If you choose to look at any post on this blog, please look at this one :)
When I saw pictures of kids with clefts, I pretty much just saw the cleft and not that baby. When I see Daniel not only do I love him to death because I'm his mommy, but I see an actual baby, not a birth defect. For this reason I have included some videos in this post so hopefully you can get a feel for who Daniel is and how stinkin' cute he is in person! :)
Here is a video of Daniel's lovely newborn cry. The green glow is coming from a special photo blanket/pad that helps with Jaundice. Daniel was under the biliruben lights for awhile, but he hated them so much that they had to use this blanket instead.
Daniel sleeping. He was so tired that you could lift his arms and they would flop right back down. :)
Daniel and Ryan hanging out on the couch:
Daniel in his "Play Gym." He enjoys being on his back so he can stretch, kick and wiggle. Looking up at his toys helps keep him entertained while he plays on his own

See? Isn't he even more adorable when you can see more than just a still shot? ;)
