Daniel is still growing like a weed. He amazes me every single day and it's been so much fun watching him learn new things. A couple weeks ago he cut his first tooth! Then yesterday his 2nd tooth popped in. He now has one on top and another on the bottom. I'm sure the other front teeth aren't too far behind. He's had awful nights right before they've popped through, so I guess that's how I'll know they're coming!
He still doesn't sleep through the night. It's pretty routine to still be getting up once or twice (usually twice) with him. These last couple of weeks have been nice though because Jacob has been getting back into his routine of waking up at 5:30, which means he's been getting Daniel up in the morning and I've actually gotten to sleep in. Sadly, I only have a couple more days to enjoy that! Jacob goes back to school next week. I've gotta say, it's been nice to have someone watch Daniel while I shower in the morning. Hopefully Daniel will chill out and play nicely in his crib for me now, or I guess I'll be changing my showers to night time.
He still army crawls, but will crawl regularly at times. He won't go far in a regular crawl, before deciding he can go faster the other way. It's pretty darn cute.
He's also learned to pull himself up! Jacob saw it 2 days before I did. He pulled himself up to Daddy twice one day, but sat on the floor and threw a tantrum when I tried to get him to. Now he does it like a pro. Look out world!
Speaking of tantrums. You would think the world has ENDED when I walk away from him lately. He's a momma's boy for sure right now.
Favorite toys right now include: water bottle, Cool Whip container, plastic spoon, plastic cup with straw. Note to self. Wrap up an empty box for Christmas.
Our whole house kind of all loops together. You can get to any room by walking through another, so if we leave doors open he's all over the place. We tried to barricade him into the living room which worked for awhile, until he figured this out:
Now, he escapes and squeals in delight. He normally makes a beeline for the kitchen or his bedroom, to see if we happened to leave the bathroom door open. We're always on his tail. He also goes in his room and closes the door now! Goofball! He knows his mirror is back there and gets SUPER excited when he sees himself.
He loves to talk and jabber. His 3 words are still "Dada, Mama, and Hi." Yesterday Grandpa was over and Daniel kept waving and saying, "HI!!!" Then Grandpa would look up and say "Hi!" and Daniel would act all shy. Ha!
He also loves food! He loves his veggies and he also loves any food he can feed himself. Puffs, crackers, Cheerios, little Gerber cheeto puffs, toast. He digs it all.
On Sunday Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Rachel and Aunt Sarah came to visit. Once he warmed up he had a great time with them!
Being silly with Daddy!
Well, I hear the little munchkin talking in his crib. Guess nap time is over!
Love this boy!
Brag all you want - he is one who I would be bragging about daily. He is growing so fast. He is so smart and clever. You two are so blessed.
