Mothers Day Weekend

We have had an eventful and fun Mother's Day Weekend! Thursday, Mom flew into town and stayed a couple of days with us. She had so much fun playing with baby Darryl! He was all smiles and even laughed at the owl toy that she was playing with! It was so adorable. Everytime she would pull the string to make it vibrate he would crack up. He's not quite full on belly laughing yet, but he definately has a cute little giggle going on! I can't wait to hear his first big true laugh! I wonder what it will sound like....maybe we will get to see this week... His great grandma Thelma got to come in today and he just laughed and played with her all day!

Another thing we think we will see this week is Darryl turn over from his back to his tummy. He got SO close tonight! He was chewing on his owl toy (can you see a pattern? It's definately his favorite toy... thank you Rigdons!) and I took it from him and sat it a little ways away. I was over at his grandma Kim's house and we watched as he twisted and turned and tried to roll over again and again for 30 minutes! At one point, he technically got all the way over but his arm got stuck so he flipped back onto his back! We were laughing so hard because everytime he would get close we would start screaming GO GO GO! And our hearts were racing so fast! I think it might happen soon...

Darryl has done really well on his sleeping at night so we are starting to back up the latest time that we feed him. Normally, we would do his last feeding of the day at 11 p.m. then we backed it up to 10:30, and now we are doing it at 10. Our goal is to get him to where we feed him his last bottle at 9 p.m. and put him in bed because we think thats what his bedtime will be since Chris and I are out and about so much. He's been sleeping really well except for there have been several nights where he will randomly wake up at 5 a.m., scream, and then go right back to sleep if I put his pacifier back in his mouth. Hopefully its just a phase and will be over soon! But even still, its much better then when we had to feed him at night so we are thankful that those days are hopefully over!

I can't believe that tomorrow (or I guess technically today) is my first Mother's Day! I'm so excited!!!!
