Two front teeth

2 teeth have made a grand appearance just in time for the holidays. After a long night, Monday, November 23rd, Daniel's 2 bottom teeth appeared.

9 months old

Daniel's 9 month visit to the doctor was exciting. He is in the 50th percentile for height and head size. Daniel is a small kid like his parents were[You wouldn't guess that by looking at us now! :)]. He is in the 25th percentile for weight but is so healthy and active. He is growing so fast and has become quite the wiggle worm. He has officially decided that he hates powder formula so we have switched him to ready-to-feed. He definitely has a mind of his own. We have lowered the mattress b/c he is already pulling up to stand and trying to find out how to get out of the crib. The military crawl is in full force and he is all over the place. Watch out Jackie and Kennedy!

Happy Halloween!

This was Daniel's first Halloween and he had a blast. First it was a nice visit with family and then it was off through the neighborhood with his pal Brody for some tricks or treats.

Meeting my new friend Nolan

Congrats to Jason and Michelle Shaw on the birth of their baby boy and Daniel's new buddy. Can you believe that the legacy of Danny and Jason will continue?

First company lake party

Daniel had his first experience at the Sunrise company lake party in August. Here are a few pictures from the event. As you will see, my little man has a Microsoft Dynamics shirt on. He loves to support mom. :)

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.
