"Let me OUT !!!" This is where Derek goes when he is in to everything! Sorry buddy!

He's CRAWLING!!! Oh no! Yes, Derek is on the move, but is frustrated with how slowly he moves. Therefore, he wants us to "walk" him everywhere. (My poor back!) He continues to grow and impress us with his gross motor skill abilities. He really desires to run away from us...I start back to teaching part time in the beginning of September. Pray for this huge transition on Derek, Ric, and me.

Derek went on his first camping trip July 20-23! He did AWESOME!!! He enjoyed being outside and sleeping in a tent. The weather was super hot, so we filled a tub up with water to cool him off. The water was freezing cold, but Derek didn't mind!
