Daniel in his office...hard at work!

We bought this toy for Daniel that he can use for tummy time and on his back. He is so funny when he plays....when he is on his back he uses his feet and smiles a lot....on his tummy, it is all business. It is almost like his own little cockpit or something...so intent pushing the buttons.

As a mom you'll do anything to get them to eat.

Daniel went through a stage where he wasn't too thrilled about eating, especially if it was going to take too much time from his playtime. (it is still like that...) So because as a mom you are so consumed with them eating, you have to be very creative to come up with ways to get them to eat or at least distract them long enough to eat without realizing it! So I put up a mirror in the couch and he would eat as long as he could look at himself. So funny....well that only lasted a day or two and then I had to come up with another strategy, but it was sure cute to see him really enjoy looking at himself in the mirror. You have to wonder what they are thinking when they look at themselves.....

The Corniche~Doha, Qatar

One night we went for a walk on the Corniche....a walkway along the water of the Arabian Gulf (Persian Gulf). What a beautiful night it was and what a great sleep we all had after the fresh air!

Some Mommy Moments...

From eating together after church, reading together before bed, or just goofing around.....these moments are great memories.

The many faces of Danielito...

What a little nut.......

Learing to take some steps with Daddy!

They grow up so fast yet we seem to be trying to get them to grow up even faster....and when they do...we can't seem to slow them down.

Before and After

I knew Daniel was tired and a bit grumpy, but didn't expect the big tears!! Good thing Dan had the camera ready....now we have proof that he does cry now and then. Some of the moms in my playgroup hadn't heard him cry or fuss in 2 months!

Getting ready for bed.

Here is Daniel with Daddy, getting ready for bed. And then the peaceful sleep....too bad it is short lived....

Bath Time AGAIN???

Bath time is just getting more and more fun. And his bum is just getting cuter and cuter!!!! And the towel, yummier and yummier!

Look at me!

Daniel was just starting to learn how to reach out and pick up things. I was so proud of him when he picked up his keys and waved them in the air.

Dan came back from a flight and had found this bib during his travels. I think Daniel is proud of being on the outside now!Dan came back from a flight and had found this bib during his travels. I think Daniel is proud of being on the outside now!

Nap time? What is that?

Daniel was supposed to be having a nap while I got ready for church. Well, he didn't like the idea, so he was bundled and suggled on my bed watching me.

The little pilot....

Craig and Jaelynne bought Daniel this little "Top Gun" aviator sunglasses and Jake and Elisa bought him the pilot hat. He still has to grow a bit more to fit into them, but he was hilarious and it was nice that he was too young to grab the glasses off his face.

Daniel and Taylor

Daniel has a little girlfirend, Taylor. We were at the park one night for a little picnic and they looked so cute holding hands together!!! Daniel looks a little intimidated because Talor is bigger and older that him. But nothing wrong with an older women, right Dan???

Sorry Daniel...

Daniel was sitting in his Bumbo one day and I was playing Peek-a-boo with him with this little blanket and whale on top. So I threw it up over his head and thought he looked pretty cute.
