Walking Daddy

Our little one is finally beginning to take steps on his own. He has been pushing his high chair, stroller, and anything that has wheels or moves around for the last couple months. Last week,
he started using us as "walkers." On Monday, he started taking more than 2 steps. It is exciting to see him learn this skill. We know it will be harder to keep up with him, but he was beginning to get too heavy to carry all over the place.





15 Months already

Tuesday was Little Daryl's 15 month checkup. He was 26 lbs, and 32.5 inches tall. We had purchased some Cadbury goodies on the way to his appointment. We gave him some of the candy pictured above on the way home to soothe him after his immunization (which he actually tolerated quite well). As you can see below, the candy was tolerated very well. We still have another package of this candy, and will bring it with us on a trip on 3/31.
He loves to get his picture taken.

Snow!

Last Sunday, we arrived home from Columbia about 30 minutes before the snow started. By Monday morning, when it stopped, we had about 6 inches. This picture was taken Monday morning around 10am from the back porch. The backyard was about covered except for a few spots under our oak tree. The bare spots got bigger as the snow began falling off the trees. Praise God, Daryl made it to and from work safely, and we had a safe trip to Columbia on Tuesday. When Daryl went to work on Sunday at 10pm, the interstate had not been "plowed."
We ventured out around 2pm. By then, there were more bare spots. Little Daryl had more fun pushing his toy around the yard. I decided to wait until next year (when he is older and will enjoy the snow) to try to build a snowman.

Our front yard. Sorry about the weird angle, I was holding a squirming 14-month old at the time.

I thought this ice cycle on the clothesline was cool (no pun intended).
More pictures later.
