It's Already Been a Month!

Our little Derek is a month old today, I can't believe how fast time has gone by. He's getting bigger quickly. At one of my baby showers, people wrote down advice on diapers for me to read as I change Derek's diapers and one of them said, "Enjoy every moment with him, they grow too fast." I try to remember that when I'm really tired at night and he's fussy. Time will fly and he will only be like this for a short time, this is when I can snuggle up with him and kiss him as much as I want. He truly is growing fast, it's only been a month but he already seems so much bigger. These are some of the pictures we got of him today on his month mark.

He smiles now and is just starting cooing, we love it!

This is a blurry picture but this is one of the only smiling pictures we have of him.

He's so adorable! At this point his eyes are still blue, his hands look more like his daddy's, wears size 1 diapers, is growing out of his newborn clothes and loves bath time!

Derek's Baby Blessing

We got to bless Derek last Sunday Aug 7, 2011. He got such a beautiful blessing from Cameron. We are thankful to everyone that was able to be with us on this special day, and for those who participated. We are blessed with so much love and support from family and friends.

and last but not least we are very blessed to have Derek in our family, we've had a blast so far. He is the best thing that has happened to us and we love him so much.

(my family is so short, Cameron looks so tall.. I think that's really funny)

This is who came from my side of the family, except for my dad. He had to go home before we took pictures.

(love how Adam is eating Danny's tie. . so cute)

We had so many more people here with us, they actually made our ward look like a ward. Thanks everyone for coming!

Derek has many cousins close in age, they were all born within four months.

My mother-in-law made his cute blessing outfit, he looked so handsome. Thanks Mom! She also provided these pictures for us, since we didn't take any... oops.
