Daniel turned two on Sept 14th. We decided to hold his birthday two weeks previously because the weather was so good. We hired a bouncy castle and all the usual family and friends were there to celebrate with us on the day. I'm glad we pulled the party forward because it rained constantly on the actual day of his birthday - not like last year when we could spend the day on the beach.
It's hard to believe how much he has changed in the last year. He is as handsome as ever of couse, but he is also a walking, talking worldwind. He thinks he is the able to do everything that Grace can like climbing walls and jumping off them. He has over 150 words. My heart gets stuck in my throat when he is on a slide because he just launches himself off them.. He is also so independant. The constant refrain in our house is "Daniel do it" He is adept at putting on his socks and shoes and most of his clothes. He has also started climbing out of his cot and knocking on his bedroom door saying "Mommy, let Daniel out" It looks like we will be buying a big boys bed sooner rather than later. I think he has all his teeth now. He won't allow me to check but when I turn him upside down and tickle him so that he opens his mouth real wide it looks like they are all there. He uses them occaisionally to bite. Poor Grace has a mark on his chest that you could take a full impression of his teeth from :-( She usually gives him as good as she gets but I really felt sorry for her when I saw what he had done. He's so cute when he's telling her he's sorry. He loves to sit at the dining room table and colour with her, though there is fierce competition over who makes the better artwork.
