August, Part 3: Dan's Twelfth Month

Oh, my sweet Daniel! Has it already been a year since you joined our family? Has the time gone by that quickly? My baby is getting so big! On the other hand, haven't you been with us forever? Could there possibly have been a time where you weren't around? I'm so grateful for this sweet boy. He was definitely worth the wait. He has brought me so much joy over the past year--especially since this year has been a hard one in many ways. He has definitely brought so much sunshine into my life.

Above: Don't let this guy's innocent look fool you. He's in the tub right now because he got his diaper off during nap time...and it was a poopy diaper...and it made a huge mess.

Above: Dad was out of town, of course, so mom took some pictures of Dan's messy crib to show him. I will spare you those pictures though and just leave it with pictures of my sweet little Dan.

Above: You can't stay mad at this kid for too long though.

Above: He knows it too! He's got everyone wrapped around his little finger!

Above: He is looking so big in his new pajamas.

Above: He's doing such a great job at standing.

Above: He loves his table toys that he can practice standing at and playing at the same time.

Above: It's too hard to choose just one picture.

Above: Look at those sweet chubby cheeks!

Above: Oooh! Look at that dimple!

Above: He looks so sweet. Big and little at the same time.

Above: This little guy is so fun-loving!

Above: Ha ha! This wide stance gives him a stronger standing foundation, I guess!

Above: I know I have tons of pictures of this guy in the tub, but he's just so cute when he is taking a bath!

Above: One of the reasons for all of the baths is how dirty this guy gets when he eats!

Above: He's crawling like a pro now!

Above: He still slobbers a bunch. I sure love him!

Above: Uh-oh. This guy figured out the perfect place to stick his finger.

Above: He's the best grocery shopping buddy ever.

Above: Look at this cute guy taking a knee.

Above: Morning snuggles are the best. Even if Mom looks crazy.

Above: Cutest BYU fan ever!

Above: I sure love this sweet one-year-old little boy of mine! I'm so glad he joined our family!
