Swifter, Higher, Stronger

Daniel is really taking the Olympic motto seriously. Especially the higher part. Last week he managed to climb up into his rocking chair, yesterday he conquered the couch and ottoman, and this morning's exploit involved the kitchen chairs with an eye to the table as the next objective. AHHHH! So now the question is, at what point should I consider getting him a helmut?

Smiling at Dad



Daniel loves to be up on the couch, looking out the window and chatting at the passers by. Stella the cat quite often hangs out with him as she has similar pastimes.

Like Father, Like Son?

Daniel was leery of the trumpet playing at first, but now he runs over and wants a turn pushing down the valves and trying to blow. I suppose we probably have enough trumpets to go around. ;)














Mr. Independant



Daniel finally managed to climb up into his rocking chair all by himself. He was quite proud of himself and his new perch, and proceeded to demonstrate how he could get books and read them all on his own. Enjoy.

Best seat in the house

Daniel's Grandma & Grandpa S. got him his very own armchair for Christmas. It just arrived this past weekend and was an instant hit. He can easily get in an out by himself and, even better, it's too heavy for him to move around to help him climb on other things. He likes to move the back of the seat forward and back (it folds down to become an ottoman for big people in the evenings) and he's very excited to climb on something and not get in trouble.

Oh dear

Time to move some items around in the closets. Once he figured out his bedroom one there was no stopping him from trying his new skills around the house.
