So, in an effort to keep up my end of the bargain, I am again blogging on Friday night.
An update on Daniel first.......
We can add the following to the list of foods that he has tried: yam, applesauce. He actually really likes the yams. He ate two "helpings" the first time we gave it to him. For the applesauce we put just a little in with his oat cereal. He seemed to like it, but we think it might have made him break out, so we are going to lay off for a few days and then try again on that one.

And an update on my week...............
The week started off with more conference call/online demos. I am still in the process at work of trying to find some scheduling software to help make my life a lot easier. I am working with the two people who schedule in Salt Lake for Temple Square. We also have a Business Analyst that has been part of the team. We finally have it narrowed down to the last two. We have a "live" online trial for one of them currently, and the other one should have a "live" trial for us Monday or Tuesday of next week. On top of 3 or 4 Conference calls this past week I also had 5 Production Meetings for upcoming events. And, to add one more thing, I had someone from the Finance department come out to do an internal audit. Mostly he just followed me around for the day and asked questions about what I do and how things work. He seems to think that he gathered valuable information. He did have a few things that we discussed that might be able to help me out if we can get any of them to come through.
I now have 7 Steinway Grand pianos in the building getting ready for the piano competition that is taking place next week. The total value of these pianos is probably somewhere in the neighborhood of $600,000 or more. I just hope that none of the members (mostly the youth) decide that it would be a good idea to carve something into these expensive pianos since we showed up a few weeks ago and discovered that someone thought it would be a good idea to carve "I love Jesus" and "Ne 2:11" into one of the pianos.
February is one of the craziest times of the year for me. Almost as busy and crazy as Christmas time if you can believe that. Hopefully things will start slowing down a little about the end of March. We'll see. We are closing the building down beginning May 1 this year during the week while they work on a new roof and some seismic upgrades. I think as a result everyone is trying to cram everything they can into the first few months of the year and the weekends during the summer. I also have my first requests already for February of 2011.

I would like to take this time to throw a few "shout outs" if you can call them that.
Happy Birthday Kendra!!
Happy Birthday Isaac!!
Until next week.

Daniel at 6 Months
So we took Daniel in for his six month check-up today. Here are the stats:
Height: 26 inches - 35th Percentile
Weight: 16 lbs 13 oz - 30th Percentile
Head: 14.5 CM - 5-0-75th Percentile
What can I say about the little guy. He seems to really like to just sit back and take everything in. He doesn't really talk much, but he really likes to make sounds (sound effects more). He seems to try and copy Hannah sometimes. He is sitting up on his own and has been for a couple of weeks now. He still falls over occasionally, but I think that is to be expected. He can roll from his front to back and can almost go from back to front, though he doesn't do it very often. He hates his tummy, so we have a hard time putting him on it....and Hannah always seems to maul him every time we put him down.
His growth has tapered off quite a bit, but he is still healthy so there aren't any real concerns there. We have started feeding him "solids" recently. He didn't really like the homemade rice cereal so we switched to oats. He seems to like that pretty good, at least until we ruined him by mixing banana in with it. He has eaten banana, and corn. Hasn't had any reaction that we can tell. The Doctor did suggest that we up it from once per day to at least 3 times per day though. That will probably get him growing more rapidly again.
**************************************************************************************************
I know that we have been total slackers on the whole blogging thing lately. I have a really good excuse....just let me come up with it.
Seriously though, we were without the laptop for nearly two months after the hard drive failed. Luckily I had backed it up about a week before and we didn't lose any of the really important stuff (pictures). However, it made it much more difficult to blog even though we have another computer because that would've required going into the "office" to use the desktop, and that just didn't happen.
We have about 1,500 photos on our memory card that we need to get uploaded, so we will hopefully be adding some pictures soon.
The Holidays were great. A lot of partying and travel. We were exhausted by the time we got into the second week of January. Things have finally slowed down some, but we have Valentine's and My Birthday coming up in the next two weeks, so we'll see how things go.
One of my goals for this year is to start (as of right now) blogging approximately once per week at the very minimum. That way no one can complain that they don't know what is going on or that we never update the blog.
