First Playdate

Above: Here is Daniel with his other elephant (No, we are not crazy elephant collecting people, Keith & I bought this one in London because it was just too cute. We have now met our quota of pachyderms). This is not the elephant comparison shot of the week, I'll try to take that later.

Below: On Friday, Daniel & I walked over to a friend's house & he ended up having his first play date. The other baby boy is a exactly week younger than Daniel, though you can't tell from their relative sizes!

Family photos

My parents managed to fit another quick visit into their busy schedules. It may have been short, but for just about the whole visit one or the other was holding Daniel. :)

Winter has arrived

Remember that green grass? The very next afternoon the snow came. Perfect, snowglobe-like snow. We had some errands to run & came home to find our pumpkin doing it's best lone ranger impression. Yes, the pumpkins should have been tossed by now, but then I wouldn't have had this picture. Sometimes laziness pays off.

Six weeks old

Daniel is six weeks old today. We decided to do the Dumbo comparison outside on the green grass- yes, that's green grass on November 3rd! Below are all the cards we've received from family and friends since his birth. Thanks everyone!

Aren't babies supposed to sleep all the time?

Daniel turned one month old last week and his Auntie Melissa came down for a quick visit.
Here Daniel is looking very awake for a baby who has been up for over four hours. He made it all the way to five before finally giving in to sleep... for a little while.

4 weeks old!

Here is the Dumbo vs. Daniel comparison, hopefully from an angle that I won't hear complaints about! :)

We took Daniel & Keith's parents down to Indian Battle Park yesterday to take some pictures. It's usually a little less windy down there so a few trees still had their leaves.
We thought it would be nice to get some multi-generational pictures while they were here & the weather even cooperated a little.
Daniel may have passed Dumbo for size, but he's got a ways to go when it comes to Sam...


And tomorrow Daniel will be a month old!

We are still taking pics...

Here are Daniel & Dumbo; Daniel is 3 weeks old (plus a day) and is starting to get a bit chubbier & longer.
Daniel puts on his angry dictator face...
and later practices looking angelic.

What are the chances he'll strike a pose when we actually want him to?
