Getting close...

Danny is not crawling yet, but he's getting so close. Once he overcomes his "fear" of leaning forward enough to untuck this second leg, he's going to be gone. He currently gets into pre-crawling position from sitting up, but won't go that extra inch to get himself on all fours.

Thumb Sucker McGhee

Have I mentioned Danny being a thumb sucker? The boy LOVES his thumb. It's literally in his mouth all the time. I mean remove from his mouth to insert arm in his PJs and then right back in his mouth it goes. Remove to put arm through car seat strap and then right back in it goes. He even sucks on it the whole time he's in the bath. It's pretty cute now, but maybe hard to break down the road? One day at a time...

Happy New Years!

Cheers to a happy and healthy 2013! I'm not ashamed to admit that this is a scheduled post and we're currently sleeping away in our beds. 2012 decided to show us who's boss and gave Danny (and now us) a mild case of the flu. Luckily Jimmy and I are feeling good enough to have a glass of bubbly to ring in the new year... 

Dressed up for the occasion

This looks yummy!

Operation Spoil Danny: Part 4

Our fourth and final Christmas was at my mom's place back in Carolina Beach. In typical fashion, Nana made sure to keep the holiday spirit alive until the very end. We played games, ate lots of good food and opened an absurd amount of presents. It was such a wonderful end to Danny's first Christmas...and then Danny came down with a fever and cough :(

Little sickie cuddling

In better spirits...

Now Danny can go on bike rides with us!

Still looking a little sick

Love you to the moon Nana

Thanks for everything mom!

Operation Spoil Danny: Part 3

After a long and rather fussy 7 hour drive, we were in Newland, NC for Part 3! Danny got to see my Grandma and take part in his first inaugural fondue dinner. We also continued to eat well and get lots of good gifts. See a common theme? We even got to see a little snow. Woo hoo!

First fondue

Happy little family

Love you G-pa

Thanks for everything Dad & Beth! Danny loves his new toys! Stay tuned for Part 4...

Operation Spoil Danny: Part 2

Part 2 of Operation Spoil Danny commenced at Dan and Marisol's. Uncle Jamie and his gang came over and we had a wonderful dinner and post-dinner shenanigans. Danny and Connor loved every minute of it. Dan and Marisol proceeded to spoil us all again with awesome gifts! We are truly one lucky family!

Baskets of books!

Operation Spoil Danny: Part 1

Part 1 of the Christmas festivities took place in Riva, MD at Martha and Ron's. There was lots of presents, lots of food and, at times, lots of people! It was a blast. Martha and Ron, per usual, spoiled us all. Here's a few pics...

Excited about the events to come
