Not Ready

I wish time would stop or even rewind. I'm not ready to have a one year old Derek. I miss my helpless, non-temperamental newborn that I nursed, rocked, and sung over. Not that an "old" baby doesn't have its perks (I definitely get more sleep!) but I love tiny, wrinkly newborns who aren't in the least bit mischievous or squirmy.

Derek, less than a week old


Derek took his first-more-than-just-one-step steps Oct. 27, but it wasn't until this past Wednesday that he's really started walking efficiently :). Derek now walks 50% of the time, and he's falling less and less. Payt think it's hilarious when Derek walks. He often tries to "help" him, which results in both of them falling down.

As you watch these videos please note that, one, my house is typically messy. So be it. Two, Payt does have "real" clothes and I do make him wear them on occasion ;). But I'm also totally fine with him running around in his underwear when we're home...as you will see.

Don't you wish you can go back sometimes? & I can't believe he's walking!!! Sophia has no interest in it. When will he be a year old? And once we're home Soph is usually just in her diapers lol

& I forgot to tell you, I'm so glad that you blog! I usually follow other moms I've never met but I like following someone I actually know. No one that we grew up with or in the parkersburg area blogs :( .. that I know of at least.
