This weekend was the annual Watermelon Festival. Dad has been growing melons for several years now , but this year was special. Dad won Reserve Grand Champion Watermelon and Daniel won Reserve Grand Champion. Dad's melons pretty much swept all the awards for the melons that he grows. We are so proud. Here's a few pictures of Daniel at the Festival...
MMMM Watermelon.....
Mommy and Daniel
Daniel just couldn't resist taking his own bite...

Here is a picture taken on Father's Day ....As big as Daniel is he can still get his toes to his mouth.
This is before we got all of our top teeth. Isn't he just too cute for words.
Here's a newer picture. The outfit is an 18 month outfit he's wearing 2 days before his 7month birthday.
His shirt says I'm definitely up to something.

Daniel Update

Here are a few pics of Daniel.

Just lounging....This is an outfit Grammy got Daniel in San Diego
Here is what we do in the middle of the night...eat our monitor...time for it to move out of the bed
Too cute...he did this all on his own!

I'm so excited to share my good news...I have a new job teaching in my hometown!!!!!!!!! Yeah!!! No more drive!!!! :) I will be 4 min away from home and 3 blocks from Daniel. I'm so excited. Daniel is 7 months old...my how time flies. He is working on more teeth. Two more top teeth are trying to make there appearance.
He is eating about a jar and a half of baby food each night. He is still a vegetable man, but is starting to like a few fruits. He loves peas, carrots, and green beans. He will eat applesauce, peaches and bananas. His Papa really wants him to like watermelon, but right now that's a no. He tries really hard to get away from it. Well all for now.

I just wanted to post a few pics of Daniel.


Okay the first is not Daniel. That's socks our cat. He likes Daniel's things. He like to get in Daniel's things. For a long time he would sleep in Daniel's high chair. Now that Daniel is using his high chair, Socks won't sit in it. I guess baby food stinks to cats. :)
This is Daniel's pout!
Here's Daniel about 5 seconds later....
This is Daniel in Daddy's hat.
Here is Daniel in his rocking chair. A very special friend gave us this rocking chair!! Thanks Mrs. Linda!!!!!

We went for Daniel's shots on Wednesday. He is 20 lbs and 6 oz and 29 1/4 inches long. We needed our six month shots. Last time at our 4 month they were out of the Hib. This time they were out of it too. They had plenty of shots for Sooner Care patients, but none for insured. Now don't get me wrong, I am all for kids getting everything they need no matter what choices their parents make. I think it's great that we have Sooner Care. But why are they "punishing" those with insurance. Daniel was already 2 months behind. We could choose to continue getting behind in hopes that the clinic would get more shots (by the way, my Dr. was very upset with the situation) or we could go to the Health Department and get his Hib. We chose to go to the Health Department. Poor Daniel had to go through the shot process again. Sometimes it seems that you are punished for doing things right. It just gripes me.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Daniel is sitting up. He has six teeth, four on top and two on bottom. He enjoys carrots, green beans, applesauce, and is starting to eat squash. He loves to eat! He is starting to talk more and can almost say Mama! Scott and I are very happy parents!
