7 Months Old

WOW has another month passed already?




Derek is getting so big, he is now eating baby food, and he loves it all. He will eat carrots, sweet potatoes, bananas, and squash. It is actually intimidating, trying to figure out what he needs to eat, how much he need to eat, and to know when to stop, so that is one thing I have been struggling with this month. Am I doing this right, am I giving him all the nutrients he needs?  All I can do is Hope and Pray, that I am doing the best for him!  On the other end, after eating all the fiber-enriched foods, we had some pretty interesting diapers. That lead to our first ever, POOP-EXPLOSION!  As a new mom,   I was just feeding him what sounded good, and tasted good, never thought of the aftereffects of the exit!  I guess that follows the expression, You live and learn!

 LOOK I HAVE TEETH!



Let me tell you, he loves to show off his teeth, and he is chewing on everything, including mommy's fingers, and his teeth are sharp! It will only be a matter of time before he has a mouth full of teeth!


Crawling.... well not so much, he wants to crawl, but he is not quite sure how "crawling" works.  He will get in position, and rock, but then he just falls to the floor, but I know that it is only a matter of time before he figures it out! It is one more reminder of how big my baby boy is getting.

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
