Haircut

We finally decided to get Daniel a haircut, despite what his Grandma wanted (she didn't cut Marshall's hair until he was 18 months and it was falling in ringlets). Yesterday was the day, it was very traumatic. Daniel screamed the entire shop down, he started when the hairdresser sprayed the water and didn't stop until it was over. You'll agree it does look better.

Christmas Fun

We spent a few days at the coast prior to Christmas. Daniel had lots of fun with his cousins Harrison and Ben. It's going to be good fun next year when Daniel is walking and they can run around together. All the boys received some lovely presents from Santa as well as Nana and Poppy.

Party Season

Hamish really liked to tall drum, Daniel and Joseph were more inclined to eat their instruments.

After coming off a week of celebrating Daniel's birthday, there were still more birthdays to celebrate! Our friend William had his 3rd birthday, and for a special treat Kelly and Chris (mum and dad) organised some African Drummers to come and entertain the children. It was lots of fun.

Daniel turns One

Here is Danniel enjoying some of his new toys. He really likes his new bath toy.

Last week Daniel turned one! How the year has flown. We had a party for him on Saturday (8th Dec) then a smaller party on his actual birthday on 11th December. Daniel had an good time at his party, it was pretty overwhelming with so many people but he managed to keep it together for the most part. He received some lovely gifts. Grandma came down for the week and had alot of fun with Daniel. He's such a funny boy now, he knows what to do to get a reaction and is trying hard to say many different words, Gobi or gogi being his favourite.

We went and saw Liz the lovely nurse and she measured him, naturally he is still off the chart with his length... 82cm, and he weighs 11.8kg (no wonder my back is sore!). He's crawling everywhere and pulling up on everything. But the most exciting thing that happened for Daniel on his birthday is that HE GOT SOME TEETH! Hooray! but not the teeth you'd expect, his eye teeth, so he's going to look rather strange.

Oh Christmas Tree

Here is Daniel enjoying pulling off the tree decorations. Initially Daniel was scared of the christmas tree but as you see his warmed up to it now.

Santa

I like to call this photo "Stunned Silence".
Daniel wasn't too sure about the whole Santa thing. In Daniel's defence, it was a spare of the moment decision. Marshall had bought things at Harvey Norman and Santa was there, Daniel was there, the planets aligned and this is the result.
