DANIEL IS 7 MONTHS

Hey everyone just wanted to let everyone know that Daniel is now seven months old, and doing great. We took him to the doctor this past month and he is 17lb 4oz, and is 25.5" tall. He is growing up so fast.
I waited to post for this month till now, because I wanted to post him in his costume. This year for Halloween Daniel was a puppy. He was really cute with his little ears, everytime he moved his head they would wag... We also let him have a little treat for the first time. He was so excited about it, but... oh did he get sticky!!! It was really fun to watch his eyes as they would get bigger every time he would put the sucker in his mouth.
Any how this past month Daniel has been working on sitting up. Daniel also really likes to hold his blottle, and to scoot around on the floor.
We have also given him his own room and he is doing really well with it. I had originaly thought he would get upset that we were not right there, but he actualy sleeps better all by himself. Although we did have one night when Adam forgot to bring the monotor into our room and we woke up to a very unhappy little Daniel Monster.
Well anyways we are all doing well, although Daniel did catch something the other day. I think that it was just a stomach flu, but it still wasn't fun to deal with. He is getting better now, it was just scary to for us to watch him go through that. Anyhow... well he is up from his nap so i'de better go. Hope that all of you are doing well, and that we may hear how things are going in all of your lives. We love all of you, and will talk more later.
Love Adam, Betsy, & Daniel

Daniel's 6 Months old!!!!

Well we have made it to six months and Daniel is doing great. It has been a fun month. One of Daniel's favorite things to do at church is to be as loud as he can during the Hymns. I think it is kinda cute that he is trying to sing. As soon as the music stops he just sits there and is quite till the prayer is over.

He also loves to roll around. He gets himself stuck up next just about anything that is on the floor and if it is small enough it goes into the mouth. And keeping things off the floor is a bigger task then I had imagined. The other day I was doing laundry and the sheets were all in a pile on the floor and he managed to get himself all wraped up and stuck in them he thought it was the greatest thing. Daniel is also learning how to sit up. Although he can do it, he just has to figure this balancing thing out.
We are not sure how much he weights now or how tall he is cause we missed his Dr. appointment so I will have to send an update later in October.

We have been experimenting with solid food for a couple of weeks now, mostly just rice cereal. But this week I decided to start something new so were trying sweet potatoes this week... He LOVES them!! I was laughing so hard but we did managed to get a few good pictures. I think that next month he might be a little orange in the skin but oh well, he will still be cute. I told him that next week we are going to try squash and he got really excited, so we will see.
We love taking care and raising this wonderful little boy. He is truly a blessing and a handful all at the same time. But I really do enjoy it and I look forward to the days ahead. It is so neat to watch him discover new things. And to see him get excited when Adam comes home from work is really fun. I cant wait for the hugs and the kisses that he will be able to give in a few more months. Being a Mom is truly a blessing.
Well we will talk more later.
Love
Adam Betsy & Daniel

Count your BLESSINGS!!!!!

Hey I just thought that this was neat. That 7 years ago today was 9-11. I remember everything that I did that day. What I said, thought, felt, and were I went.
As I went outside today I saw flags up and down our street, there were so many you would have thought that the president was coming or something. It was a wonderful feeling to be reminded, that we are free. And that there are horrible but also really wonderful thing that we are given the opportunity to be part of.
Things may not always happen the way we think they should but today just reminded me of all the wonderful blessings that heavenly father has allowed me to have, and entrusted me with. I want my family to know how much I love them and how blessed I am to have them.

Daniel is 5 Months

Hey sorry that this is late but because the 4 month one went out so late I had to wait till something new happened.
So anyways Daniel now weights 16lb 8oz and is 26" tall. His new favorite thing is to roll over, although he gets stuck on his tummy and gets very mad when he cant get back. I think it is kinda funny to watch. So we let him try to figure it out for a few min and then help him get on his back, just so he can do it all over again...
Daniel has also discovered that toys are really fun to chew on especially the ones at the store. On Monday I went grocery shopping and Daniel was with me. He started to get kinda fussy so I told him that he had to wait till we were done and then he could have a bottle. So he kinda settled down. Until we got in to the baby isle... And as i was getting the cans of formula he started to laugh and just smile. So i looked up and saw this toy on the shelf, it had big red ears and a black nose and when you pull his tail it vibrates. So i picked it up and said "Hey what do you think of this" and he started to laugh. I guess that i put it to close to his face cause before i could move it he stuck it in is mouth. So we had to buy it we call him Paches Daniel loves him although he makes Daniel really excited so Paches has to stay in the living room not in Daniel's bed.
It is so much fun to watch him grow and to discover new things. I cant wait to see what he decides to do next.
Well hope that all is going well for all of you and will talk more later.

Love Adam Betsy & Daniel
