After Daniel’s mid-afternoon meal, he can be a bit fussy.  Our new thing is to sit on the front porch or walk around in the front yard and wait for the mail.  Daniel enjoys the warmth, the breeze, looking at low hanging branches and listening to the birds.  All of these things are distracting and help him forget about fussing.

I just love Daniel’s little doggie PJs.  When he kicks his feet I say he’s walking the dogs.

Daniel looked through the deck door today at Sunny and Nymmie (two of our three kitties) who were getting some sun time.  Daniel grinned and talked to them.  We think he likes kitties.

When moisture gets to them, the hairs on the back of Daniel’s head flip up.  He may have inherited Mama’s curls.

Enough of that.  Please put my clothes on now.

This is a great time for persons of above average intelligence to be alive. 

After several comments on how heavy Daniel had gotten, I decided to try to weigh him by weighing myself with and without him on some fairly consistent scales.  Using that method he now weighs 11 pounds 6 oz.  That wouldn’t surprize me at all based on how much heavier he feels.

Here’s the little porker completely out sleeping in his new Moses basket.

Pop and Mimi got Daniel a Moses basket.  It was supposed to come a month ago, but didn’t.  🙁  We certainly could have used it a month ago.  But we will use it for whatever time we can.  Daniel seems to like it.

After Pop put the stand together and put Daniel in the basket, Daniel really studied Pop for a long time.

When I put Daniel in it for the first time asleep, he pinched the soft sheet in his fingers.

Great Uncle Gene came by for a visit.  I’m not sure Daniel ever knew he was there.  He was sleeping pretty deep at the time.
