20 Months old

-
The months just keep on passing faster and faster.  Derek is now 20 months old, and let me tell you that is weird to say.
He already has a personality of his own, and he knows how to work a room. Give him the spotlight and he will run with it.

Cool Kid!!!
Here are a few of his accomplishments.

He is able to tell you where his mouth, nose, ears, hair, eyes, toes and belly button are.
When you ask him where his eyes are, he will blink his eyes at you. When asked about his belly button, he will raise his shirt and show you his belly button.
He is still into Barney, and Mother Goose Club. He will go crazy over both of them. We are thinking about having a Barney themed birthday party. Do they still make that stuff? LOL.


As far as the sleeping, he is doing really good. Most nights he sleeps all night and on the nights he wakes up, he will turn the soother on and go right back to sleep, with the exception of the past 2 nights, where he has woke up screaming. Last night he woke up, crying and daddy told him to lay down go to sleep, and he did. We were both completely shocked.


Another thing Derek loves to do it sing and dance. Right now it is just gibber, but it is really sweet to ask him to sing to me.

Some of my traits: There are a few things that are Like Mother Like Son:
  • He sits the way I did when I was a kid, with his knees bent and feet out. 
  • When I was a kid, I loved Barney, Derek can't get enough Barney right now.
  • Caring: Derek is so loving and caring, he loves to gives hugs.
  • He is a great helper, he loves to help me fold laundry, and unload the dishwasher.

He also has some of his daddy traits: Like Daddy Like Son:
  •  Derek likes to build things, he has a creative mind like his daddy.
  • Loves to give and receive affection.
  • Loves to read, Derek will never have too many books.
  • Loves Rocky (stuffed animal) more than anything, just like his daddy!

There are so many other things to come, and I am so glad that I will be able to witness it each and every day.

Until next time....

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
