Daniel is keeping very busy these days. He loves to crawl around the kitchen and look outside the back door window and has gotten really good at waving hi and bye bye to everyone, including Buddy. He is fearless; pulling up to stand on the couch, coffee table, gate, mommy's legs... just about everything and reach away... you can see the wheels turning. He likes to bounce to music and clap with mommy and daddy when we cheer him on.

We FINALLY moved Daniel to his room for sleeping at night. As much as I loved being able to look over at him sleeping at night, after a few nights of Daniel waking up almost every hour and Dan and I taking turns rocking him back to sleep, we realized that it was probably time for him to be in his room and surprise, surprise we ALL slept better. Daniel is still not much of a napper, but he is getting better for everyone, except mommy. We did have to let him "cry it out" a little. I felt really bad about until I realize he was really playing us for fools! Not only did he not have any tears when I would pick him up, but I would watch him on the monitor scream one minute and the next minute find his binky and pop it right in and lie his head down!

Some fun we were having getting Daniel used to his crib |

Grrrrrrr! Daniel has been growling lately when he's playing
or when he gets mad, like if I try to take him out of the bath too soon! |

We had the Heddens over for dinner this weekend and Matthew
and Daniel were playing so nicely and started posing for pics! |
