some pics and an update

Well as you all know Decklan can crawl like a mad man and he can stand pretty much holding onto whatever he wants. not on his own yet, but almost, he tests the waters sometimes by letting go but he falls down. his newest accomplishment has been that he can climb to the top of the stairs all on his own. I discovered this as richard was in the bathroom upstairs one day and decklan was playing on the floor in front of me. he often wanders off and plays with the dvds or is off wrecking something. Well it was suddenly too quiet and so i got up to go see where he was and he was already 3 stairs up. So i let him go. he slowly climbed, not knowing i was there and he finally made it to the top. He has a bad habit of wanting to sit down in the middle though. he thinks that he can just sit back and take a break. Well today he discovered that when you're more than 1 stair up sitting down just isn't an option. he fell. cried, got over it. Also i find him this afternoon sitting in the closet enjoying the delicious taste of my flip flop. Everything goes in the mouth, it's ridiculous, rocks, grass, anything and everything he can get his hands on.

Last time we had him measured he weighed 23lbs 6.5 oz and is 28 3/4 inches long. He's doing good and we're doing good. Both richard and i are playing sports these days, him with his soccer and me with my baseball. It's fun, good to be active again. hope everyone is well.
