Is waiting for a year!

Everyone tells me EVERYTHING gets better at a year...
Not that it is bad, but they tell me their bodies get so much stronger that things are easier for me when they reach that mark! So less than a month and I expect Daniel to be perfect!
Wait, he is perfect! In all his imperfectness - he is perfect.
He had a lil virus this week! It was a lil scary his temp got pretty high, but it went down so quick that I wasn't too alarmed. But, the temp continued for over 24 hours, so off to the dr we went.... All I can say is I LOVE Daniel's pediatrician!!!! She is great. His temp was down by the time we got there, but he did have some wheezing, so we got a breathing treatment. His lungs cleared up a lot, so off to the pharmacy for inhaler and steroid for him. And now he is doin much better.
But ,through all of it, he was in good spirits for the most part. But, I also have learned the tricks to making him happy, or content.
Get in the car and drive, with his window down. That wind on his face calms him down, just as it does his mommy! And this beautiful weather has been perfect!
We have gotten his pics done, and I can't wait until I can share them with everyone! We had so much fun! We went to the park and took lots of pics!
We are anxiously preparing for Daniel's 1st Birthday party! Got all the decorations, and have started shopping for the food. Getting the addresses ready for invitations, and can't wait to see everybody.
O, so Daniel LOVES crawling on his belly! But, he recently has started taking a few more crawls on his knee's and today, he actually crawled on his knee's all the way from the couch to the tv!
I hope it continues, cause he is too old to be on his belly.
So we look forward to the growing and the walking soon to come. I can tell he is ready, but just a lil wably on his feet. So soon to come.

resiliant kids

Well after a scare this morning, Daniel had a very high temp. So I stepped in and started the tylenol and motrin along with a cool bath. With in an hour the temp had started to drop, and in the next few hours it had dropped back to normal range.
And now, Daniel is trying to do laundry... Well pulling all of the clothes and blankets out from the hamper. He laughs very loud every time he pulls another piece out. He also crawled to the bathroom and pulled up to the bath tub. This boy loves his bath time!
He ate like a champ today, he just hate half a frozen (cooked) chicken patty, and some french style cut string beans.
So now off to keep an eye on the boy, and pray he sleeps through the night!

Too Much For One!

Daniel is beyond a handful! And, yes way too much for one!
He has been fussy, but he has been working for some chompers.
Apparently, 2 weren't enough at one time. So those 2 on top have made this beautiful baby show more frowns than giggles...

So, as we stay away all night, and have become the cheif financial supporter for Orajel, and teething tablets. I regret to inform my REM sleep, but it has not reached it's peak in, well before teeth.


But, glad he is getting those chic-lets, so that I can soon stop buying baby food all together! One more price saver. - could use that!

And then outside we go...




Over the last few weeks we have had several adventures, and even went to the park for first time few weeks ago, and had so much fun. It will defintely be a frequent stop for us!

He is getting so independent these days, or at least trying, until he falls on his behind.
But, I will give him credit he is getting good at dusting off the falls.
