Memorial Day

On Monday, we had a lot of family over for a Memorial Day barbecue and Daniel loved meeting all of his Alexander relatives. Three of my aunts, two uncles, six cousins, two sisters, three boyfriends (of my sisters and cousin, not me), and my mom and dad were all part of the festivities. I think the little man had a lot of fun but he was definitely a tired buddy by the end of the day. He was a very good sport, being passed around to everyone. Good thing he's getting a lot of practice now because this is nothing compared to when we visit The Land of the Seven Grannies (aka Buffalo).

We figured out that the way to entertain Daniel is to roll a golf ball around on the wood floor. Fun for hours! And he never really got frustrated even though he couldn't quite grab the ball.

The transition to Wichita has been a little rough for Dan. I think he's just trying to get used to the time difference and the new bed and different people and surroundings. Plus he's turned into a drool/snot machine since his teeth are coming in. Night time is rough, especially for Mommy, but we'll figure it out. Probably just in time to go back to Hawaii, when we'll have to start all over!

Here's the little guy, playing with a toy that once belonged to Layne:
