
I’m an east coast mom to an almost 7 month old boy, John. We are having him baptized next month and are in the same predicament, what does he wear?? I’ve crossed off those dress-things. They just seem so old-fashioned and, well, girly. One option I found was through Ralph Lauren: http://www.ralphlauren.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11389730&cp=2048081.2047535&ab=ln_baby_cs2_layetteboy%28newborn-9m%29&parentPage=family.
I’d be interested to hear what you end up putting Declan in! I feel like there aren’t a ton of (cute) boy baptism outfit options! Urgh.
As you might know, Cup of Jo has some good travel tips for babies
we had santino christened and i refused the dress! i bought a short/vest/tie from macys. it was pricey (about $75) altogether, but he looked adorable!
hey there!
we had my little boy (almost 5 months now) christened when he was 2 1/2 months old and he wore a christening gown that was in the family… all of my husbands nephews wore it. it was hilariously girly and my husband said he looked like the grandpa in charlie and the chocolate factory… you know in the lacey nightgown? haha. but it was okay because it was a family christening gown and he was so little. if i were you i would make a more masculine christening gown for declan since he’s going to be 10 months when he’s baptized. you’re crafty, you could do it! it’s so expensive to buy the little suits and if you made a simple less frilly christening gown for him it would be more special! just an idea !:)
[...] signified the beginning of a new year at his school. Hard to believe he was just 6 months old when he first started there! Last year his class was filled with toddlers who were all about 6 months older than him, [...]
