We took Darrien for a quick stroll around the block with Tow-Mater. Here’s some pics, and a giggly video too!

Well Darrien had a great time at the Luau. A special thanks to all of those who were able to take a moment and say hello to him. He started off the afternoon pushing his red wagon in circles. We then moved to another area of the patio, where he continued to push it in circles. He sure wore himself out. He had to eat my Macaroni and Cheese to recover his strength. (not to mention that yummy potato salad that he allowed me to share with him)
Once he had replenished his energy stores, he retuned to the task at hand. And the wagon was pushed some more. 
After a short and union regulated cookie break, Darrien took to pushing the wagon from the back. This of course lacked the maneuverability of side push method resulting in only a few squished toes. :: Sorry ::
We managed to navigate to the center of the patio where Darrien resumed the circular pushing for a while. Finally tired of pushing the wagon, he had to come show me how excited he was about that hat that he found on his head!

While at Target tonight, Darrien decided to rearrange the candy section. Ubeknownst to me, and the Target employee who stocked this area, all the candy is actually supposed to go on floor infront of the shelves!

A quick outing to SF for lunch at Cha Cha Cha’s on Haight. Great tapas place, and Darrien’s first encounter with chili powder. I knew the stuff was allegedly addictive, but wow. He grabbed a fried potato that had been dusted with chili powder, and sucked on it for maybe 250ms before making the most awkward face I’ve ever seen, and promptly giving the potato piece to Maria. Sorry, I would have never been able to get the camera out in time for that!
He continued to make some funny faces while dissolving the remaining capsaicin from the inside of his mouth, then reached for another one. Its times like this I wish I could have a permanent baby cam! Well, you can see from the pictures that he was very excited to be there.

Planning of Darrien’s 1st birthday is under way. We are looking at the weekend of August 6th (Saturday) or August 7th (Sunday). At present, the plan is to have everyone gather for food and merriment at Del Valle. If you think you can make it, think about a dish to bring. Poppa will be running the grill, and we’ll bring meat and cake for the masses. We’ll also bring some refreshments.
Not sure what to bring? Think about these~
Other ideas? Please feel free to add them!
We hope you are all as excited as we are. See you in August!
After much ado, I finally have a place where we can share pictures, videos, and anecdotes about our favorite little man. Please subscribe, comment, and stay tuned for more content in the very near future!
