16? Surely Not.

Daniel turned 16 months old this week, and this dear old mom forgot to post.  So, a couple of days late, here is what Daniel has been up to this past month:

In His 16th Month, Daniel:

Really enjoyed "squeaker" shoes.

showing off,

and telling every person we passed, "Hey!"

Daddy left us a note the morning he started,

loved the fountains at the Streets of Indian Lake,

and
