Danielpalooza in California

I went to Jan Robert and Lia's wedding in San Diego last weekend, and it was a blast. In case you weren't aware, seersucker is coming back. As a single, eligible guy I got to go to the bachelor party on Thursday. There are no pictures of that to protect the guilty.


We got to do some sightseeing around San Diego, and this is me with the goats at the Wildlife experience. I also really liked the zoo and hanging out at the hotel pool.


But my favorite tourist attraction was the USS Midway, where I got my own audio tour just like mom and dad, and got to practice driving F14s around the flight deck.

Zoe was at the wedding, and she kissed me, which all the grownups thought was cute.

Oh, I turned 15 months old in the last week, and today I went off to the pediatrician to be poked, prodded and measured. I'm still a short skinny guy with a big head. My weight places me in the 6th percentile, my height at the 40th and noggin is in the 70th percentile. The doctor says not to worry about being thin - that I'm "perfect" and that it beats being overweight.

What else is new? Well, I'm cruising around furniture with a lot more confidence, and I've been pushing my turtle and wagon around. I seem to pick up a couple of new words every day, but when I don't have any adults to impress, I speak my own language that goes something like "blabblelabblelabblenah!"

Later this week, I take the Daniel show to Europe, where we'll be touring major venues in Norway and Sweden, with brief stops in Frankfurt and Amsterdam. I'll be flying in a lay-flat bassinet again, while the parents tough in out in economy class.

That's about it for this time.

Love, D.
