New Place to live

Update on our housing situation:
We didn’t end up buying the gorgeous condo from the last post after all, it was just too far away.  Instead we got an apartment right across the street from Eric’s building!  It takes him pretty much no time at all to walk to work.  Daniel and I especially like this apartment because Eric can come home for lunch EVERY day!!!  You can see our apartment on the right in the picture below and the building Eric works in is on the left…pretty sweet commute huh?

Here’s a video tour of our new place. (Eric chose the music to add a little dramatic effect)

Today Daniel found his new favorite food! Lisa’s Chili! It was a bit surprising because it was kind of spicy, but he just couldn’t get enough. Here is a picture:

Walking, Talking and Having Fun

Daniel’s been learning all sorts of new tricks!  Finally, the proof you’ve all been waiting for, Daniel can walk!  He’s been walking ever since we moved to Washington, he thinks he’s quite the expert.  Also ,he’s learned to open his treat container, reach in and feed himself.  We are now confident he can survive in the wild on his own.

Daniel walking and having fun with his Daddy

Daniel also learned a new word!  He’s been saying “mama” and “dada” for a while and now he says “Yuck!”  Last week Eric and I both had colds so there were tissues all over the house.  Daniel decided he wanted to play with a used tissue and whenever he touched it we’d take it away and say Yuck!  Now he thinks crumpled tissues are Yuck!  He also calls the cat yuck…

Sometimes in order to get Daniel to eat we turn on the webcam and let him watch himself.  He likes to wave to the screen and laugh at the camera’s special effects.
