DaDa! DaDa!

Daniel said DaDa for the first time Wednesday, August 26th. His Daddy was so proud. Mommy was in disbelief. Danny caught the momentous occasion on camera b/c I just wouldn't believe it. Of course it happened while I was away. Here it is for the world to see; Daddy's boy!

Growth Milestone-6 months

Daniel had his 6 month checkup last week and he is growing up to be such a big boy. He eats fruit, vegetables, and cereal everyday. He loves sweet peas. This milestone is traditionally called "The Social Butterfly" milestone and that he is. Daniel smiles and talks (babbles) all day long. He is sitting up on his own for 3-5 minutes at a time but then he gets tired or reaches for something and that's over.

So the stats from the doctor last week were 26 1/4 inches long and 15 lbs. 12.6 oz.

Happy 1/2 Birthday Daniel!

Daniel celebrated his 6 month birthday with family last weekend. We had lots of fun and he was full of smiles. He managed to get a little bit of icing in his mouth before mommy intervened.

Daniel's First Beach Trip

We decided to take Daniel to the beach for the very first time and our first family vacation the last week of July. We went to Myrtle Beach, SC with our very dear friends and neighbors, the Priest family.

We had such a great time. Daniel was definitely the classic beach baby with his cool shades and hat. He wasn't a big fan of the ocean but he did great on the beach all day. He loves the pool so every afternoon after lunch we spent some time in the pool splashing around. Here are a few pics from the trip.
