Since we have a lot a Daniel things like the play pen, jumper and activity center crammed in our living room, we went with a small Christmas tree.  Papa said, “It’s still bigger than Daniel.” Uncle Kenneth hand carved and painted all these wooden ornaments for Daniel.  He even carved a box with a sliding top to keep them in.  It looks like Daniel is going to have a big Christmas.

In this first video, Daniel is playing with his Bunny with a few sound effects. He turns his attention to the tags on Teddy a couple of times.

In this second video, Daniel is playing with the charm ball that was his Mama’s. Mama never cared much for it, but Daniel loves it.

Poppy and Mimi cleaned up Mama’s old play pen and Mammy made custom fit quilts for it.  Daniel took right to it!

Today we had a momentous occasion.  Daniel just had his last dose of Zegerid, the medicine he’s been taking for acid reflux for the past five months.  Half of that time has been spent reducing it to try to get him off of it.  It’s been a tough road, and we will probably have a few more rough days before we are through, but things are just going to get better after that.

Great Uncle Gene visited Daniel today. The first time Gene came, Daniel slept through the entire visit.

You’ve got to love the snorts in these laughs.

Lately Daniel has discovered jumping.  He has to have assistance, and at 19 pounds, it can really wear a person out.  Poppy and Mimi got Daniel this new Music & Motion Activity Jumper by Baby Einstein.

Daniel’s fourth tooth finally broke through, so felt well enough to try something new. 

Daniel at seven months has already filled out his nine month sized PJs, so Mimi did some internet shopping and got him some twelve month sized PJs by Sozo. They all have cute things on the bottom related to the theme. Tonight’s PJ was a chicken. The stuff on the bottom is even cuter when Daniel is asleep in his crib with his bottom sticking up!
