Ready for pictures?! Derek is doing great and growing fast! Let's see, his favorite things are baths, diaper changes (weird cause he hated them as a newborn-I think he likes to be naked and he likes to move his legs like carzy), eating, sleeping, and rocking in the swing. Todd's parents came to visit about a week ago and they met Derek for the first time. We had a great time and we all loved getting to spend some time with Grandma and Grandpa Folkman! So, let the pictures begin...



My good friend took these beautiful pictures of Derek when he was just a few days old. She did a fantastic job and I am so grateful for all her hard work. If you are in need of a wonderful and talented photographer, I HIGHLY recommend!!! Thank you Erica Kirby photography!










Found him sleeping like this the other day. Arms up and ready to go!

Like Father, like son

Derek recently started to smile a lot more. It is so fun to watch our little man going from a newborn to baby. He laughed in his sleep the other day and it was adorable.


Our little shaker and mover found his way to the bottom of the crib. Actually, he does this a lot. We find him in the morning either plastered to the side or the bottom of the crib with his little arms and legs poking through his "jail."

Always in search of his thumb, sometimes he's successful

Sometimes, he's not...

Nap time

He loves bath time

And he loves sleeping in our bed in the morning
