Update!

Yes, we have been busy. But that is no excuse for not giving you all an update!

At his 9 ½ month check up, he was 18 lbs 6 oz – finally up into the 12th percentile.

His head size grew to the 94th percentile!

The doctor said, “He sure is growing big brains!”

Daniel is crawling everywhere, sitting up from his stomach and pulling himself up to stand.

The day I caught him standing in his crib was awesome!

Except now he’ll only play with his toys for about 20 seconds before he is off going after a cord in the wall or the dog dish.

He grew up so fast this past month!

We vacationed in a camper – not allowed to say went “camping”

Thanks to a good friend of the family, we were able to rent a camper for our vacation at Silver Lake! It was actually the camper that my parents owned in the 1990s, and I spent many weeks each summer touring the U.S. in with the family. It brought back a lot of memories!

For the past five years, Andy and I have gone camping in a tent. The camper was such an upgrade that Andy said we were no longer “camping!”

It was perfect for Daniel. It had two bunk beds that we were able to gate off and he slept safely. Three of the seven nights he woke up at 4 am… but other than that, he did great!

We spent the mornings at the camp site and the afternoons at the dunes. Daniel loved the sand!

While we were on vacation his first tooth broke through his gums! He didn’t complain or cry at all. It’s a sharp little thing though.

It was a great opportunity for some quality “Mommy and Daniel time”!
