While Ive been terribly sick tonight, Dennis took Daniel to dinner and brought me back a funny get well card. Thankful for the two men in my life.

a (late) 13 month post

To keep this brief, I will just give the highlights!

Daniel says:

“haaaayyyyyy daaaaaaaaa”

“dog” perfect as could be, but only twice we have heard.

“hah!”

8 teeth!

he is not walking yet.

He loves daddy.

He loves mommy.

He DESPISES to be changed.

he is a lot of fun. He is whinier than I would like.

He is picky about what he eats.

Does not like green beans. likes chicken nuggets. a lot.

 

He is typically nursing still twice a day. One in the morning, one before bed at night.

Still taking two naps.

Goes down and sleeps well with rarely a problem.

We have a healthy boy.

he plays peek-a-boo

he holds his hand out to say “hello”

not a fan of new places. Needs to be held for a bit before being let down.

this was the month for his very first snow!!!

He doesn’t give a normal clap- but his own version. It’s still a clasped hand movement.

He doesn’t really like to wave hello and goodbye, although he will if he wants to.

He is being “watched” for possible being behind in his gross motor skills. I will get him help if he needs it, but am pretty much TRYING to take it with a grain of salt at this point!

6:45 p.m.

 

Now, that is what I am talking about! Lovely snowy day!

It’s official: We are cruel parents to make our 1 year old sit in snow with no shoes, hat, or coat.

He’ll live.

12:50 p.m.

 

slowin’ down for now. Still hoping for waaayyy more than this! :-)

I am working on a post regarding Daniel’s 13 month. I am thinking it will be less detailed than the first 12, so come back later on this evening!

11:22 a.m.

 

The beginning of our first snow.

Expected to be 2-4 inches. I am hoping for triple, but realistically expect to see about half.

Blast from the cell phone..

I have found that when I really want to take a picture of something, my massive 10 pound camera is no where in arms reach, but, luckily, I tend to have my cell phone with me. . So, going backwards in time.. you will see how loyal my phone has been in weird times… this past year.

9 month visit

I gotta say, the picture above is one of my favorite pictures…

The above picture brings back a grumpy attitude I had at the moment. Daniel had been with us for less than a week, I had not been sleeping, and Dennis comes home from work… and guess what? They both were sleeping… and I was mad. :) fun memories, huh?

It is SOOO difficult for me to remember him this way. I titled this to Dennis: “Our little milk drunk” because this was his restful look after he had just had a meal.

I THINK I was encouraging him to scoot to his toys??

when I sent (the above) picture to Dennis, it was captioned: “It’s been one of those type of days”

in this photo he was only a couple of days old…

Well, there is my yearly dose of bad cell phone pictures!
