Victory!!!

After trying and trying for almost a month now, Darryl finally rolled over from his back to his tummy!! It was so exciting because both Chris and I were home to see it! He was laying on his back on the quilt on the floor and was holding his "blankie" (aka burpcloth). He started trying to roll over like he usually does and eventually got a little frustrated. Then he just whipped himself right over! He layed on his tummy and played for a while, then rolled to his back and then back to his tummy!! It was so fun!!

Its been a little while since I've posted because we have had so much going on! Last weekend, Darryl swam for the first time! We went over to Greg and Marla Ford's house and hung out at the pool. Chris and I were so excited that we went to Babies R Us that morning and got him a big inflatable police car to sit in and a adorable swim top (we already had swim trunks from a garage sale). Then we went over to Fords and put him in the pool. He loved it!!! He smiled and giggled. After about 20 minutes he started to realize that his diaper was sopping wet so he was ready to be done :) (They don't make swimming diapers his size). It was a blast! Since then we have swam again at Karen's pool and he loved it again!

This past week Darryl took his first trip! We took him with us to Middle School Camp in Gerty, OK. Let me tell you...packing was a whole other experience!

He did so great! He actually slept better there then he had been at home! He loved all of the attention that he got at camp of course. He also loved spitting up on people to show them that he loved them. On one occasion Jacob Wright was holding him and having him do lunges. He was talking about how he couldn't believe how strong he was and as soon as he got those words out of this mouth Darryl spit up all over him! Then during a sponsor meeting Jordan Hobbs was holding him and he did it again. It was hilarious because Jordan didn't know what to do and just screamed then laughed.

Chris came to camp just to take care of Darryl so I could participate at camp. He was so amazing to do that. It felt so good to get out in the sun, run around, and feel like myself again. And it was really fun to walk around with him.

We discovered that he LOVES Patty Barnes. He loves her so much that during a worship service I was holding him and he sat up trying to get to her! He then did it a couple more times the next morning. We would prop him up on a pillow where he was laying down diagonally and he would lean up! It is going to be so crazy to see him actually be able to sit up on his own.

My love for him just keeps growing... I can't believe how in love with him I am! I'll leave you with some photos that Sara Wheeler took of Baby Darryl and I on Mothers Day!
