we did have one week where he and i were super tired from him being sick and getting no sleep all night long. but it was nice to have the cuddles all day from this busy little man.
there was one day i was having a bad day and chris sent me this pretty flowers. it was a nice surprise and very sweet of him. i dont usually like flowers but these were just perfect timing i guess.
my little guy is getting so big! he looks like such a little boy now instead of a baby. not that he ever looked a lot like a baby but he sure is getting big. he is still the happiest little guy. smiles and laughs like crazy. is starting to talk more and more all the time.
i couldn't get him to leave the ac units alone in the back yard and it was the only thing setting me back from being able to let him play outside alone... so i got fancy and put up some chicken wire with poles or some garden fencing and wrapped it around the units. he was not too happy but it keeps him safe.
loves taking pictures of himself. especially when i hold the camera so he can see himself. he just thinks hes so cute.
we've made some really good friends out here in jacksonville. lately i've been spending a lot of time with sara and her three little girls. we took a trip out to wilmington for a little shopping and took turns waiting in the car with these napping babes. they really like to play together. even though daniel doesn't quite get how to play with others that well yet, he still likes having them around. especially when we go to their house. they have a dog!! daniel starts barking the second we turn onto their street knowing we are going to see the dog. its too funny. and shes a very good dog that lets daniel pat her and poke her in the eye and nose and lay with her in bed. its a special bond for sure. ha!
we've enjoyed having chris work over at the New River air station as it is only 15 min from our house so daniel and i occassionally stop by for lunch and say hi. chris spins daniel around on his chair and i generally chase him around the halls when he runs out of the office.
i signed up at my gym to do these small group classes. they generally have like 4 or 5 people in each class. its called onfit training. kinda like cross fit but less intense. its an awesome workout and for the first time ever i'm consistently going to the gym 3 times a week. i also have become friends with the girls i work out with since its the same 5 of us every week with a few others here and there. its been fun to get stronger and feel like i'm doing something good on those days.
daniels been trying to get better at feeding himself with a spoon... but its not pretty.... here's his awesome yogurt face.
he's also discovered how much he loves to lay on the floor... he will randomly plop down on the floor and play with a car or just lay there... in church, in my bathroom, on our family room floor, on the fireplace, on the stairs.... on the sand. and sometimes he even throws fits laying on the floor.
here he is enjoying his first sucker... i know seems a little late in life but he wasn't ever interested before and i know it just makes a huge mess... and it did. but he liked it.... haha
he also loves reading books at night with his dad. lately his favorite has been go dog go... he can even read the first page.
ive been doing a lot of crafting lately which means many trips to lowes and home depot... chris keeps daniel entertained by pushing carts around while i look at wood and paint and what not....
september was a good month with not a whole lot going on for us... just a nice relaxing easy month.
