He is the sweetest little boy ever and loves his Mommy so much, of course his Mommy loves him tons too. He just started Mother's Day Out on Monday, that was so hard for me to leave his sweet sad face behind, but it will be good for both of us.
So let me recap this year. Derek was born August 11, 2009 weighing in at 8 lbs 4.3 oz and was 19 inches long. He looked a lot like both me and Danny when we were babies! A few weeks after Derek was born my brother, John, and sister-in-law, Sara, announced they were having a baby too! Derek was a monkey, dinosaur and skeleton for Halloween lol, yes three costumes! We took him on his first road trip to Iowa to see our friends Amanda & Jared in December. We had an awesome Christmas, I turned 30 in February! Life has been crazy busy and then Derek turned a year! That pretty much sums it up lol.
Me and My baby!
Thank you God for the gifts I have been given, for the love that I have been blessed with, for the family that has stood behind me, and the friends that have held my hands. I am truly one lucky and blessed person, and am thankful for all of the things I've been through to get HERE!
