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.

Easter break

Here's Daniel at Cabarita Beach, he really loves the water and could not understand why he couldn't go in for another swim.

Nice hat

We had a visit from Belinda and William who are over visiting from Perth. The boys had a lot of fun on the back deck.

Daniel had lots of fun playing in this bucket of water at the coast, I'm not quite sure why his tongue was out the entire time!

We had a few days at the coast over Easter. Amanda Nick and the boys came down on Sunday for a BBQ. The boys had lots of fun together, they quite enjoyed the Easter egg hunt.

15 Months now

Hard to believe how quickly the time flies but it really does. I am now back at work 3 days a week, and Daniel goes to Family Day Care 2 days then has a day home with Marshall. Daniel continues to grow! He's now walking quite well and can manage the stairs up and down (crawling though), his latest 'trick' is trying to jump, it involves alot of bobbing up and down and just occassionally he'll get air....... He's got 6 teeth and his hair continues to grow like a weed!

These photos were taken recently one of Daniel with his foot in Clancy's water bucket and the other cruising the hippo around on the fire truck.

Playgroup

Daniel and I have started going to Playgroup on a Thursday. It's a lovely group. There's lots to do, we also get the chance to catch up regularly with Jane, Madelyn and Lachlan. Daniel's favourite place is the ball pit.
