When I'm Up I Can't Get Down

I was praying it would happen before the kids' birthday party and it seems like it has. Declan can now walk across the living room without falling. Sure, he walks like Frankenstein with his arms spread wide for balance, but he is certainly doing it all by himself. He will even stand up and start walking on his own, without our help. Maya just turned 10 months when she started walking (or should I say running) around the house, and Declan is not far behind her at 11 1/2 months. It is so cute to see a human being so little take his first steps. I just want to squeeze him everytime he walks. Soon he will be asking for the keys to the car!

Dad and Michelle sent some money for the kids' birthday so I went out and bought two toddler chairs for Maya and Declan. I wanted something that went with the rest of our decore instead of a bright pink or blue which is so typical of kids' furniture. Also, these are faux-leather so they are easy to wipe clean. Because of the hassel I went through at the store to get them, the manager gave me 30% off too. I am really not one to complain, but this time it worked and I am definitely not complaining about the deal I got now. The kids love them and I am so happy that they now have a chair to call their own.

Nice chairs!! Way to go Declan on walking. My kids never walked before a year, it was good and bad, the bad was that were so heavy and I had to carry them! They are so cute when they are so small and walking, soak it all up!
Is Declan your last? The baby times are behind you now if you are done, he is now entering toddler hood!

Yeah Declan! And nice chairs. I was looking for some leather type ones for Spencer but couldn't find anything that didn't cost a ton of money.

For two chairs, it would have cost $160 but we got them for $112 because of the fuss I had to go through to get them. They are so easy to clean - soap and water. I got them at TARGET but I think Babies-R-Us has something similar. They might have a faux leather couch too.

I was just watching Declan thinking ok, he is gonna just let go any minute and run to the camera. You have to get some video of that!
