how to eat with a spoon

He figured it out.

decorating the christmas tree

One week later, David was done with school, and we got to decorate our pretty new tree together.

Hayride!






Picking out our tree:



Normally we play on all their fun equipment after getting our tree--they have a giant slide and a two-story treehouse, among other toys--but it was super cold and none of us had dressed warmly enough. So we just got the tree and went home to eat lasagna.

day at the park

This was in late November, I think. We walked down to the park with the stroller on a very cold day. I took a nice long video of him playing, but it's too big to upload (grr), so here's the short one of when he went down the slide.

Some new Daniel photos are on Flickr.

Our good friends just had their first baby, a precious little girl named Penelope. I'm re-posting this from Facebook so David can see.

For all you Daniel fans, I'll have new pictures in a bit.

I couldn't leave this one off! Daniel and the peekaboo crawl.

video: meeting the lion

Mom and Dad sent Daniel a huge stuffed lion as a feel-better-from-surgery present. This is when he met it for the first time.

This is also the last post for today. Have a lovely evening. =)

This is Daniel's new favorite game, on the night he invented it. Fortunately he has the sense not to do this on the floor. =)
