Wow...time has flown by!

Today was one of those days when it really hit me that time was flying by so fast. I was in the kitchen washing bottles this morning while Darryl was taking a nap and I couldn't believe how normal everything felt...when Darryl first came it seemed like life was in chaos. I wondered if I would ever feel like my normal self again and not a crazy new mom who didn't know what she was doing. But Darryl, God is so good and He has taught me so much through you. I am humbled every day by how blessed I am to have you in my life.

I feel like I say this every blog post but you are getting so big! You have really started to interact with people and with your toys. You love peek-a-boo and often giggle when we play. It is the sweetest sound in the world! Last night you were entertaining the whole room as Roger Fite talked to you in his donald duck voice at dinner. You were cracking up and it was so sweet! Everyone wanted to hold you. I'll post pics soon.

You are also grabbing your toys really well! I love holding your monkey in front of you and you will look at it with this really concentrated face before you grab it and hold onto it (and normally you immediately put it in your mouth :).

One of your favorite things to do now is to "stand up". We are getting really good arm muscles from holding you up where you feel like your standing. Today, Chris and I put you in your walker for the first time and you loved it! I couldn't believe how big you looked in it and how much you played with the toys that are attached to it. We let you wheel around in the kitchen and at one point you just stopped and laughed because you saw your reflection in the stove. That sound alone can melt my heart.

One of my favorite things is to drive you around in my car. We put a mirror on the backseat so that we can see you and so you can see yourself. You LOVE it. I love driving around town listening to you talk to yourself and then seeing that sweet face in the mirror. You love to talk to everyone. Especiallly any of the Smiths, you looovvvvee them! At Courtney's graduation party you got passed around, but truly smiled when you were in the arms of your Ann or your Courtney. It was really sweet!

You are so amazing!! More to come!
