Daniel,

You have been such a joy.  You are so unique and I cant wait to tell you about the first few months.

In some ways you have been stubborn and challenging and in other ways you have been the cutest little guy and sunshine.

You would not let mommy and I sleep normally til you were about 7 months old.  You have the loudest cry ever and you are not afraid to use it.

Absoulutely love food.  you can never say no to milk or food.

You spit up milk and sometimes food when you eat it these early months.  Reflux

Wanted us to always hold you.  You would get mad when we put you down.

I think this is why you decided to start walking at 7 months and stand at 8.5 months.  You are always on the run.

I don't know what to do with you in the mornings.  I am afraid between the spitting up, feeding, diaper changes.  So I get you in bed and let you play around with me in your bed for 10 minutes, then we go to our bathroom and i change your diaper but I let you play on the changing table for 10 more minutes.  Then we go to the play room for 15 minutes, then breakfast, then i hold you upright for no spit up and we go and play more til you get annoyed then I take you outside.

You love to be outside.  Not so much of a home body.

You look like a doll.

You are very dense kid.  heavier than you look.

Amazingly beautiful eyes.

I call you Fatso.  "Used to call me Fatso, now you call me Castro"

I think you have a big butt

Mommy puts you to bed 85% of the time and showers you more than me.  I help out more in the morning first shift and we spend time together after work and on the weekends.  I am fortunate in that I work from home so i see you around the house during the workday and ill grab you.  my office desk faces your room and whenever the nanny takes you for a nap, she shows you to me and we make each other smile and then you go down.
