Thank You

Okay, I know...some parents are obnoxious and pretend their kid is saying something but really it just sounds like gibberish....but I swear Daniel is saying "thank you."  He said it numerous times today and if you squint with your ears, it sounds like "thank you."

Okay, fine, maybe I'm an obnoxious parent.

Anyway, here are some photos from the weekend.  Danny and I went to the park while Tom went for his run on a beautiful morning.

At daycare, he sleeps on the floor with a boppy pillow, so he was pretending to take a nap in the hall.  He thought it was funny.

Uncle Dave caught a gecko for Danny to see up close!

We went to the big pool in Kihei and these boys were looking cute in their swim wear.

Cherries

Snack time!

Cherries were on sale!  Delicious and good for decorating your mouth and hands!

Evening Walk

Making this boy walk the line..

He loves piggy back rides, but hasn't quite figured out that he needs to hold on just yet..

Lately

Playing trains!

Splashing in puddles after some rain.  This must just be something we're all born with.  We've never taught him to splash in puddles, but as soon as we went outside, that's what he wanted to do.  It was awesome.  I have a cute video but it won't let me load...oh well.

Daniel's reaction when I told him it was time to go pick up Tom from work.

Yesterday morning we went outside to watch our neighbor trim the hedge.  Daniel was so mesmerized by it that we set up our chairs and sat there for a good 40 minutes to watch.  It wasn't a bad way to enjoy my coffee.

Oh, something noteworthy I should mention...Daniel hasn't nursed since last Tuesday morning!  I'm going to go ahead and call that officially weaned!  It was a pretty easy process for us that only involved fussing about it one morning.  Yahoo!

Gecko!

Daniel makes this sound like he's practicing his French nasalized vowels.  I love it.

Today we went to the park to meet Tom as he finished up his run.

And Daniel's big accomplishment for the day is learning to say "gecko."  A true island boy!  He will NOT stop saying it and it's making bedtime a little difficult, but it's super awesome.  My new favorite word of his.

Teddy Bear Picnic

After sharing his grapes with old Pooh Bear, Danny decided he could use a sip of milk too..

Simple Pleasures

Life really is all about the simple pleasures, isn't it?  Here's Danny looking amazed at the huge rig the roofers parked in our driveway.  

Also he's probably enjoying the simple pleasure of not wearing pants..

Later we had some fun dinner time shenanigans with an oven mitt.
