Summer Update

It's July already - next week is Daniel's first birthday! This year has been so full (in a good way), and so fast. Nathan's parents flew into Calgary today, and we are anticipating their company next Saturday. We've been pointing at our family photo for the last few months with Daniel, so he is used to hearing their names. Probably too young for recognition, but you never know - he can sometimes point to the correct body part, although he thinks his belly is at chest-level, and the default location for most body parts is his mouth! Daniel knows which toy is the bus, car, mower, and can give appropriate sound effects. Last week he started walking, and is getting better every day. He as also started sleeping much better at night. Last night he slept from 8-6.30am straight (although that could be due to his 4 immunizations yesterday).
On the study front, Nathan is hard at work writing assignments (even as I type). Some nights he's been up past midnight, but he has a tight schedule. Hopefully the majority will be completed by the end of next week.
I've started applying for jobs, and I need to do that a little more seriously. I'm looking at administrative positions. I'm hoping to start in the next month, although I haven't got anything organised for Daniel's care yet.
