We went to Roswell last weekend to see our nephew (and godson!) baptized. He was such a champ - he didn't even cry when the priest poured water on his head! He looked so ridiculously cute in his baptismal outfit, but then again, he looked cute all weekend. He just learned to roll over from his tummy to his back and kept getting stuck on his tummy, a place he didn't like to be. We'd flip him back on his back, and he'd flip over again, making himself mad each time. It's hard to remember when Daniel was that little!
Daniel enjoyed playing with everyone. Aunt Pam & Uncle Josh have really cool toys at their house, so he's usually pretty happy. My sister also cooked amazing food all weekend - thanks, Pam! Daniel had fun going to the park with Grandma and playing ball with her and Baxter (the dog). He had his first donut with Grandpa (a pink frosted cake one) and loved it. He wanted a donut after every single meal and didn't let us forget it!
He worked the crowd with his newest jokes:
How do ducks learn to fly? - They just wing it! (courtesy of Aunt Cristi)
What is a duck's favorite snack? - Quackers! (that one's mine)
And his newest.....
How do you make a tissue dance? - Put a little boogie in it! (courtesy of Aunt Pam)
He was plain rotten for most of Sunday - he's not a good traveler - and threw several good-sized fits for everyone to see. Fun! Then we had the 5-hour trip ahead of us, which I thought would be miserable, but he did pretty well. We planned ahead to stop at a McDonald's in Snyder because they're one of the few places with play centers along that road. Daniel was so excited to go to "Old McDonald's" that he talked about it for a good hour and a half before we got there and kept asking, "Is this Snyder?" We finally got there, went in to use the potty, and came out to see them closing the play center! Are you kidding me???!!! I prepared for a meltdown......and Daniel actually handled it extremely well. We were so happy with him that we gave him a chupa chup when we got back in the car.
I'll add pics from the trip when I can!
