Life as usual

-
We have been pretty much enjoying life around the Ray house. 
A few weekends ago, Derek went to stay the night with his grandparents, and I saw this on another blog, and thought I would give it a try. I took an old box, cut holes in the top of it, and then put a string of Chrsitmas lights through the holes. Derek Loves it. I had it in a spare room, and the other night I caught Derek trying to move it to the living room. He now calls it our, "tree", because it is sitting where our Christmas tree used to be. Every morning, this is where he eats his breakfast. He also likes for us to get in there with him, but that gets a little crowded. 
 
Did I mention how much this child loves Chili. I was afraid he would not like, but I wanted to him to try it.  He loved it.  He kept saying, " I eat it all." Not only does he love some chili, we are mastering drinking out of a cup, and he is doing really good. I am so proud of him.


 

This kid is all boy. He loves to climb on everything. This past weekend, the weather was so nice we took Derek to the park, and he loved it. He stayed in the swing for a good 20 minutes, then decided he wanted to climb, everything. Look how brave he is, I was a nervous wreck, but I knew he needed to figure this out on his own. 
This is him looking over the fence. I was outside playing with him, and was looking at something, and I looked down and say this. He is standing on the bars of his Thomas, can we say, BRAVE!!
 
 Just last night we were playing and Derek comes into the living room, and says, I need a time out, and put him self in the corner. How cute is that.

2 Months Old

WOW time sure does go by fast! Derek is now 2 months old! This has been a great month, Derek is still struggling with his nights and days, but we are slowly getting it figured out. He has started to focus his eyes, smile and stick out his tongue, for a short minute! He has had a few good nights where he slept from 8pm-3am,, in return I woke up in shock that he slept that long, but was very happy for the much needed rest!                               This Month was the first big overnight trip for Derek and I, we went to visit his Uncle Clint and Aunt Tara in Tulsa, OK. That was a fun trip, but it was hard for us at night since Derek had never been away from home over night, but it was nice to visit family! Derek has started staying awake longer in the afternoon, and we finally had to move up to 0-3 month clothes, which was a sad moment...

#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.

Being a boy mom

As I am making my way to bed, waking the hallway, I see all these cars, and trucks lining the hallway, blocks and racetracks built in his room, and I am remind of how I am so lucky that I get to be the mother to the sweetest little boy in the world. I love how he says " I lobd you" and "kisses" and how he will ask you to build a tunnel, but knocks it down before it's even finished, then will instantly turn to you and say "I sorry" as he is giving you more Hugs and kisses, and it melts my heart that he wants me to "play" and "sit" with him. To him I am his whole world, and of me, he makes every day better.  Thank you  God for making me a Boy Mom.
