Daniel Update


I feel that I have strayed from my original purpose of creating this blog. The reason I began this blog was to record what is going on with Daniel in real time so that I do not forget. So, here's a list of Daniel memories for the recent week.

  • Squeals - high pitched!
  • Starting to blow raspberries with his tongue and will mimic Scott doing it.
  • Consistently rolling to the right from stomach to back
  • Grabbing for everything! He tipped over my cereal bowl this morning. Likes the sound of paper and plastic bags when he grabs them.
  • Will play with just about anything and put it in his mouth.
  • Right eye still "gooey" from his blocked tear duct and we have no idea what to do about it. The ointment seems to irritate the skin around it. He tears sometimes leave red, temporary, stains on his cheeks.
  • Dirty diapers average one per day, usually before noon.
  • Sleeping well! Is ready for bed about 7 these days - will melt down if you do not give him the bottle quick enough. Sleeps until 4-5 a.m. and then just needs the pacifier. He's been waking up between 6:30 and 7:30 a.m.
  • Will put himself to sleep! Lay him down, give him his pacifier and blankie (which he proceeds to pull up over his face) and he is out in just a few minutes.
  • Loves having his clothes off! (see pic) Is not happy getting dressed!
  • Can sit up with little support. Loves to stand and look around. Daniel is starting to squat and lean to reach the things he wants to pick up.
  • Is not so in to the cereal. Makes funny faces when we feed him and manages to end up with most of it on his clothes and face.
  • Smiles at just about anyone and laughs so hard he gives himself the hiccups!
  • SWEET BABY

I think he gets the putting himself to sleep thing from you. I have always wondered how you get a clogged tear duct. It baffles me b/c it's purpose is to get tears out, not keep them in. Strange. He is so cute. I am glad you put up a new picture of him :)
