Wearing my Daddy's clothes...

Dan's mom saved a little outfit that Dan wore as a baby. So we thought we would try it out for a great memory and keepsake. Doesn't Daniel look proud looking just like his Daddy??

Ok so at 29 weeks I had an ultrsound at the hospital in Doha....then when we got back here, the pediatrician wanted to do an ulrsound of Daniel to check on his kidneys. It was kinda neat to have him lay in the same bed I was before he was born and even had the same radiologist do the ultrasound. He was a real trooper that day too....Ultrasound, Dr. appointment and vaccinations all in one day. We were at the hospital for 3 hours!!!

What should I be when I grow up???

Should I become a cowboy....??? Or should I become a pilot????
Maybe I'll just lay down and think about it for a while...

Cutest BUM in the WORLD!!!

I know that Daniel is my son and mother's are a bit biased on their children,

but I have to say that I think that Daniel is the cutest little boy on the earth.....

Our Family ~ September 4, 2007

Look at me...6 weeks old!!!

Look what Daniel can do at 6 weeks old!!!! We are so proud of our little boy who is so strong and cheerful. Dan was convinced that Daniel would be doing push ups before too long!!!

Getting ready for bed and waking up

Daniel and I were posing in our matching pjs that Grandma bought us. Then Daddy was taking a nap on the couch and Daniel decided it looked pretty comfy and he would join Daddy. Isn't it nice to have snuggle time first thing in the morning when you get up? Dan sure thinks so! Though it is nicer to snuggle than to be the one to have to get out of bed to get up the snuggler who is crying!!!!

In his Big bed...

Here are a few shots of Daniel in his crib. He is such a great boy for going to sleep on his own. It took some time and some creative steps to figure it out. Daddy thought it was a good idea to cover his eyes with the blanket, as our hands and arms would get tired.....but I think Daniel thought it was just a joke. He does love to be swaddled still, though by most mornings he does managed to get at least one arm out of the straightjacket!!! :)

Me and my Blog

Here I am with Daniel, trying to check my email and update my blog. How times change and how fast they grow up. First it was Daniel just laying there and now he is interested in everything and loves to look at the computer.....oh no, do we have another Dan on our hands??? Keep that Flight Simulator away from him!!!

Daddy's friends in North Vancouver

It was so nice of Dan's friends to come by and say hello to Daniel and I. They are a great group of people and it has been so awesome to be able to keep in touch and stay close. Daniel is so blessed to have so many people love and care for him.

Friends at the park

Daniel and I met our friends at the park to watch the Snowbirds. They were flying by too fast to get a good picture, but it was sure nice to see the boys hang out together.

My first BIG smile....

Here is Daniel's first big smile. I have to confess that I missed it. This one was captured by Grandma and Grandpa Langerud. I think I saw the first smile, but not one as big as this!

In Kelowna

While we were in Kelowna waiting to go home, we had some fun taking pictures. Here are some moments from our days. Sleeping, playing and bathing!! What else is there to do all day.....I guess eat too, but no one wants to see that!!!!

40 weeks and 3 days till my due date!

I have been trying to walk this baby out. So Dan and I have been going to the lake for walks these last few days. Hopefully these will be the last pictures of me pregnant as I try to prove the Dr. wrong about me going overdue!!! Thank you Shannon Lake for the beautiful shaded trail these days with the 30 + degrees!!!

Here is the quilt I made for the baby. I sure hope baby enjoys it, if not, I know I will.....

Today I thought I would take advantage of the Okanagan sun and catch a few rays before I am running to catch a baby! Here are a few moments of silence I had this last week of pregnancy. Then it got too hot....and I was inside again, enjoying the air conditioning! Didn't mean to copy your picture Kim, but it is pretty funny the view you get from our vantage point! :)
