Pics...

I tried to post a video but it wouldn't work so I'll just post these cute pictures of my new appendage, I'M NOT KIDDING he doesn't let me put him down and no one can hold him if I am in the room without him screaming, but as soon as I walk over and pick him up he is perfectly content, good thing he's so stinkin' cute.

Baby Talking

4 Month Update

Daniel is growing up so fast. We went in for his four month check up and he now weighs in at a whopping 17lbs which puts him in the 90% for weight. He is 26 inches long which is in the 80%. He had to get 3 shots which was not good. Mom hates it and he really hates it. He was screaming so bad that he actually forgot to breathe and passed out a bit. I freaked out a bit but at least he doesn't have to have them for another 2 months. He is learning how to sit up and can roll (only 3 times total) from tummy to back. He loves to talk and sometimes I think he is trying to sing. Since I have started my summer break and no longer have to work all day he has become one of my apendages, he loves his mommy. I think he's absolutely wonderfully handsome, who wouldn't with those cheeks and rolls.

Daniel & Alex

This is Daniel and His cousin Alex. Alex is currently serving his mission in Michigan.

Smiles

Smiles, we get a lot of these now.

The reason why we chose to name our son Daniel Cleveland is because we both felt strongly that was the name for him. It wasn't even one of the names we were debating over but it was the first one we both felt right about. Daniel is my mothers father. He was a great man. I loved him very very much. He did many wonderful things in this life and I was proud to name my son after him. Cleveland is David's middle name and his Great Grandpa's first name. I don't know much about him but have been told that he to was a great man. I know that he was kind and loving. I hope that Daniel can look back on his Grandpas examples and pattern his life after theirs.

BEAN!!!

This past week Daniel met his new best friend, Bean. Bean is Daniels only cousin and is a year older then Daniel. Bean LOVES Daniel, and Daniel Loves Bean. They will just sit and stare at each other, or carry on a conversation in their cute baby talk. I've been told that Daniel can get Bean to stop crying. Bean loves to have Daniel close so he can give him wet slobbery kisses (more like licks). They have become instant best friends. We can't wait for Daniel to get a little bigger so he can play more with Bean. It is the cutest thing to watch them interact with each other.

Last week David had the opportunity to bless Daniel .
He did such an amazing job and the spirit was so strong.
Here are some pictures that we

took afterwards of Daniel in his blessing outfit.

Cute Chubby baby

Daddy thinks he looks
like a little girl in this picture,

Mommy thinks he looks so cute.
What do you think Daniel thinks?

Disposable Diapers

Disposable diapers are the greatest thing since epidurals. One day I would like to personally thank the person that invented them. I can't imagine having to hand wash diapers, YUCK!!

The Pacifier...

Daniel loves the Soothie brand pacifier that he got from the hospital. I don't know what we would do without it. Aside from feeding him, the soothie is the only thing that really calms him down. We don't go anywhere without it. We constantly find ourselves, along with everyone else holding it in so it doesn't roll away. Those things roll far when the fall.

Babies First Walk

We got this adorable bear outfit from the Whites and I couldn't help but put him in it for our first walk. He loved it outside. He hasn't been out much because its been so freezing cold. We walked daddy to scouts and then decided to pop in to visit Grandma and Grandpa Wilson (my parents). He got sick of the stroller after about 20 minutes and that is when I realized I didn't have his pacifier (bad move on my part). 

Chubby Bubby

I love his face in this picture. He is actually

starting to show some intrest in David and I.

A smile!!!!

We weighed him two weeks ago

 and he was about 10 pounds. 

Babies grow up so fast!!!!

1st Road Trip

Road Trip!!!! Baby did such a good job.

We drove with Grandma, three hours to watch Aunt Lindsie

play Basketball and visit

Great Grandma & Grandpa Wilson.

He slept the entire way there and home.

Great Grandma and Grandpa Wilson

Daniel had the unique opportunity to visit with his Great Grandma & Grandpa Wilson this past month. Great Grandpa Wilson is 87 years old and has lost his short term memory. He doesn't always know who you are and never remembers you were there the next day, but is always excited
to have you stop and visit. When we were up there last he had the opportunity to hold Daniel, one I prayed for so many times while I was pregnant with Daniel. I just wanted Grandpa to be able to hold him and to get a picture of them together. This is one of several along with video I was able to get. It was so emotional for me. Here were two people on complete opposite ends of life's cycle. Daniel new and fresh from his Father in Heaven, and Grandpa waiting to return, their paths crossing for just a minute. Daniel LOVED sitting in Great Grandpas lap. It was as if he already knew him. He sat so content just looking up into his face. Great Grandpa even made up a song to sing for him. Great Grandma also loved baby Daniel and he loved her. She held him and adored him. It was a priceless memory that I will always treasure.

This is Daniel when he was
only 20 minutes old, his
little face was so swollen.

This is baby at one day old.
He wasn't real happy
with me in this picture.

Daniel is 2 days old in this picture. I think he looks
like he is smiling in this picture.

3 days old and eyes wide open!

Even though this picture is a little
blurry I think it is one of my favorites.
This is when Daniel was only 5 days old.

Update

Sorry we aren't the best at keeping this up. We are working on figuring out how to do more stuff with this blog. Our goal is to get a slide show on here of the baby with updated pictures. So far we have had no luck.

Daniel is growing up so fast. We weighed him two weeks ago and he was about 10 pounds and measured about 23 inches long. It is always hard to get him to stretch out all the way so he could be longer.

Sadly I had to go back to work this week. It is so hard to leave a little baby that you've been with day and night for 6 weeks. Thankfully we have wonderful mothers who are taking time out of their busy schedules to take care of him while I finish out the school year. We love our family!!!!
