Baby Steps

Well, it's official! After a couple weeks of standing on his own, cruising around the furniture and pushing anything that moves around the house, Daniel took his first steps yesterday. He took a couple steps while trying to get to Mommy while she was vacuuming, then took a few more steps in the bathtub. Today he did lots of practicing and was able to take six steps before sitting down! Watch out, here he comes!

A Day at the Beach

Daniel and Daddy enjoy the sun at Golden Gardens.

Digging in the sand...

Daddy likes to play, too.

While Daddy's Away...

Daddy was gone last week on a business trip, so Auntie Laura and Daniel helped Mommy celebrate her birthday with a day in Fremont, visiting the park she used to play at when she was little.

So excited to play at Ross Park!

Mommy gets some birthday cuddles from Daniel.

There's nothing like the wind in your face...

We love the swings!

Keeping Cool

Daniel survived the recent Seattle heat by playing in his kiddie-pool. It is now his new favorite thing to do!

Testing the water before getting ready to go in. Not warm enough, yet!

A few hours later, it was time to play!
