The weekend

The level of activity hasn't decreased, maybe it's the warmer weather? Daniel likes to flex his muscles, climb the pot plant in the back yard and pull all the couch cushions off the couch and chill out with Curious George...... Let's hope it's out of his system in 5 weeks time!

Sorry it's been a while......

It's been a while since I have updated the blog. We have all had the flu and I have been busy working two jobs. I've finished up one now and will finish the second in the next two weeks. Daniel, as always, has been BUSY! Here are a few recent photos.......

Joseph and Daniel enjoying blue berry muffins, Daniel with his 'hat' on (the face he's making is his smiling face), and Daniel on his new bed with sunglasses on (? he thought it was a fun thing to do).

A Morning at Lone Pine

On Wednesay we visited Lone Pine. This was Daniel's first encounter with animals other than the cat or the dog. He loved it. He really liked the lorikeets and was amazed when the white cockatoo said hello to him. At the moment when he smiles he likes to squeeze up his eyes......

It's not paint.....

No this isn't paint, but spaghetti sauce! Daniel has become 'very independent' and insists on feeding himself all meals, as a consequence we spend alot of time cleaning up afterwards.

Monkey Man

Here is Daniel running around as a monkey after his bath, he thinks he's quite special.

Not quite DEVO.....

I haven't shown Daniel any DEVO film clips from the 80's but he seems to have developed a very similar style....... He loves to wear plastic tupperware bowls as hats, and it's seems Daddy doesn't mind either!

He's a dancing machine

Sorry to do another video but Daniel really loves dancing at the moment. At the slightest sound of music he's off. We took him to Southbank where he entertained the crowds with his uncoordinated moves, might have to throw out a hat and see if we can make some money from him! Please enjoy this dance that invented to one of Marshall's old songs.

He wears his sunglasses at night....

Daniel loves hats and glasses. He quite likes Marshall's sunglasses at the moment......

If you can believe it Daniel is now 17 months old. Amazing. He's walking and climbing. He favourite things to do are playing outside in the sandpit or in the yard and looking at books. He has quite few words, many of them indistinguishable! He's lots of fun.

Happiness is......... a new sandpit!

While Grand-dad and Grandma were here a few weeks ago, they helped Marshall build a sandpit. Daniel was very excited by this and couldn't wait to get in. As you see by the video, the pit isn't even full but Daniel is really enjoying it!

Bush Boy

Daniel turned 16 months last week and he's full of energy now! Grandma came and visited for a week and we all went for a drive to Esk and Kilcoy. While we were in Kilcoy we visited with Val's friend Cheryl. Cheryl's property has a creek that runs through the bottom of it, Daniel had a great time exporing the creek, too bad the weather wasn't good otherwise we would have had a swim.
