Month 4

Grandad Alan and Granny Pat visited over Spring Equinox. We visited Jay at work and went to Our Old Rice Farm. Weather was a little better than the last trip. Jay and Pat almost flipped the ATV. We went out for Mexican, stayed with Barbara, and the next day took the scenic route to the old Iron Furnace in Estill County. We also learned this weekend that we're waking Darvik up in the middle of the night, not the other way around! When Darvik slept in his crib he slept through the night - and it happened every night! So we detached his cosleeper from our bed and everyone's sleeping much better!

Bella's starting to recognize that Darvik is a real person. When he came home from the hospital she barely acknowledged him. Theo the cat would try to sit on him while I was feeding him. Now, Bella's realizing the benefits...

Darvik became very interested in what we were eating and didn't seem quite satisfied with his bottle - so we tried oatmeal. It wasn't a raging success - he was still pushing it out with his tongue. So we decided to try again in a couple weeks.

Jay wanted Darvik dressed up for the Florida game.

Darvik visits his sister in Lexington at University of Kentucky to see her choir recital. He seemed to enjoy the music, but not the clapping.

Darvik reads his first book...
...and then proceeds to eat it
Becky's daughter Allison visited the first weekend in March. She's a bruiser and beat him up in the pack and play! Poor guy - his cheeks and nose are red from his first cold.
