Daniel Update

I really should have made myself blog in the last month or so because now I have tons of pictures and stories to share. But first, I want to update on Daniel's accomplishments.

Shortly after his first Birthday Daniel decided that it is fun to walk on his own, but ONLY between Mommy and Daddy. He could do that the whole night!


About a week after he started walking by himself, Daniel started crawling. This kid does everything in his own order. Who said that most kids crawl first and walk later? That is not for Daniel, he makes his own schedule!


I am going a little crazy now. I have a VERY active toddler in my house now! And all I want to do is sleep! He answers to his name only when he feels like it and pretends not to hear me when it suits him. We got to buy a few more baby gates for our apartment next week! And cover some plugs, or I will go bold and gray-haired before my time!!! :) :)

Now is my turn to tell you what a good and compassionate mother I am. :) Since Daniel started walking holding on two or three months ago he has had multiple bumps and small boo-boos. Well, couple of days ago, Stephen, Daniel and I were outside on our apartment's playground and Daniel was climbing up and down the stairs of the play set when I decided that Daniel might enjoy going through a tunnel at the playground. So I put him on all-fours at the opening of the tunnel and started pushing him through the tunnel. And guess what happened? He did not move his arms forward and ended up falling on his face and busting his nose. When Stephen and I saw that blood was running out of his nose we grabbed Daniel and went home. By the time we got home Daniel stopped crying so I, being the good and compassionate mother that I am grabbed my camera and got a picture (or two :) ):

Also, a few days ago I asked Stephen to change Daniel's shirt because Daniel was hot. This is what Daniel looked like:

Oh, and I almost forgot, Daniel got his tooth #6 on 4/16/09.
