It's our first carrot. Yes, it is small, but it was yummy!

Happy Birthday Grandpa and Uncle Steve!

What a beautiful day for a birthday celebration.

Daniel, can you please pass me a container?

Our first harvest from our first garden. Chard, anyone?

Latest Artwork

Josh's recent art work features a "mobile apartment home" (just in case you don't know what that is, it is time to look back at a BusyTown book) with arrows directing it. Another addition to the picture is "Josh and Daddy holding hands, walking on the beach". Look at how they are holding hands. I love it.

Guests!

We finally got to meet Jack, 8 months old. He's a cutie isn't he? Thanks for visiting us Jen, we had lots of fun.

Nice Ride

Daniel at One Year

Weight: 18 lbs 1 oz (<5%)
Height: 27.5 in (5%)
Head Circumference: 18 in (27%)

Daniel still says just a few words. They haven't changed much in the past few months. Ball, car, dog. He is crawling, standing, cruising and balancing for a few seconds. He falls asleep sucking his left thumb and pulling on his clothes. He just has the two bottom teeth, but the doctor said it looks like some top teeth will be erupting very soon. He has the sweetest smile and for right now, likes to be close to mom. His favorite toy is a ball, but he also likes to read books and follow his brother around.

The Water

Daniel enjoyed the ocean and though it was pretty funny when the waves came up. See that orange shovel in his hand, he didn't let go the for the whole time we were at the beach.

Josh on the other hand, is not a fan of the ocean. Finally he ventured closely and only when being held high. As soon as a wave came up, he was off like a shot up the beach back to our towels.

Birthday Party Fun

We're not sure who is having more fun with Daniel's new toys, Josh or Daniel?

Happy Birthday Daniel!

We celebrated Daniel's birthday a few days earlier with family. Unfortunately, we didn't seem to get any pictures with the family but all the grandparents and Aunt Shana and Uncle Steve were here to mark the occassion. Daniel decided it was best to be close to mom at all times, but we think he enjoyed his balloons and cupcake!
