another trick

Yesterday morning Daniel was crawling around upstairs. He marched straight into the bathroom, pulled up on the bathtub, and turned on the water! He learned to do it when he is in the tub each night and obviously remembered. I was so impressed. Daniel just loves running water.

Friends

Today, Daniel's friends Emma and Christopher came over to play. I wish I had taken some pictures because it was hilarious! Their moms, Alison and Joanne, and I first got together in November when Daniel and Emma were around six weeks old and Christopher was just shy of six months. What a difference ten months makes! The kids were jabbering away at each other - actually, Daniel was yelling his jabber! They took toys from each other, knocked each other over, and had an overall good time. Daniel did get a bit territorial at times, which Alison, bless her heart, says is a sign of intelligence. I think it means he is high strung! He and Emma tug-o-warred over a puffs container, and then he screamed at her when she took it away! So, I got him his own container, and if she even came near it, he yelled! It was my first instance of parent embarassment. Emma took it all in stride.

Have I mentioned our house has become a motor speedway? Daniel is a MACHINE with his push cart. He pushes it all day long. Now, I take him outside so he can push it up and down the sidewalk. It is nice to meet the neighbors and see them out and about. Next door to us is a four month old girl, and next to her are four month old twins, a boy and a girl. Maybe they will be playmates for Daniel in a few months so he learns to socailly interact!!

The Windy City

Daniel has traveled more on a commercial airline in the first ten months of his life than I did by high school. He has flown to Florida twice, Nashville, and most recently, Chicago! Gramps and Gigi met us in Chicago last weekend for a wedding that Scott and I were both in.

He was an ANGEL traveling. We had all kinds of travel drama flying out there on Thursday. We were stuck in the airport for 5 hours and he did not complain once! He waved at passersby and was personable and friendly to the other travelers sitting near us. He smiles and babbles at them.

We are breaking away from baby food because Daniel has NO interest in it anymore. My little man used to pack it away at 8 oz. per meal plus formula, but no more! I guess he will eat what he needs, right?
