Upside Down

I know the picture is blurry, but I love that you can tell he's smiling. He's been able to put in his binkie by himself for weeks now, but more often than not he puts his binkie in upside down. His already perky cheeks get an extra little pick-me-up.

Daniel and Reid Daniel

We loved having Grandma and Grandpa Cornish and Uncle Reid with us for the first two weeks of July. Reid was excited to have his little namesake around. He mentioned more than once that little Daniel was handsome just like him (Reid) :-) It will be fun for these two to get to know each other in the future.

Bouncing Baby Boy

Kate asked about 2 weeks ago to get in Daniel's crib when I was putting him to bed. As soon as she was in there Daniel stated giggling. Then she started jumping and I thought Daniel was going to burst he was laughing so hard. It's one of their favorite activities now. Kate holds into the end and jumps like crazy all the while her head is cranked around trying to watch Daniel bounce and laugh.

Projects

We made a Home Depot run to get materials for some projects we're each working on. Apparently Tyler got all tuckered out and needed a ride :-)

     

Ready to Ride!

Daniel is ready for our evening bike ride. We've taken the little ones out several times in the bike trailer.  They quite enjoy it.  The trailer has a roll-bar (I think that's what it's called) and they are strapped in.  So they're quite safe.  But I still worry.  We got this helmet for Kate, which she usually wears, but today we tried it on Daniel.  He actually didn't make our very far with the helmet on because it would fall into his face.  (P.S. I love this photo... absolutely love this boy.)

Power Tools

Since Matt got his shop all set up several months ago, he has loved (I repeat, love-ed!) having a place to work.  He has slowly been increasing his tool inventory according to projects that we've undertaken.  He was driving down the road and saw a pile of palettes with a sign that they were free for the taking. So we went back later that evening and brought home a bunch. I'd like to learn how to use his tools, and he's more than happy to teach me. This is me using the circular saw for the 1st time. The Aloha shirt was being used as an apron... of sorts.

Double Duty

Several times lately I have been feeding Daniel his bottle when I'd hear a funny slurp.  I'd look down and see that he had both his thumb and the bottle in his mouth.  I laugh every time!  Funny little guy (well... funny unless he ends up being a thumb-sucker).
