Managed to get Daniel to sit still just long enough to get a couple cute snaps.

Ahh, Christmastime... that time of year when Daniel picks the Christmas tree bare and bounces the ornaments in the foyer. They do bounce quite nicely, though they're not as unbreakable as advertised. I can't wait until next year when Daniel will undoubtedly show Claire how this is done and then we'll have two ornament-tossers tossing ornaments.

Daniel is now two and a half. This is somehow the same as, yet completely different from being 30 months old.

The first three were actually taken on Halloween. Didn't get much so we did some more after the fact. It's not quite the first time we've done pictures for some kind of holiday or festive event on some other day than the day of. Without the Yoda ears he does a pretty decent Obi Wan.

Oh, he seems to have added a new and exciting word to his vocabulary... "no". We're so thrilled....

We took him to an indoor playground at the fancy mall and now he's snotty. I'm sure there's no correlation.

We were taking Claire's 3 month pictures and grabbed Daniel for a bit. For once he actually stayed on his mark and performed. I'm impressed.
