I didn't get a chance to post a blog yesterday, because Daniel didn't go to Travis's this week. Travis and I went out to dinner near my place, so Travis stayed over here. On Sunday, I decided I would like to try paintballing with Travis. Paintball is probably Travis's favorite sport. Well, he can play paintball all he wants, I don't think I'm going to do that ever again. Unless I'm shooting at something that doesn't shoot back? Needless to say, I have a couple of bruises on me. I quit playing after the first hour or so, but I got the marks to prove that I at least tried. :)
Anyways, it snowed last night! I was so looking forward to classes being canceled, but my school decided to open late instead of not opening at all...which means I still have to drive up there.. So lame!
Daniel is awake right now and I'm trying to get him to take his morning nap. He has been going to bed earlier lately (around 8) and therefore has been getting up earlier in the morning. It's not so bad for me, because I just go to bed whenever he does anyways. Travis is still asleep right now. I'm not exactly sure when he went to bed or when he will wake up. :)
He can now sit up 100%! It makes me really proud every time he figures out to do something new. You should have seen how happy I was when he figured out he could reach out and grab something. He still hasn't rolled over, but he can roll onto his side. That's something, right?
I'm still looking forward to when he's even older and I can take him places like the pool or the zoo. I really can't wait for that. I'm already planning his first birthday party in my head. I know that I'll miss the way he is now, but for now I can't wait until he is walking and talking.
I love how genuine all of Daniel's emotions are. Every time he looks at me (unless he's hungry or tired that is) he puts the biggest grin on his face. It makes me feel so loved and happy. I hope he always loves me this much. I don't think that anyone could love me as much as Daniel does right now. and I don't ever have to guess how he is feeling. If he is sad, he cries. If he is happy, he laughs. I love that, and I know that some day, it won't be like that.
Daniel has been so slobbery lately! At this moment, he has his bib in his mouth and is making it completely drenched. I can't wait for that phase to be over. :) Also, I'd like to happily add that his cuts on his head are healed! And his cradle cap has gotten much better. I have been putting Baby Balmex on his head to stop it from getting so itchy. He doesn't reach up to touch his head as much, although I do have to make him stop from doing it every now and then.
I have been trying to get Daniel to eat three meals a day of solid food. In the morning, I give him cereal (oatmeal or rice). For lunch and dinner I give him a fruit or vegetable. I only feed him if he wants it though, and he doesn't always want the whole container. I like that he is getting on more of a schedule now. He always has a nap in the morning and always has one in the afternoon.
I have to do my reading now, since classes are not canceled. :( I will try to post more next week, but I may not post anything since I have so much happening then. I have 2 papers due and 2 exams. Oh joy. Maybe I'll write something on Friday.
