3 Months Old

Can you believe Derek is 3 months old?
Well this has been an exciting month for us!

Derek has learned he has a tongue and that it is meant to be stuck out. He will do that about 10 times a day, not that I encourage him, LOL, or maybe just a little bit. Plus he has the smiling down, and I know that is his way of showing me he knows me and loves me. He also loves to chew on his fingers, once he discovered them!  I am not sure if this is early or not, but he is getting very good at holding his head up, all that tummy time, sure has paid off!


Since Derek was born, we have always been told he looks like a little man, or he has an older man face, which is apparently very cute in a baby, and I have to agree. With some of his facial expressions, he could pass for an older man in a baby's body. I have even thought about buying one of those mustache pacifiers, just to see what he would look like, but since he doenst take a pacifier, I didnt do it; however this picuture is the perfect example. What do you think?



Just like any other mom, I love to document all of Derek's first. This month was his first Halloween party. I searched for months for the right Halloween costume, and found the perfect, football costume; however knowing he would only wear it once, I could not justify the money for this one costume, so the search began again. Then Ricky decided he would like to help me on the quest for the perfect costume for Derek's first Halloween, and we found it.... Oatmeal Bear.

    I love the pictures of him in his bear costume, some of my all-time favorites. We took him to your families' Halloween party and was so good. i thought that he would fuss and resist having the costume on, but he did great!

San Diego, CA Part 2

After a fair nights sleep, I wake up the next day in San Diego, and the moment my feet hit the floor they start screaming at me, oh they HURT. Ricky had to be at his conference early, so I seen him off, and I began to start my day, but I was slow moving. I could not get motivated to get out of the room. Finally I made my way down stairs, and headed to Starbucks for breakfast. After that I hopped on a bus and headed to the San Diego Zoo. Thanks to Google Maps, and my GPS I knew right where I was going and when I needed to get off the bus. It was a lifesaver. How did people travel to a new city before Google maps, LOL. I actually got off the bus a little early, but the weather was wonderful, so I didn't mind it to bad.    Now if you have ever heard of this zoo, you know it is a well known zoo, and it should be, it was great, and HUGE!!! Instead of showing tons of pictures of animals, I will only show a few and move on. I spend all day

16 Months Old

Derek is now 16 months old, and I am ashamed to say that I have been slacking on the picture taking, the note taking, and all the awesome stuff he has been doing as he is getting older. Is it because I don't care anymore, absolutely not. We are living life, and having fun, and I have just let the "blog" side of it go to the back burner. Even though I would like to be done with the every month update, I feel like I need to keep it up, at least till he is 2. Who knows, by then this "dry spell" may pass, and I will be back on my game. We do have the holidays coming up really soon and that is my favorite time to take pictures, so I am sure it will pick up. So for now, here is my little boy at 16 months old. Currently everything is "Mamma", we are trying to get him to say more words, but nothing has stuck just yet, other than "yeah", and that is my mistake, and I am trying to correct it with "yes". We celebrated his second Hall

19 Months Old

WOW I have a 19 month old child. That's crazy, awesome, and sad. My little boy is growing up so fast. My brother and sister-in-law just had their second child, and I was able to be there shortly after the baby was born, and it brought all those memories back to the surface. I am not ready to have another baby, but I was so happy to hold a newborn, and love on him, but it just reminded me of how fragile and tiny they are. As I see my 19 month old son run around, that is what I want to focus on, and how big he is getting.  We have snow!!!!! Its our first snow of winter, and here in the south, everything stops for snow. We had snow last year, but Derek was to small to enjoy it, so we were blessed with snow again this year, and Derk has a blast playing in it. He really didn't know what it was, but it sure was fun.  There's nothing like the Love between a Father and his Son. This month has been a good month for our family. Derek is really growing into something amaz
