Jay and Darvik watching the Jacksonville Jaguars in the playoffs
Dad does the 6pm feeding. Darvik's holding the bottle on his own...
We planned on visiting Darvik's grandparents in Florida, the weekend after Darvik's 2 month birthday, but bad weather in Atlanta filled flights and we weren't able to make it.
To get Darvik excited about his first plane trip, Jay read him a book about planes the night before we were supposed to leave.
Good thing Darvik has no memory so he didn't get as disappointed as we did!
I could spend (and do spend) hours staring at Darvik. He's learning to interact, beginning to discover his hands (he's discovered how to grab my hair), and enjoys playing in his Baby Einstein gym, turning on the music and lights. He likes to sit in a place where he can look around and enjoys getting out of the house (as much as I tried to avoid going to the grocery store yesterday, it became obvious that he wanted to get out of the house - hmmm, must be Jay's blood). I'm starting to teach him sign language, which will hopefully avoid a lot of the tantrums my mom experienced with me when I was a baby and had an opinion on everything but no language to communicate what I wanted.
Darvik is vocalizing a lot more and has learned to operate his hand to turn on his bouncy seat.

LOVE the picture of Jay and Darvik! It is priceless.
Teaching Darvik sign language? That's interesting, i've never heard of teaching a baby sign language. How cool.

sign language is natural for a baby and can help them begin communicating much sooner since they gain control of their hands faster than their vocal cords. we already use a lot of signs naturally (pick me up, for example)... so it's just a matter of adding more to it.
Auntie Cindy cannot believe how big Darvik is getting! He is going to be all grown up before I get to have some baby sugars! He has such a joyful look on his face. I've copied some of these pics and want to make a slideshow on my myspace page if that's ok. I love you all and can't wait to see you.
