This has become a popular photo lately, so I thought I'd better post it. Dani enjoys watching the grass grow :)

Lots of pictures
I have been told that many of you visit this blog often, only to be disappointed by the same old posts. Certain family members, you know who you are, have been scolding me for weeks to get some more baby Dani pictures up. So, without further ado, here she is - a few pics then a brief update.
Since April, lots of new things have happened. Dani went to Utah to see lots of relatives up there. She had lots of fun and was astonishingly well behaved during the 26 hr car ride home.
We got this picture with Great Grandma Rock in Utah.
When Tanna went back to work in August, we wanted to find quality care for Dani but we couldn't keep asking g'mas to make the trip. We pondered and prayed and decided to ask at the institute for a student who would like to live with us and care for Dani a few hours each morning. Immediately we got a recommendation and Dani's newest friends, Jori and Joslyn have been a wonderful addition to our little family. The first day we left Dani with Jori, she started to crawl (thanks Jori!). Now she pulls herself up on the coffee table, sticks power cords in her mouth and plays with her reflection. She also picks up little peices of cereal and fruit and feeds herself, making her easy to keep busy at mealtimes. Today, for the first time, she leaned in and gave me a kiss. Well, you could call it a kiss, it felt more like a jet refueling mid-flight. She wobbled in my direction cautiously until she got close enough then stuck out her little tongue and planted it in my mouth. It was messy, but very cute.
I'll keep you guys posted. This weekend, were heading for the beach. I hope to take some good pictures and put them up soon. 'Till then, you can catch up on these.
Finally, Dani took her first bike ride this week, with her new pink bunny helmet (she's not committed to helmet safety just yet, but she'll learn).
