Daniel at 4 and 7 months...

I cannot believe that Daniel will soon be five... In some ways it's wonderful to see him so "grown up", each time more independent, learning to read and write, and yet at the same time it makes us sad to think that that small baby, that wobbling toddler, that smaller little boy, is no longer here. Time has really flown by! But we have enjoyed Daniel so much over these past 5 years and cherished every phase and stage he has gone through (well, except for maybe the sleepless first few months...). We tell him almost every day that he is our miracle boy, a true gift from God. He really is!

Here are some special close-ups of Daniel just the other day, and some of him being tickled (which he loves!). I don't ever want to forget his sweet, joyful and innocent smile which we are so blessed to experience often, every day.

Daniel, papai and mamae love you SO much! And as I just told you tonight, our love for you is as far as we are from the heavens!
