5 Months Old

-

The months just keep on passing. Derek is now 5 months old.

This has been a pretty good month, but there isn't much going on for Derek. He has begun to roll from his back to his stomach, but not stomach to back. They say once he can do it both ways, there will be no stopping him! He is still growing and it amazes me, each day, of how much my life has changed since we have had him. I love this little guy. He is an amazing baby, and I love every part of being a mom. The looks that he gives you, and the smiles, it will melt your heart every time!


This month we celebrated Christmas, and I got my Christmas present early this year, and I am so glad that he came when he did! He was pretty fascinated with the Christmas tree, we decided to put it up while he was taking a nap, and we wanted to see his reaction to the new "thing" taking up so much space in the living room, and once he saw it, he didn't know what to think about it, but he loved it!


Every day is a new adventure with this little one, I am sure he will be "talking" and moving in no time. It does not seem like we have had him for 5 months already! We did try bananas for this first time, and he was not to sure of it at first, since this was really the first time he had any type of food. He didn't eat much of it, but it was a nice adventure to start introducing a new food!


 


Love this little man!!!

He has gotten really good at holding his head up!
Chewing- he doesn't have anything in his mouth, but he moves his mouth like he is chewing on gum, but I know he is just mocking what we do when we talk, and I love it, it is really cute!
Tummy Time- still one of his favorite things is tummy time!
Baby toys/ playtime

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

#ONEBIGTRUTH

This is a first for me, and I am very nervous about doing this, but I have come to realize that blogging is a passion of mine, and that I am here for a reason. There are some times that I am stepping out on a limb (faith) and I know that not matter what GOD has ALWAYS got my back, even on the toughest days. So today, I am hoping to join up with other bloggers, readers, and friends to share ONE BIG TRUTH.  This is a way to share something that God has taught you, reveled to you, or guided you through and you are now stronger for it. The goal is to do this in 2 pictures.  Everyone has had a moment, where you knew God was there, and it all worked out because of his grace. Now is the time to link up! You can also share your pictures on instagram or twitter with the hashtag #onebigtruth.
