Meet Daniel Jhanice Helsel - our new little boy

Doesn't he look just like his Mama?! Look at those eyes! Not only is he a darling, but clever too.

Although he is only two years old you'd swear by looking at him he's three - and he has the pants to prove it! (He's wearing 3T and I suspect soon will outgrow them)



He figured out the whole bubble making thing the first time. He decided he could do it all himslef (and pretty much did) including screwing and unscrewing the cap, and holding the wand up for us to blow too. The fun was over after he tilted the bottle a few too many times and we ended up with all the bubble juice on the rug. (Now they have a few extra clean spots!)

We've never seen a more curious little boy - he has to check everything out. (Then he puts them back exactly where he found them - now if he can only teach papa that trick!)

He loved the match box cars, especially taking them out of the bag, seperating them between mama and papa, then putting them back to do it all over again. To Sue's chagrin he has papa's tendencies though - forget the fluffy bunny, he seems fascinated with machines and electronics.

Finally he settled with a colorful book as his prized possesion for the day, and proudly showed it off to his care-taker as we left.
