I'm Gonna Get You!

I will get you! (Through the glass door!)

I went outside to photograph Ethan's Snowman and Daniel stood at the front door and screeched for me to come back! He really wanted to get out while I was trying to take his picture through the glass!

Fourteen Months

Fourteen Months

Daniel is so fun! The other night Walter and I looked in on him and he was suckling one binky while holding another as close to his mouth as he could!

Tonight we danced all crazy-like in the living room and he LOVED it. It was the first time he could really participate on his own volition. He could do his own thing because he can walk now!

Daniel talks like a pro these days too. He says, "Oboyaboyaboya da mmm yep!" He says, "Ma" for MORE and, "No, NO, NOOOO!" to the dog when she has been crated for some bad deed.

After putting on any shoe(s) he could find around the house and trying to walk in it/them, we got him a pair of sneakers and he really likes them. They (and Emma) have really helped/inspired him to walk a lot more in a really short time period! I think the talking has changed too because of Emma.

Fat Lip and All

Daniel can walk. Since I started keeping Emma, who is almost three, he has begun to babble in "wordy" sentences that become paragraphs and he takes five, six, seven... steps at a time. Tonight he fell in the kitchen; he hit his upper lip first. It puffed up and it was bleeding and though he cried for a bit, he was not afraid to take off again!

When he gets sleepy he gets wild, he screams and lunges instead of stepping, he shakes his head and smacks his hair. He loves to do all of that. If he ends up in my lap, he kisses and pats me - it's dangerous love because he can be aggressive and hurts me sometimes!

I sure do love that joyous, delightful, wild little boy, fat lip and all!
