Daniel is 5 1/2

 Daniel turned 5 a while ago, so we are playing catch-up on the birthday blog :)

Daniel loves playing with his cousins; he and Rachel (of similar age) especially have a good time.

The cousins come up to our house one day a week, so we celebrated Daniel's birthday with them while they were here. 

For his birthday gift, Daniel wanted Steve's Diamond armor (minecraft). He wore it for about a week straight!

Daniel is Mama's Boy. He snuggles with me and loves being together. As the youngest, he gets my lap to sit in (sorry to all my other children who got kicked out by the next baby!).

Daniel is so good natured. He stays positive and upbeat. He wants to be a help and follow the rules.

It has been fun to see Daniel gain confidence to step away from Mommy a bit. He loves going to Ninja Warrior classes. He is a pro at the trapeze bars!

We shared minecraft brownies with our church to finish celebrating Daniel's 5th birthday!
