You might not have noticed, but there have been a large number of pictures of Derek in his swing.
That would be because he loves it so much.
I do too.
I am mourning in advance for its loss. My son is reaching the weight limit, and is wearing out the motor. Very soon it will be put in its resting place - the attic; and I am going to have to babyproof. The little man is not yet crawling, but will be shortly. As it is, he rolls everywhere he wants to go.

Little angel

This is Derek trying to charm his way into getting someone to pick him up.
Who would fall for that face? Mommy.
Sometimes.
Well, okay, a lot.
How can you resist a face like that???

Heather and Derek crawl

This past weekend my sister came to visit me with her husband and sweet little Heather.
This is a video of the two kids playing together. It was sooo sweet! They were playing so nicely!
And you can see where Heather was trying to teach Derek how to crawl. It was very amusing.

Mama!

Cousins!
