Christmas!

Hey! I'm getting back on track, I posted last month :)

We went back to Missouri last month and let me tell you, the onset of cabin fever strikes quick and with little warning. But in the two weeks that we were there Darren perfected his crawling, now he can use his knees and not just scoot around on his stomach... although his daddy will be very proud of his army crawl.

He now gets into everything, especially if I'm doing something it's automatically the most interesting thing in the room and he has to invite himself to play with it. Since we got back to Utah he has gotten reattached to Grandma and Grandpa Peterson. But there are times he only wants the mama and that's ok too. If you were playing with him and you put him on the floor he still expects attention, if you go up the stairs he will crawl after you to the bottom step, get up so he's standing but just can't quite lift that little leg onto the first step and yell up after you.

At the apartment he's discovered the joy of his fuzzy pajamas and sliding around on the linoleum... in front of the front door. I have already hit him in the face twice when I've taken the garbage out. He loves going behind any of the doors and playing with the springy door stop, let's see how much of that Daddy puts up with :)

So, it's Darren's first Christmas... Part 1-Utah. He got a car set, a stuffed horse and some snacks from Grandma and Grandpa, some more cars from Great, Great Grandma Levin, a sleeping bag in a dinosaur pillow from Great Grandma Snow, $10 from Great Grandpa Peterson, a Tigger pillow pet from Aunt Sarah, $10 from Grandma and Great Grandma/Grandpa Tracy and a stuffed Simba from Uncle Kennedy. He has a couple more presents in Missouri to open with Daddy.

Really he wasn't feeling the ripping of the paper, we'll see how that is in another couple weeks. Oh! Anthony comes home on the 8th or 9th of January. We're excited... well I'm excited. I just hope Boogie doesn't weird out too much with Daddy around. Anyways, that's enough for this update. I hope you all had a Merry Christmas! Love you!
