Daniel loves to play with toilet paper.  He likes to tear off little pieces and tear them smaller and smaller.  Here he has a little collection of his tiny toilet paper pieces on top of the toilet seat.

Since Daniel can’t have eggs, sugar or chocolate, the Easter Bunny left him a big carrot.

This is Daniel first discovering his carrot.

He likes the carrot tail.

He looks pretty serious posed with his carrot.

Daniel had a slow start this morning.  He says Mama asking to be picked up.

This is a four minute video of Daniel playing with his new trumpet and carrot.  Anything that is taken to the stool is a much treasured toy.   Toward the middle of the video Daniel starts “chirping”.

Mimi and Poppy gave Daniel his Easter gifts today.  His favorite were these stacking cups.

They also gave him this little trumpet.

He loved the tissue paper.  He likes to tear off little pieces of paper and tear them as small as he can.

Their musical Easter card to Daniel.

You might have noticed the “foo” Daniel has in some of his pictures.  It’s not a traditional foo, but rather the nipple and ring from a bottle.  He has a whole assortment of actual foos, but this one is the one he prefers.  When he has it in his mouth, it gives an interesting view of his teeth.

Daniel gave his Kiwi several big bear hugs today.

Daniel was quiet and off to a slow start this morning.  He switches between quiet play with his block on the stool and laying his head on a pillow on the floor.

I enjoyed my night-time surveillance of little Daniel’s room so much the other day that I just had to do it again. And again. And again. In fact, here’s a week’s worth of againing (but please forgive the crummy midnight narration):

Papaw came to visit Daniel today.  Daniel was really working on his molars today so didn’t part with his foo and didn’t crack a smile.

When I just went in to get Daniel after his nap, I found Daniel smiling and standing in his crib, and an escapee Bunny laying in the floor in front of the crib.  Daniel looked puzzled when I laughed out loud.

Papa and Mama have a lot of gizmos and Daniel thinks he needs them.  So Mama got Daniel his own phone so that he can have his own gizmo.
