I can't believe it has already been a year.
We had to cut him off! We were overwhelmed by all the people who came to show their support and love for him. I stopped counting at 50 people! It was a full house! All of his baby friends were there to play with too. This year, Mommy and Daddy joined the Harrington small group at church. It was the best decision we could have ever made! Now Mommy and Daddy have lots of new friends as well as Darryl!
I remember people constantly telling me to treasure every moment because it will fly by and wow...they were right! I can't believe its been two months since I have posted on this blog! We have been so busy and out almost every night with family and friends. We are so blessed by the people in ourlives and for the amazing ways that they have been there for us this year. It really does take a village to raise a child and for that we want to say THANKS to all of you who have been there for us this year. There are so many of you it is overwhelming.
Where to begin? Darryl is full on walking, running, and stomping now. As of last weekend, he no longer takes bottles or formula, and loves that he gets to eat big people food and drink milk (Mommy and Daddy love it too!). He is always laughing, clapping, and giving us an onery smile when he knows he is doing something wrong. We can already tell he is stubborn, because no matter how many times we swat his hand those cabinets are far too tempting!
A couple weeks ago Darryl started daycare! He goes to a home daycare with his friend Jake and 4 other babies while Mommy and Daddy are at work. He loves all the foods he gets to try and playing outside with friends. Yep, he still LOVES being outside. And people...Darryl absolutely loves being around people (he is a little like his Mommy...)

It was hilarious! But after a while he got used to them and now loves to wear them. He only gets frustrated when they keep him from pulling off his socks.
Baths get more and more exciting every day. He loves to splash, stick his head in the water, and play peek-a-boo with the shower curtain. He laughs and laughs and always gives us a huge smile with his beautiful 6 teeth!
Last weekend we had Darryl's first birthday party! It was monster themed and so much fun. We had masks for the kids, cupcakes, food, and a cake for Darryl. He loved the cake and after playing with it for a few seconds dove right in!
