Sorry for the long hiatus. I disappeared into the rural cottage life and decided to leave life and technology behind. The trip was wonderful. Daniel got to spend tons of time with his aunts, uncle, great aunts and uncles, cousins, grandparents and great grandparents. Daniel took to cottage life quite well. He really enjoyed the fresh air and went swimming at least five times. After the first attempt in the swimsuit, we quickly discovered that naked swimming was best. On his last swim, he started kicking and really enjoying the water. As Daniel is a bit 'slow to warm up,' I was thrilled to see him enjoying the water so much. After he came out, all the grandparents who were on the beach decided that if he could do it, they could too.
In the past three weeks Daniel has changed so much. He is much bigger and stronger. He grabs at toys and puts everything in his mouth. He has been drooling a ton. Grammy likes to call him Juicy. Just today, we spotted a tooth coming in. Nothing above the surface yet, but I can see it just below the surface.
On three out of the four plane flights, we had the same flight attendant. He was very kind to Daniel and would always bring him a cup to play with. Well on the flight out there, Daniel had very little interest in the cup. Today, he grabbed the cup and put it right in his mouth. If I handed it to him the right way, he would grab it with both hands and put it in his mouth. Maybe we will skip all the bottle feeding and go straight to the cup :)
Alright, enough for tonight. Tomorrow, I get to unpack and go through the mail and get back to real life. Well this real life, next week I go back to work. I think that is probably real life.
