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.

The Boys!

Derrick had his 2 month Dr. visit today and he continues to grow! He had to get three different shots though and he voiced his opinion rather loudly about having to get them. Its hard to believe that it has been two whole months already. He is 23.6 inches long(71st percentile) and a hefty 13.3 pounds(81st percentile)! He is growing out of his clothes faster than I can get them out of the closet. He also has more red in his hair. We are excited to see what color his eyes will be. We also have an appointment to see the Nephrologist on the 5th and then we will find out more concerning his kidney. We aren't too worried since he is gaining weight and has lots of wet diapers.

BRENT

Brent loves his little brother. He likes to bounce him in his chair and push him around in it. He likes to hug and kiss him too. Brent tries to talk more and more. He found a spray bottle with water in it and then figured out how to spray it, But the only way he could get his hand around it to spray it was if it was actually pointed at his face. :) So he would spray himself, get surprised and shake his head, then laugh and do it again. He was soaked when I finally took it away from him.

EASTER

Easter was fun this year. Brent was a little older so we could enjoy him having fun more :) We colored Easter eggs the night before, and had him in his diaper to do it. There is no telling what could become of a little boy and egg colors. Brent loved putting the eggs in the color. We would take it out after a while and give it to him. He would take it and go right to putting it into another cup. He had lots of fun. And nothing was spilled until the very end when I turned just long enough for him to grab the cup with the blue coloring and dump it upside down on the table, himself and me. But what is Easter (or any holiday for that matter) without some sort of messy memory.

The day before Easter we went to Uncle Gary's and had fun looking for eggs and playing with all the toys. He built this amazing playhouse!!! It has electricity and everything! Brent had fun and laughed hysterically when the other boys started jumping in and out of the windows.

when we were looking for eggs he opened one and found some gummy worms. After that the egg hunting was pretty much done with. He just kind of carried them around and snacked on them every once in a while.

Well life continues on in the little Crockett home. Josh is feeling 100% less stressed out at his new Job. I am really excited to get a treadmill or elliptical ( we don't know which is better to get, let us know if you have an opinion of either). Brent is a wonderful big brother, although sometimes he is a cranky one. And Derrick is turning into one Chunky little monkey!

ARRRG!!! I'm a pirate!
