And the decorating begins...

I know Thanksgiving hasn't even come and go yet but I couldn't resist starting to decorate for Christmas. My niece and nephew were spending the day at grandma's house so I recruited them all to help me get the Christmas fun started!! Derrick had a blast with his cousins and it allowed me free hands to get stuff put up. Alyssa (my niece) took my camera and did a mini photo shoot of the boys. It was sooo adorable...here are some pictures of the fun...(I will put up more pictures of the actual decorations when I get them all up)

His hands and pose crack me up

He loves to smile for Alyssa

Joshy's Birthday

November 17th my nephew turned 2 years old!! Derrick loves his cousin Joshy and follows his every move when they are together. Here are some fun pictures of the birthday extravaganza....

Hooray...I'm 2!!!!

I love my Auntie Kimmy (still working on that head control)

Jumpin' Jumpin' Jumpin'

Now that little D's head and neck muscles are getting stronger, he has been able to get good use of his jumper. He loves it. We are still working on him actually jumping on his own...but he loves to sit and play with the toys. He talks up a storm while laughing and spinning around and around!! He is such a happy little guy...I couldn't be any luckier!!

So much fun!

Hi daddy!!

Laughing....having sooo much fun!!

4 Months Already!!!

So I know this post is a tad late but Derrick is already 4 months old (actually now 4 1/2 months old!!). He is changing everyday. It is so exciting to watch him discover himself, his voice, his hands, his feet...oh the list goes on and on. Just some pictures of my little bundle of fun:

Love hanging out with grandpa

Hmmm...wondering what to order....

Discovering he can play with his pacifier

He has the ability (like mommy) to make his eyes match his outfits!!

Love his smilies

Blurry but still so handsome!

He has his daddy's big, gorgeous eyes
