The Adventures of Little D

I think I'm getting the hang of this digital video stuff. This is Daniel on his little adventure. Enjoy!

A Dose of Danny

Mama

Daniel is accomplishing so much so fast it is getting hard to keep up with him...and his baby memory books too. Just this week he learned to crawl and pull himself up using the coffee table. He will crawl over to me or Aaron tug at our feet and look up at us with a cute little smile, almost saying "look what I can do!"

I went to work today, always fearing that day when Daniel realizes I'm leaving. (I must remind myself that he does have daddy which is almost as good as mommy.) ;)
And wouldn't you know it, while I was gone he goes and says mama for the first time. Aaron told me that Daniel had fallen over for the billionth time that day. When he went over to comfort the little mover Danny said "mama".

He has yet to repeat this but I am really pleased. We had a friendly bet going as to which would be his first word "mama" or "dada". I win!! Of course I do think that Danny doesn't yet know the difference and he thinks Aaron is mama. Or we are both mama.

He's Going Mobile

I didn't have time to edit it. Or in other words I'm just too excited to post my first video. I know if I start playing around with editing, It won't be done until Daniel is off to college. A couple of warnings. 6 minutes maybe a long time to watch MY kid. But he is pretty cute. He doesn't crawl for very long here. And near the end he gets into a sitation that looks like it could end badly...it does turn out okay. Enjoy!

Wow

A lot has been going on lately. After 18 years of deliberating and making sure I really wanted it, I got tattooed. It wasn't as painful as I thought it would be. In fact I almost fell asleep while the artist was working on me. I am very pleased with the results.

Stinger Tattoo
That is the link to Stinger Tattoo in case anyone is interested. Boris worked on mine.

And then Aaron enjoyed his first Father's Day. We enjoyed a laid back day as a family. All was well.


And now a couple days shy of Daniel's 8th month and after slithering around like a really cute worm he finally crawled more than a few paces this morning. Right after the cat. I was very happy, but the cat wasn't.


I am hoping to get some of Daniel's crawling on video today...hopefully I can figure out how to post it here...

Busy, busy, busy

Just trying to keep up with a very active seven month old. He's not crawling yet, though he's almost got the hang of it. Taking that into consideration we are really gonna have our hands full when he can. He already seems to be into everything. He rolls (scootches and I do believe teleports) faster than I can blink.

Sometimes we find a few minutes to relax and make new discoveries...like grass.




I am very surprised he didn't try to eat any. He did find it quite interesting.
