His favorite things to do are: jam to music, play with anything electronic, and open/close doors (cupboards, doors, lids, etc.). Lately he also enjoys clapping. He walks around pretending he is talking on the phone.

Explanation of following posts:
The next few pictures are a tour of our downstairs. I will post pictures of the upstairs later. I also missed the half bath downstairs - oh well.
Then there are lots of pictures! Sorry to put them all in at once. Thereare pictures of my family visiting, Daniel opening presents from them. Also random pictures of Daniel and pictures of him with Ben.
Enjoy!
Our New Love Seat
Of course, the couch looks the same except longer. There is only one ottoman. It is sage colored microfiber, and was the cheapest set we could find. It looked more green in the store, but I still like them looking gray. I think it is the lighting.
Piano/Dining Area
Our lovely free piano - Yay!!
The piano bench is by the table (in case you were wondering)
Our New Kitchen
Ben cooking
A dishwasher - Yay!!!
All stainless steel appliances - not that I care, plain black would have been fine .
More Daddy Time
Daniel squats all the time when he plays. I guess Ben used to do that when he was Daniel's age. Maybe that is why his gluts and thighs are so big - lol.
Ben teaching Daniel how to use the remote.
Daniel likes to do what daddy is doing.
Shark Jammies
I just LOVE these Jammies Daniel got from Marilee Capel. I have been waiting for when he would fit them.

Daniel's Hair
So, I don't know what color Daniel's hair is. It is... brown, blond, red. I guess you could say it is strawberry blond. On the form for the YMCA to watch daniel it asks for his hair color - I put, "brown?"
Living in Montana!
So, the last few posts were showing my mom how to post pictures on a blog. She is working on a blog of her own. I showed her how to do it when the family visited this last weekend. It was really fun to have them here. The only bad thing is that we got Montezuma's Revenge super bad after eating at Perkins.
So far we love living in Billings. The people here seem really nice, it is very conservative (which is good :) , and we already have friends in the ward. The other day (yesterday) I was carrying Daniel and pushing the cart from Walmart at the same time. It was really difficult, but it was freezing and snowy so I was covering Daniel with a blanket - or I would of just had him ride on the cart. A nice man that was with his wife offered to push my cart to my car. I really appreciated it!! He even offered to put away the groceries, but I told him he had done enough. I will never forget his kindness - that he noticed someone in need around him.
Ben enjoys his co-workers and boss they are very patient and friendly. and he enjoys doing his job (haleluya).
We really LOVE our apartment. It is very roomy and nice. There seems to be a perfect spot to fit all of our stuff. We really feel at home and at peace here. We feel like it is the beninning of a new life. We have already begun to be more productive people here. We read our scriptures more, enjoy being at church more, and exercising regularly at the YMCA. I taught Ben how to play raquet ball, and he loves it. We also have a kick-boxing class where we get to punch and kick bags! :) Yay!! That is one of my favorite cardio workouts.
Daniel also enjoys the extra space to run around. he seems happier here too - he even eats more.
Basically we are just really happy with our circumstances here.

Crazy Hair!
Sometimes when Daniel wakes up from a nap, his hair is wild! I really do need to cut it soon! It also doesn't help that our couch is really staticky - it's wierd cause the love seat isn't - I don't know why.
