Backed into a corner

This morning Welles called to me to say, "Missy has Daniel backed into a corner!"  Sure enough, she was interested in some toast that he was eating.  It didn't seem to bother Daniel as he repeated, "No-no Isshy!"    Still it provided us with a good laugh!

We went back to the park yesterday.  Daniel has mastered the slide and even adds, "Weee" as he slides to the bottom of the big slide. 

Another Day - Another Park

We went to Veterans Park today and had fun chasing Daniel around.  Missy enjoyed getting out of the house, too.  It is amazing that it takes all 3 of us (including Missy) to keep up with Daniel!

A little swimmer

Our little buddy loves the water.  Wendy and Lily Cate invited us to their neighborhood pool today and I was surprised to see how far Daniel has come with his "swimming."  You may be a skeptic, but he was really trying to swim in the baby pool. 

Sometimes, he belly flops into the pool and then crawl/swims across the pool. 

When we went to the "big pool," he kicked his legs and would pull with his arms as I held him.  He also loves to jump in from the side of the pool. 

Daniel is a lot of fun these days, and we hear new words every day.  He really tries to sound out words that we ask him to repeat.  By the end of our pool adventure with our friends today, he was trying to say, "Lily," but it came out more like, "la-la."

Sweeeee---inging

He also loves to go to the park.  We went to the park near our house the other evening after work and Daniel had a blast on the swings and slides.

Trains, boats, trucks, and "Cahs"

Daniel has a love of all forms of transportation. He frequently points at other cars on the road and says, "CAH!!!" If he sees a fancy sportscar in a parking lot, he runs up to it and ooh's and aah's over it exclaiming, "Cah." We are working on "CaR," but he hasn't picked up the "r" sound yet. We were at the Galleria not too long ago and he was mesmerized by the train. He stood in front of it for several minutes making the "choo choo" noise.  Welles convinced me to take a ride with him. Below are some pictures and videos of Daniel's newest obsession.
