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.

This is NOT the babysitter!

Ok, So I don't really leave him infront of the TV, but I couldn't resist since he was looking so interested as to what was going on....plus getting to hold the remote as well!

Airplane

Here is Danielito playing Airplane with Mommy....this is something he really loves to do.....hmmmm...I wonder why???

Another Bumbo Baby in the Langerud Family

Thanks Grandma for the Bumbo....it is lots of fun sitting like a big boy!

What is all of this???

This was Danielito's first experience with grass, sand, and the ocean. As you can see he doesn't just jump into anything....he really has to think about it first....but in the end he sure enjoyed the day!

Peru? Canada? Qatar? - Where am I from??

I guess Danielito will have an interesting story to tell about where he was conceived, born and lived as a baby....here on his shirt and the stuffed camel tell the story basically!!

Our Little Sweet Pea

My Auntie LaVonne and Uncle Doug found this cute bib that said Sweet Pea on it. Dan and I called the baby Sweet Pea before he was born, so it was so neat to get the bib and finally put it on our Little Sweet Pea!!!

Us with Dan's cousins - Guilianna and Carina, oh and Caesar.
The whole gang of us enjoying a pasta lunch....
Just after we threw in our coins to make sure one day we return. Danielito threw one in too!
Am I really happy?? Hmmm....was pretty tired by that point!

Who is that couple...they look famous!

Watch out for the Roman Soldiers!!!

Poor Danielito slept through everything.....

Checking out a castle in a little town outside of Rome.

Roma - September 2007

We made our first trip together as a family to Rome. Dan had a flight there with a layover, so we all jumped on board his A330 and took off. This was Danielito's first flight with his Daddy!! As well as on the way home Dan's parents came back with us to Doha and it was there first time to be flown commercially with their son. So Rome was amazing...it lived up to the expectations I had. We took about 300 pics, so I will spare you all and just post a few, but we sure had a great time. We met up with some relatives of Dan who lived in a small town about an hour out of Rome. They were so great to us, fed us a traditional Italian meal where the food keeps coming and coming.....and opened their home to us for the night. They also took us around Rome the next day for our own private tour!!! Was so nice to meet them, get to know them and spend a wonderful weekend with them. Dan's parents met us in Rome coming from Canada. That was awesome too, to be able to make the trip with so many family! Danielito was in his glory and he had 3 beautiful cousins doting on him and well as Uncle, Aunt and Grandparents!!! Lots of smiles those days. We survived the flights pretty well also....Danielito slept most of the flight with a few breaks for eating and a diaper change....plus a little cuddling from the Flight Attendants who I thought would never give him back!!!!

Big boy bath time...all by myself! - and moms yummy hugs after.

Peruvian Baby - and cousins....

This is Sadie at 3 months and Daniel at 2 months wearing matching hats....aren't they cute! See any family resemblance???

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!!!
