With all the events of summer life, entertaining company, and just real life responsibilities I was kind of oblivious to Daniels half-birthday. (Shows what kind of mother I am) He is now 6 months old and loving life. He has just jumped in size and weight gain. He's thick around the middle and very dense. Daniel is sporting 5 pearly white teeth and loves to chomp down on anything he can get his hands on or any of his siblings curious little fingers. He also grinds his teeth all the time and just the sound of it makes my skin crawl. He still had those beautiful, big blue eyes like his daddy and I'm praying that they will stay blue.
He's quite the little Rolly-polly and can't hold still for a minute. It is truly amazing to me how STRONG he is - again something that he inherited from Heath, not me. He's got a grip like a bear and just getting him dressed is a workout.
All I know is that I'm in for crazy times ahead...Daniel loves to watch his siblings. He will laugh when they laugh, smile when Ellie sings to him and is pretty content to be around when they are having fun. But the thing that scares me is the way he watches Thomas. Daniel will just watch with his curious, inquiring eyes and his mischievous smile. I just know that he's taking it all in and memorizing every one of Thomas' moves.
All in all Daniel is a happy, loving little baby and a special part of our family.

He's so cute. Here's keeping my finers crossed that he's watching Thomas, thinking he'll go easy on you cause you will need a break once both the boys get older
boys are a whole different world. I never will forget the day Cera and Cleo went to school and it was just the boys home. Without a girls influence all of a sudden we morphed into boy world and those two have been in the thick of it ever since. Good luck. It truly is a kick to watch.
At least Mr. Thomas is a sweetheart too! I miss him and Ellie. I loved when he would take something from Ellie and let her chase him forever. He always got the biggest kick out of that. I can't believe how big Daniel is getting. Give all your babies a kiss and a hug from their favorite Auntie Sarah. Love y'all and miss y'all tons!!! I'm glad Tennessee is treating y'all so well though.
Don't feel bad for missing a half birthday! Seriously, the more kids you have, the more things you forget--and if you remembered that in the FIRST place, you deserve an AWARD!!! :) He's such a cutie!!!
