Today our Daniel turns 3. Daniel was 6 days late so I was set to be induced on 10/10. As I woke in the morning my water broke before I left for the hospital. 10/10 was meant to be his birthday. We arrived at 7am and he was born about 5 hours later. All 9.11 pounds of him. You should have seen my mid-wife's face when they weighed him. He looked like a 3 week old baby. He's been chubby ever since. In true blog fashion, we dedicate this one to Daniel. What I Know God is good Daniel is a thinker Daniel is a cuddler Daniel is a chucker Daniel didn't walk until 17 months He substitutes "w" for "L" (i.e. lizard is pronounced wizard) We could not get him to say his name for the longest time. Now he talks in the third person. He repeats every 3rd word of any conversation he hears Daniel likes drawers and doors closed when possible What I Don't Know Where Daniel got his red hair from What Daniel will be when he grows up How tall he will be Why he never climbed out of his crib Daniel's Favorite Activities Cleaning and flushing the toilet Listening to CD's in the van Playing in the sink Pushing alligator (elevator) buttons cooking food Stomping newly made sandcastles Standing in the fridge saying "ummmmm..." Daniel's Favorite things Me Cranes (the kind that build things, not the bird) The moon books His best friend big sister Allie (he always says Allie girl, never just Allie) Nicknames Daniel, DK, Danny and Buddy Boy Best phrases "Ma doing?" "I flush the potty?" "Where's the coka-roach?" "Daniel come too" "Oh my goodness" "I be right back" Aloha~ Never in a million years would I have dreamed of a red haired, blue eyed boy. God has a sense of humor, no one will ever believe you were born in Hawaii. You are smart, detail-oriented, tidy and such a cuddle bug. Especially this year, you have brought us unspeakable joy. A blessing you are to our family. Happy birthday Daniel, we love you to your moon and back.
