As of March 13, we are parents of a two month old! We celebrated this special day by taking Derek in to have 5 shots...poor baby. He cried harder than he's ever cried. I know it is important to have this done, but I should have scheduled it on a different day...We found out he is presently 10 lbs, 11 oz and nearly 24" long. He is in 3 mo. clothes and growing rapidly. Last night, he slept from 10:30 - 3:30, was fed, then 4:30 - 8:00. I couldn't believe it. Derek is a very independent boy. He prefers not to be held unless he is really tired. When put down, he smiles and coos galore! Each day we are SUPER thankful for our little guy. He is truly AMAZING!!!

Ric's mom, Sherry, got to spend a great deal of time with her grandson. It was nice having her see Derek go from looking like a newborn to a full fledge baby! She stayed much longer than expected because Ric's sister had to have brain surgery. She is doing well and recovering super fast! We are so happy for this! Derek doesn't want to see his Tante not feeling well!
