On the 24th Jason turned 26 years old! He wasn't to happy about having to take a test on his birthday, but once that was over he was able to just relax and enjoy the rest of the day.
Our wonderful friends and Neighbors Chris, Jenny, Madison and Jordan brought these over to us after Daniels surgery(Thank YOU!), they are always thinking of him and our family. We are so lucky to have them be a part of our lives. Daniel just loves stuffed animals and when he finally put roo down to play with the cute little monkey they gave him, he was just singing and talking to it , well that is until he knew we were watching him. But his recovery is going very well, he's not completely himself yet, but he's still making us smile everyday.
Here we are post surgery, he wasn't the happiest little guy, but he sure was a little fighter, we spent about two hours in post op then we were able to go home, once we got home and Daniel finally got to eat he was able to settle down enough to finally go to sleep. 
Here is Daniel Pre-surgery, all dressed and ready to go.
When they are getting ready to take them back to the operating room they bring out these wagons and they get to go for a little wagon ride first, they also gave him some medicine to help him relax, it also helps him with his stranger anxiety. This is always the hardest part for me, handing him off to the nurses, and then all we can do is hope for the best. But everything went really smooth and this time we got to go home the same night.
Madison just loves Daniel, she is such a good little friend to him!
We all got together for the superbowl at Chris and Jenny's. Its fun watching the boys be boys!
Well he's not crawling yet, but were getting close. He rocks back and forth when he's on all fours but he needs just a little more strength in his arms to be able to to move, but each day were getting closer. 
Daniel just loves to stand, and we are glad he does too, he just can't get enough of it. But each day he getting stronger and stronger, I just can't believe how well he is doing. It seems like each day he's doing something new, one of his favorites things to do is to shake his head no at us, at first it was just him shaking his head at random times, now we think he understands what it means, whenever I tell him its bedtime he shakes his head no at me. Its cute right now but I know sometime down the road I won't think its so cute. 
Daniel had his first haircut, and boy did he need it, we couldn't believe how much she cut off, but he's looking stylin now. 
We rang in the new year with Chris and Jenny this year, we had fun just playing games.
This year we had Christmas up in Farmington with my parents, we had a great time just hanging out, playing games, and of course enjoying all the wonderful food. 
Daniel was'nt to interested in opening his presents, he just wanted to play all morning, but once the presents were open he really enjoyed playing with the wrapping paper.
