Can I walk the dog just sitting here??

I guess you can if it is a plastic one....thank goodness it is plastic and doesn't need to be taken outside for potty breaks!

Who needs toys

Sometimes I wonder why we even buy kids toys. Daniel's favorite things are his cardboard box (for hiding), empty formula tins (for drums) and empty papertowel rolls (for a trumpet). I think the toys are mostly for us, since the empty cardboard box we grew out of!

Daniel's first birthday party

Friend of ours from Peru that live here in Doha were having a birthday party for their daughter. Daniel had just started walking a week or so before that so he thought it was great fun. Here he is dancing on the dance floor to "High School Musical", the birthday girls favorite movie. I am sure he will hate the fact that he was dancing to that music!

Daniel's first bubble bath

Daniel's crazy hair before the brushing.....and then after.

I used dishsoap for Daniel's first bubble bath and wow, does that ever make bubbles. It was funny because he couldn't feel the bubbles on his head, so he just carried on doing his thing. He sure thought they were pretty neat though, and tasty! After his bath and he is all dressed I let him brush his hair. I was so surprised the one day when he grabbed the brush and started brushing his own hair, it is so amazing how they pick up on everything.

Reading a bedtime story with Daddy

It is so great when Dan is home and can do storytime. He is great with Daniel reading him his bedtime stories. I love to watch them together it is so sweet. Oh and funny too....Daniel gets a kick out of the funniest things. I think right now his favorite book with Daddy is about the dogs....he laughs at Dan making all the different dog barks. His favorite pictures in his spanish/english book are the ball, the kitty, and the milk.

Daniel's first masterpiece

At 10 months old I figured that Daniel might be old enough to enjoy some fingerpainting. He did have fun, but let's just say, it took longer to set up and clean up then his attention span lasted for the painting part. It was fun though and I have his paintings hanging on the wall!

Come and find me...

Caught redhanded touching the TV.
Here I go to hide....
Mommy, where am I???

Daniel likes to hide in the curtains and wait for me to call for him. Well usually he comes out before I call just to make sure I am playing the game with him. Maybe I should have washed his face before taking these pictures!
