Little Daryl's latest favorite game is playing "tent" with Daddy. This consists of hiding under the covers sometimes for long periods of time, peeking out every once in a while. He is getting better about getting his whole body under the covers. As soon as Daddy wakes up, he drags Daddy to our bedroom to play "tent" while I fix his meal.
"Peek-a-boo!"
Daddy hiding under the covers
Enjoying his one-pound solid bunny for Easter. We gave him the whole thing to see what he would do with it. He started gnawing on the feet, then (after my suggestion) moved to the ears; he finally started working on the rear end. The chocolate started melting on his hands, so I chopped it into pieces for him. It took him 4 days to finish it. We hid our bunnies in paper bags, so he wouldn't see ours and want them too. 
Sharing a Cadbury bar with Daddy
A couple of weeks ago, as I was preparing supper, I had a couple of cans stacked on the counter. Daryl walked over and pulled down the bottom can. Of course, the top can fell off and hit him on the bridge of his nose. The scar is just about healed. It would have healed much quicker if he wouldn't have kept picking on the scab. 
I love that smile of his.
Mommy also got a "boo-boo" the previous evening. I was getting little one ready for bed, and was giving him his saline nose drops. He happened to be holding a plastic toy with a pointy edge. He reacted to the drops by flailing his arms, and the toy jabbed my cheek. Although it was painful, I didn't realize it scratched me until I felt the scab a couple of hours later. I now check his hands before administering the drops. My scab is long gone, because I didn't pick the scab (that much).
The wounded warriors
Our backyard at 10:30 Saturday, 2/13/10. This was the second snowfall we got this year. The first one was 2 weeks before. I got some pictures of that one, but lost them before I could download them to the computer. The roads were more icy on the first one. Daryl had to stay over 6 hrs at work till his replacement arrived, then the car stalled. I had to pick him up and call AAA to have the car towed. I had another reminder of how much more difficult it is to leave the house when one has a little one. Everything turned out OK, though I felt like crying at first. We got the car to the shop before it closed. I was exhausted when it was all over. It was nice to have a warm home to come to. One of my brothers suggested Christmas be celebrated in Jan. or Feb, then we would have a white Christmas. It certainly was beautiful!
Our front yard. Daryl had to work the night before, but the roads weren't icy, so he made it home safely.
Daryl's toys
Daryl walking in Mommy's footsteps. He wasn't too crazy about the snow. He wanted me to carry him around the yard. I decided it would be safer for us both if we went inside. Maybe next year he will enjoy it enough to play in it. He did enjoy looking at it out the window. He kept on saying "wooowwww." 
I managed to make a little snowman (6in tall).
Last Saturday, I came home from a church baby shower to find this on our bed. Of course if Little Daryl were awake, the cats wouldn't be this close to him. I chose this pose so the camera flash wouldn't wake him up.
Daryl has discovered how to open the microwave. I caught him recently lining up his cars in it. He likes to line up his toys in neat rows. I still have to remind him to pick up his toys, though. He is particular about certain things, especially routine stuff. I'm sure when I incorporate picking up toys into his routine, he will more readily comply. We will need to diligently watch him so he doesn't end up trying to cook the cars. So far he only pushes one button. 
I think the camera flash makes him blink. It seems in most of the recent pictures I have of him, he is blinking.
Peanut butter: his favorite food (besides sweets). He was "washing the dishes," but I wasn't quick enough with the camera to get that shot.

On Christmas morning, wearing his flannel pjs and spiderman socks.
We were able to decorate the living room Christmas morning before little Daryl woke up. He enjoyed the lights and the tree.
His favorite gift; from Uncle Kevin. It is a truck carrying case that holds 32+ matchbox size cars. He sometimes tries to ride it. He is usually carrying at least one of the cars around. Thanks, Kevin.
