Can you believe Sophia used to fit in there?

We peeked around the corner and noticed Sophia sitting in Derek’s (her old) car seat, with the canopy portion down over her head. Only after I said “Sophia”, did she pull it up.

The picture is a little blurry; camera phone photos, what are you gonna do; hopefully, […]

Just when we think we’re getting into a pretty good routine, something changes. I’m not sure what has changed last, but it seems like this past week has just been super hectic. Kevin and I have decided that we need to sit down and write out some goals and some rules to follow, […]

So Kevin has been BEGGING for an iPhone for months. He finally talked me into taking over his plan so he could get the phone of his dreams!! I think he picked it up on Monday afternoon. Side note: Kevin has a new phone number, but I was able to transfer […]

Alright, it can’t be a fluke. Sophia is really starting to grasp the concept of going to the potty, when she either feels wet, or has a “poo poo” (although, both situations are usually referred to as poo poo).

These past couple days, every time “poo poo” happens, Sophia seems to get really excited and either: […]

Probably not the best ones to use.

At her sister’s wedding, an employee chipped her tooth on a Mint Julep, bent over to spit it out, hit her head on a keg and was knocked unconscious. While at a circus, a tiger urinated on the employee’s ear, causing an ear infection. An employee’s dog wasn’t feeling well, so […]

So I carried my cell phone around with me all day Thursday and Friday, waiting for the Dr. to call us with the test results. Sure enough Friday at 5:30 PM, she calls our home phone. Since I wasn’t around she talked to Kevin. I’m sure she was much happier to talk […]

In lieu of yesterday’s rather depressing post, I wanted to share a few pictures that certainly lifted our spirits.

Mr Derek sure loves to smile, just look at that sweet face:

Sophia and Denise had a tea party today:

They actually had yogurt and apple sauce in the dishes. Sophia was very particular in dispensing the goodies.

Does Lexi […]

I have to start by saying that yesterday was nothing compared to today. I made a call to the lab this morning to ask them if they had someone that specializes in drawing blood from kids. They assured me that it wouldn’t be a problem.

We checked in to the lab just […]

Denise, our nanny, showed up on Monday and took one look at Derek and said, “wow he’s grown a ton this weekend”. I agree, each day I come home from work and he looks bigger than when we left. By looking at him, you would never know that he was a premie and […]

We snapped Derek’s three month photos this morning (hard to believe huh?). He is geting so big, and his little personality is really starting to show.

This is one of my favorite pictures:

My mom bought Derek this outfit many months before he was born, with the understanding, that we would get his pictures taken in it. […]
