Daniel the comedian

I know I need to add pictures but I wanted to share a few funny moments with Daniel. Daniel has really grown up a lot since his 3rd birthday.
He can be so literal sometimes. Eric took him to the zoo about a month ago. He had a blast and Eric told him to tell me about the baby monkeys.
"We saw baby monkeys at the zoo." says Daniel.
"Tell Mama you saw them jumping." says Eric.
"Were they jumping on the beds?" I say.
"No, they don't have beds." says Daniel.
"Was the Mama telling them, 'No more jumping on the bed?'" I say.
"No, monkeys don't talk. They say 'Ooo Ooo aahh ahh'"says Daniel.

Just this past Tuesday, my parents were in town visiting and we went out to celebrate a late 10 yr anniversary for Eric working with AT&T. Daniel's cousin Amelia, was telling Daniel some jokes. So Daniel came up with his own joke.
"Why did the chicken cross the road?"
"I don't know."
"To get to the other playground."
And then Daniel would laugh hysterically himself before anyone else did. When we started laughing, he continued to say it and laugh to have us laugh some more.

I will try to get some pictures posted soon.

Noah eating by himself

Well Noah has about 7 teeth now, so we are trying to give him some table foods. He has been eating Gerber puffs for a couple of months now he loves picking them up and crunching them in his mouth. Today Noah had green beans and pasta for dinner and this was the first time we let him pick it up by himself. He went wild and had a great time making a mess and eating some of his dinner.

Our trip to California

One of my cousins was having a wedding in CA and I thought it would be the perfect opportunity for us to take Daniel to Disneyland. Noah was too small to enjoy it but that just gives us an excuse to go back again. We drove in my parents RV from Plainview to Sacramento and it took us 3 days to get there. At the wedding, Daniel and Noah met our cousins from the West Coast and they had a great time.





Eric's parents were also lucky enough to join us in CA so we had a great time at Disneyland. Daniel's favorite ride was the Casey Jr. Circus Train (from Dumbo).

I am already looking forward to goin again when Noah is older.

Update on Our Summer

Well it has been a while since I have blogged and we have had a busy summer. We visited some friends in Dallas in June but unfortunately I lost our camera while we were there. Noah and Daniel have both grown so much. Noah is not sitting on his own and crawling everywhere. He is beginning to pull himself up on me or Eric. I am trying to show him how to pull up on other things.

I put a ball pit for the boys and they both loved it. Noah loves playing with Daniel and Daniel can always make Noah smile.

Daniel's first visit to the dentist

Daniel has his first visit to the dentist on Monday. He did so great and he was very cooperative. He did not cry or throw any fits at all. I feel bad that he did not get to go into one of the cool rooms for the little kids. They were very busy and we got there a little late because we got a little lost trying to find it. So he ended up going into one of the rooms for the pre-teens/ teenagers. He chose cherry flavored gloves and he loved playing with the suction hose. He has 10 teeth on top and 10 teeth on bottom. We got to see his x-rays and he was very proud that those were pictures of his teeth. He did so well that the hygeniest let him pick 3 toys. She said most kids just pick two. She could of just been saying that to make us feel better. Daniel has no cavities and the dentist said his teeth look great. We forgot the camera so I will have to download some pictures off of Eric's phone later.

Noah is a busy body

Well Noah is so active. How many times have I said that. This week he started to spin on his tummy and he is beginning to roll over at night. He will stay on his tummy a lot longer and he is starting to push off with his feet a lot. He loves watching Daniel play and he wants to join in. He is sitting up for longer periods of time (1 - 2 min.) and he is trying really hard to keep his balance. He has been going to The Little Gym and he is the only baby so the teacher gives him all her attention. We all work to make him stronger and happier each week.
The whole family is doing great and Eric and I are getting excited about our trip to California in July. We are driving to Sacramento for a cousin's wedding and then we are going to stop in Anaheim, CA to go to Disneyland and Knott's Berry farm on the way back. We are going with my parents and my sister and her husband. Everyone is excited and we can not wait to see Daniel's face when we go to the two parks.

Noah loves Daniel

Noah is officially 6 months. We took him to his 6 month visit and he is 27.5 in. long and 18.5 lbs. He is a little above 50 percentile for his weight and length.

About a week ago, Noah started to try to get out of some of his toys. He twists and kicks and jumps and grabs onto bars to try to get out. He is still very active and he has started to try to refuse naps. Just this afternoon he kicked and grunted for about an hour to take a 20 minute nap.

Daniel loves playing with Eric and climbing and jumping all over him. Noah watches in excited anticipation. He smiles everytime Daniel talks to him and he kicks and screams to be included in the commotion.

Here are some pictures of my boys chilling in front of the TV and playing.
