My first meal.....

Daniel had his first meal of rice cereal. He ate like a pro, but then sneezed like a pro right after....Dan and I were both covered with rice spray! YUMMMM....

Our First Christmas with Daniel in Doha

We celebrated on the 30th so that we were all together at home and could open our gifts and eat some turkey. We had a nice evening and really enjoyed watching (helping) Daniel open his gifts!! Though he seemed to find the tree more facinating than his gifts.

December 30, 2007

The second to last day of 2007, my friend Sara, her little girl Taylor, Daniel and I went for a nice walk to enjoy the " Doha winter". It was so beautiful and around 27 degrees! Thanks Sara for the fun walks and talks, I am really going to miss them and you especially, you are what made the walks fun and are a special friend!!! Thanks for listening. Love you lots...

My 30th Birthday

I am sorry Dan missed it, but I went out with my friends to try Ethiopian food for my birthday. It was a fun adventure and great company! Thanks Beatys for the idea!!!

Christmas Day

What a way to spend Christmas Day...Daniel patiently waiting for our flight and watching the airplanes, our Christmas apple in Munich, Germany, and the cute t-shirt I bought for him in Germany, meaning snow...

Geneva, Switzerland

Our first kiss under a real mistletoe...
Christmas Eve...freezing to death!
The Alps...

First Public Bus

Daniel was all bundled up on our bus trip to the center of Geneva on Christmas Eve.

Front and Back

Here is the front, the cute I just woke up face...and then the back....hmmm....you like my rolls???

Flying away for Christmas with Daddy

Dan had a flight to Geneva, Switzerland and the layover was over Christmas, so we decided it would be best if Daniel and I trapsed along so that we could all be together for Christmas, especially Daniel's first Christmas. What a great little passenger he was and he was even better after the pilot had to come and tell him to behave! hehehe Thanks Daddy!!!

Chillin' in his rocking chair

BEE Movie

We took Daniel to see his first movie, BEE MOVIE. Of course his first movie had to have Jerry Seinfeld since that is Dan's favorite actor/tv show. He was so cute and behaved very well. In fact when we went into a McDonalds later and he saw a Bee Movie poster....he kept looking at it and laughing!!!

Another first...Lemons!!!

I know he isn't supposed to have lemons yet, but we couldn't resist since he seemed to interested in what was on my plate. He made the funniest faces, though not as scrunched up as I thought it would be, but he did gag and nearly throw up while at it. What a trooper though, so brave to put on a show for mom and dad....while we laughed our heads off!!!

hmmm...what is this??

I thought you would get a kick out of seeing the little local kids skating at the mall. Probably wouldn't see that in Canada anywhere.

First time for everything.

This is the first time we realized that Daniel could stand on his own as long as he is holding on to something. Thanks to Dan who is always there to try new things with Daniel. Oh and no his feet are not on crooked, he just curls his toes everytime I try to put his shoes on and so they are not quite on all the way....looks weird though, I know. Or maybe it is the too short of pants....whatever it is...still cute.

Oh so COOL.....

I have been dying for Daniel to fit into his aviator sunglasses. He is getting closer so of course I have to keep trying them on. And then there are the hats....I thought it might be a good idea to wear hats on him often so that when he starts to take them off, he might not do it....ya right...I can hear all the mothers saying....oh well, it is worth a try right!

Sorry Taylor

While Daniel's friend Taylor was on vacation, Daniel was out in the park flirting it up with his other girlfriends. The smallest one is Lydia, she was just a couple weeks old, then there is Miriam who is 2 months and Daniel was 4 months. They were so cute together!!! Thanks Miriam for the big SMILE!!

Get me out of this Santa suit!!!

The camel guy wanted to hold Daniel and then put him on the back of the camel. Ya, I was freaking out a bit since we had a scare earlier, but I guess it was the nice, calm camel. Not too sure how impressed Daniel was, or maybe he was just sweltering hot in his santa clothes. He sure liked the feel of the sheep skin he was sitting on and I had to pry some hairs out of his fingers after and bring out the wipes....yuck!!!

Merry Christmas from Baby Santa!!
