Our Big Boy Derick

Derick is 100% Daddy's little boy and helper. He LOVES to spend time with Russell. It melts my heart. He will copy every littel thing Russell dose even the way he is sitting. He is also a little shadow to Russell. I love to watch him. He is a t a stage right now were he is learning new things every day and figuring out now things. It is such a fun stage.

Derick will remind us that we need to have family prayer by coming to us and folding his arms. It is so cut. He has to help us shake Makayla's bottles every time she needs one. He has a play cell phone and he will talk on it a and then laugh and talk some more. It is pretty funny to watch. ( I guess he watch me to much on the phone.)

Derick is starting to say some words. He will say Dad, mom, baby, hi, and a few others but it is pretty hit and miss right now. Like he has not said mom in a week or so everything right now is baby and dad. But he sure know how to shake his head no and he knows what that means.

Derick is such a fun little boy and we are enjoying this chance to raise him.

Our Baby Makayla

Makayla is now 3 months old and such a smiley little girl. She has really sad moments but when she is not sad she is always smiling. She is such a fun baby. She has started to roll form her back to her tummy. Derick likes to join her and lay on his tummy right beside her. She is also a great sleeper. She is out for the night by 9 and she only wakes up once to eat around 5 or so. I am so blessed in that way.

She has turned into such a Mommy's little girl. She is OK with others if she is sleeping or if they are feeding her but besides that she wants her mommy and she will let you know about it. For the first 2 months she always wanted Russel but now she has swapped. It's probably a good thing because Derick is a Daddy's boy and no one else measures up to his dad.

We are having a lot of fun watching Makayla grow. She has such a funny laugh it sounds a bit like an old lady that has been smoking her whole life. It makes us laugh to hear her. We are happy that she is in our family.

Derick 16 months, Makayla 3 months

I must say I got blessed with some really cute kids. Derick loves his little sister so much and she loves him back. He always wants to kiss her and she just lets him and gives him a big smile. She is already a tough little girl. But then again she has to be with him around. He has now learned how to be gentle. That took a bit but he is getting it. It is so fun to watch them grow and change every day.
