MISC. Pics

Derrick is now 3 months old! yay! He holds his head up pretty well and can even put some weight on his little feets! Still as happy as ever and not a bad sleeper either (much to his mommy's liking).

These are some older pictures when D was only a few weeks old. He is with his aunt Jenny on a rocking dog (not a rocking horse, a rocking dog) ......I know, its a little weird.

Aunts

Here are a few Pictures Of Just two of the aunts! Josh's sister Ashley came down to visit from Utah. She hadn't seen Derrick before, and she wasn't sure how long it would be before she could come down again so she tried to get her fill of D while she was here.

And this....this is the calm before the storm................

Just a few seconds after the first picture was taken sweet little Derrick decided to spit up all over his aunt Stacey! :) All of his aunts are funny about spit up. Don't get me wrong. I don't like it anymore than the next person....but they react as if he threw poo all over them. I suppose its different when it is your own kid. I can't wait for my sisters to have babies!

Some goings on!

Here are some more pictures. I know its been a little while since I've put new ones up. It gets hard to find time. But I'm working on it :) Derrick is growing faster than a weed. He now weighs 14.3 Lbs! He got 3 different shots today so he is a tad tired and cranky but still smiles through it all. He really is amazing.

Sunday morning. Don't I have handsome boys!

Brent loves shoes. It must be the age or something. It doesn't matter whose shoe it is either. As you can see by the picture below....he has not problem with his grandma's high heals.

He loves playing with the mouse.

Two babies in diapers. I'm thinking Derrick might catch up to Brent.

This was super cute! Derrick spit up and so Brent grabbed a little rag and started wiping his mouth.

Brent also likes to hold D's hand.

Derrick update

We took Derrick to the Nephrologist today. It was horrible. It was the first time that we had gone to that doctor so we were there 30 minutes earlier than our appointment time. But then we had to wait another 40 minutes past our appt. time. 30 minutes in one room while we waited for another room. Then we waited 20 minutes to see the doctor, 10 minutes waiting for Derrick to pee, and then another 20 minutes waiting for the doctor to tell the Nurse to tell us the sample looked good. I think it was the worst doctors visit that we've ever experienced. But finally we made it home. Derrick is supposed to go back for an ultrasound to see if the upper pole of his kidney is viable and if there are two collection systems. If there are two and the upper portion of his kidney is viable and the one collection system is just blocked, then they may have to do surgery to remove it. But if the upper pole is not viable then it may just shrink on its own and no surgery is needed. Poor baby boy has been through alot, but he is also the happiest baby that I have ever seen. He is smiling all the time. He loves to interact with us. When he smiles its like he smiles with his whole body. He is adorable, a blessing, and we are grateful to have him as a part of our family.
