MayDays

Darren survived his first barbeque last weekend and he was more aware of everyone around him. He was facinated with the outside world that day. Now he looks around at the room he's in and explores what catches his eyes. Sometimes he laughs at these objects he's seeing and sometimes I'm not sure what he's looking at. I got this new digital camera from Dave for Mother's Day and I'm going to go crazy with the pictures when I can figure out how all the features work on it. I've already got some cute pics but I take more than Dave can put up at once. There's so much you can capture in one day of Darren's life. He has slept all night for a least a week now. I'm so lucky that he can do that at 2 months. I feed him at anywhere from 8 pm to 10 pm and he wakes up at 6 am the next morning. This morning he slept until 7:30 which has never happened before.

The best morning I had was the other day. He was screaming at 6 am as usual and I came in to feed him but he was asleep having a nightmare so I didn't wake him. Instead I watched him settle down to a peaceful slumber. Then he smiled and woke up. Once he realized he was awake he focused on me and smiled this big wide grin and cooed at me. That made my day. Being loved by another unconditionally is the best ever.
