What's New!

Lately Daniel has been such a good boy. He tries to clean up as best he can. Sometimes it takes me by suprise when he is putting his stuff away or when he takes the trash after I have gone through the mail and puts it in the trash.

He loves to go out with mommy to get the mail. He knows what key makes the mailbox open. He has to go out with me every day to get the mail. On the same note he loves keys, especially the mini-van key. The problem is that he keeps touching all the buttons and opens all the doors and back hatch. So he is no longer allowed to hold this key.

He now also loves to feed the dog. He will put the dogs dry food in the bowl. Once I have mixed the moist food with it he will carry it outside to feed the dog. It is so cute.

Daniel loves to be outside. He is always going out, out. Sometimes he has to understand that he can not always go out. Usually he will have a one minute tantrum and then if you get his attention to something else he will forget about it.

He is such a helper. He loves to help vacumm, sweep, mop, and clean the windows. He is my little helper.

His new trick is to climb up the shelves in the all closet to get into the cleaning products. We have moved them to the closet to keep them away from Daniel, but now he has figured out that if he pulls down the towels and makes a mound he can easily crawl up the shelves to what he wants.

Pumpkin Patch!!

We went to the pumpkin patch this past Saturday. Daniel had a great time running around and looking at everything. His favorite thing was to pick up rocks from the gravel. He would give me a couple and then want me to hold them for him. Here are some pictures.

Here is a picture of him sitting in a chair carved out of a old tree.

He loved sitting on this tractor. He loves to pretend he is driving a car and loves to try to jump in the front seat of the mini-van if he can.
Here he was sitting with a bunch of pumpkins. I was kind of disappointed that they did not have any big pumpkins. He loved that he could pick out what pumpkins he wanted.
He was so happy to be allowed to pick up a pumpkin. He was carrying it so proudly, well until it got to heavy for him to carry.
Here is a picture of him picking up a leaf, holding on to another pumpkin that he wanted.

18 Month Pooh Picture!!

It has been 6 months since I have taken Daniel's picture with Pooh. Here is Daniel's picture with Pooh at 18 months. He looks so grown up.

I am amazed at how much he has grown compared to this 12 month picture with Pooh.
And he has grown so much from his one month Pooh picture. It is amazing to see the change.

Trip to Florida!!

We went down to Florida to suprise Dave's father for his 60th bithday. We had a great time. Here are some pictures:

Here is a picture of me and Daniel lounging in the pool. He was getting tired at this point.

Here is a picture of Daniel in the little desk they have at there house. He loved climbing in it.

Here he is in the pool with his grandpa. Daniel loves the pool so much, that when we first got there he saw the pool and just kept saying out, out, because he wanted to go into the pool.
Here he is in his raft. He is definitely a water baby.
Another picture in the pool.
Here is one of him climbing out of the pool. He has so much fun climbing up and down the steps of the pool and then throwing the rafts back into the pool after you put them out.
Here is three generations of the men. Dave and Daniel helping grandpa blow out his candles.

18 month appointment

I took Daniel for his 18 month appointment on October 2nd. I put him on the table to get weighed and he just started screaming and screaming and did not finish until I picked him up when they were done measuring him. He weighs 21lbs and is 32 inches tall. So he still is my little peanut. His weight dropped from the 5th percentile to the 3rd, but he is growning fine and meeting all his milestones, so no need to worry. He is doing great.
