DDD December 28 and Daniel Update!

Yesterday was Daniel's 17 month birthday! Here is a little update on
his growth and development.

As you can see, at this age he has improved balance and spends a lot
of time running or dashing on tip-toe from place to place. He enjoys
brushing the 16 teeth he has grown over the past five months, and he
often shows us those teeth in a very silly smile. Daniel says many
words, but he knows more words than he can say. He can point at most
objects, body parts, animals, foods, etc when asked, "'Where is
the..." and he enjoys being read to and reading to himself. He
continues to enjoy drinking from sip cups, taking long baths, and
dancing to music. He has improved in table manners and enjoys more
foods than before, but his favorite foods are muffins, yogurt, and
sweets. He usually takes one 2 hour nap each day, but sometimes needs
two naps. He sleeps about 12 hours at night and wakes up in a good
mood. Some of his other favorites include watching Ernie, playing
puzzles, drumming, and listening to people talk to him on the cell
phone. He prays each evening with his father and loves fo find Baby
Jesus in the nativity scenes. He is currently recovering from his
first stomach flu, but has had a very healthy 17 months of life!
