Daniel is ALMOST crawling

Daniel will get on his hands and knees and bring one knee forward and then...start to crawl backwards. He can crawl backwards, roll, go from lying down to sitting up, and all other things. But he hasn't grasped the concept of crawling forward, and I think it makes him frustrated. He still manages to go from one side of the room to another.

Today Daniel is at Travis's house and I am going to summer school later today. I'm not really looking forward to school, but I am happy that I am going to get some more classes out of the way.

Also, Daniel has been babbling up a storm! He can say "mama" and "dada" and "baba" and lots of other sounds too. I don't think he knows that mama and dada mean anything, so I don't think I should count them as his first words. He does try very hard to talk though. He will make a very serious face and start babbling at you as though you are supposed to understand what he is saying. I pretend I do though, and I respond to him. :)

Since the last entry, I've taken Daniel to the baby storytime at the library near my house. He likes it okay, but he isn't really interested in paying attention to a story. I'm sure he'd rather eat the book than read it. Despite that, I've been going to the library about once a week and getting a few children books to read to him. SOMETIMES he will pay attention...for about 5 minutes.

We have also gotten Daniel a new chair so that he can watch his favorite shoe, Yo Gabba Gabba! I know that I shouldn't condone watching TV, but he will sit still and be quiet for quite a while, which is really nice for me. When he gets a little older, I will only turn the TV on when I need to get ready to go somewhere or when I need to get some chores done. 

I really need to start a photo album or something. These days we can put all of our pictures on the computer, but I really want to decorate an album and have it so I can keep it forever. 

Well, I'd better go get things ready for school. I was trying to put a picture of Daniel in his chair on here, but it will only let me put it on sideways. :( I'll put it on Facebook for everyone to see.
