About Derek:
- Loves to chase his big brother everywhere
- Loves to climb on things that are twice his size.
- Really makes you work for a smile.
- Is a complete Mama's Boy
- Walks and runs like a pro, but still gets knocked down easily.
- Favorite past time: pulling books off the bookshelf and inspecting them closely
- Loves to touch Grandma's curly hair, loves to eat my hair.
- Is a snuggle bug.
- Is fascinated with animals, mimics the cat meowing and loves the dog.
- Loves being outside, playing in the grass, splashing in the pool, going down the slide
- Loves to eat paper and cardboard, not sure why he does this but every time I turn around he's got a puzzle piece or toilet paper roll or magazine in his mouth. Can't get him to chew chunky food, but cardboard is right up his alley I guess.
- If you are crying in the car, singing kid songs at the top of my lungs usually quiets you down.
- You love the sound of birds when you go to bed.
- You love knitted blankets, you snuggle them and bite them.
- You love monkeys. I can show you toys all day long but as soon as you see a monkey, you break out a huge smile and coo at me. Melts me every time.
- My favorite time of day with you is bed time. I get to snuggle you and you kiss me and touch my face. Then I tickle you for a little while and you crack up laughing.
