A New Swingset!

First things first, it's fun to put stickers on noses :)
Slides are fun up or down!

I'm so glad we have this piece. Daniel really likes hanging from it.

Christopher and I think the swing is nice. Swinging brings back so many memories.

Here is the whole thing!

I'm tempted to say it's changed our lives, but that might be a little dramatic. Daniel loves playing on it and can even get in and out of the penthouse on his own. It is also a big draw for the neighbors. Just wait until we fill the sandbox! Thankfully we had a lot of help putting it together. Construction is not exactly Matt's cup of tea ;)

Balloons are Fantastic

We got Daniel this balloon for his birthday. He has been playing with it since then. That was about two weeks ago! Little did I know the joy that a mylar balloon could bring.

Some Pictures

Daniel and Gigi playing with Playdoh balls.

Christopher, standing? I was trying to get him to sit, and he just kept standing up.

"Mommy, I did it!" I had to make a few adjustments before we could head out the door.

Christopher loves his fingers!

A little TV time.

Turning Two

We have been busy here making preparations for Daniel's second birthday and his second birthday party. One of our biggest tasks was teaching him how to hold two fingers up. He has to concentrate so hard to figure it out. It's like you can see his mind working while he tries to figure it out. I love watching him think so hard.

I asked Daniel what kind of party he wanted and his response was, "Hot dog." Not, "Hot diggity dog, I'm having a party," just "hot dog." I was thinking he might say Sesame or baseball, but no, the answer was hot dog. So we are having hot dogs. Too bad the weather turned rainy and cold. Yesterday is was in the 70s.

Wish us luck with the hot dogs today!
