Daniel is 2

 The youngest member of the Winter Family is now 2!

Daniel is slipping out of babyhood and becoming a little boy.

 Daniel continues to love playing soccer.

 This rough and tumble kid is an expert trampoline jumper.

You never know what a kid will get attached to, but Daniel did NOT want to let go of this zombie squirrel... but this is one battle I did not let him win.

 Daniel loves exploring and doing what all the big kids are doing.

 This cute kid runs the show in our home.  If he cries (and BOY does he have some LUNGS!), he has 4 attentive siblings to cater to his every whim.

 It is fun seeing his enthusiasm over new discoveries.

 He keeps us laughing with his sweet little self.

I love when I can watch him sleep... the only time he is ever still.

 Daniel got tacked on to his big brother, Silas's birthday party... because when you're 2 you don't know the difference :).  He had such a sweet smile when we sang him "Happy Birthday."

 Daniel loves a good ride in a swing (birthday buddies Silas and Daniel).

 On Daniel's actual birthday we were at the Botanical Gardens to see the scarecrow our homeschool art class made.  He had fun with his big brothers and friends (missing was his big sister who was sick).

These kids worked well together painting the pieces of our scarecrow modeled after Edvard Munch's "The Scream." (Well, not Daniel, but he did his part by napping during class time.)

 Daniel was fond of this alligator scarecrow.

 This boy is active and loving.  He knows what he wants and lets you know it.  He keeps mommy tired and his siblings laughing and on guard of their possessions.

Happy Birthday my Daniel Lazarus boy.
