This year he decided (or rather, mommy decided for him :]) to be an alligator.
We got this outfit from Carter's.
Many people thought he was a dragon or a dinosaur so mommy had to keep telling them he was an alligator :D
On Saturday, October 26th, we dressed in the costume to our wiggleworms class, then stopped by Chicago Gma and Gpa's store.
No pictures please!
Hello my name is Derrick and I'm an alligator.
Have you seen such a cute alligator? >_<
Chomp Chomp!
On 27th, we stayed in, since Derrick and Daddy were both sick with a cold.
But Baby D didn't lose his smile!
On 28th, we went to Costco, and Baby D had his first official shopping cart ride! He rode like a big boy!
He made sure all the grocery was there, and made sure to hold the bar in the front :]
On Tuesday, October 29th, we went to meet Redfield and Annalee.
Redfield was a pumpkin. He's 3 months old, and Derrick at 7 months, looks like a giant next to him!
Derrick said hello to Annalee
And then played footsies with each other.
Then on the 30th, day before Halloween, we went to a costume party at Viola's house :]
Viola was a gorilla- Derrick looks scared of her costume :]
Having fun with new friends, Viola, Eleni, Lincoln!
Mommy made friends with Tam and Sydney :]
What are you guys looking at? Angelina and mommy in the back!
Look at all the new friends we made!
Eleni and Derrick
Derrick and Viola
Totally zonked out after all that play!!
The day of Halloween, it rained all day so we couldn't go out to trick or treat :[
But we had fun playing in our house.
Derrick now hops/runs/walks around the living room!
He played with his toy car, and realized wheels go round and round. This resulted in him grunting his grandpa grunt, which he does whenever he's focused.
Derrick now talks to his lion chair. Lion was his best friend that day.
Derrick now completely knows that "Derrick" is his name. Before it was 50/50. Now, he turns his head whenever he hears his name called. I think this happened around a week before he turned 7 months.
Derrick is still attempting to crawl, hasn't mastered it yet. BUT, when he's propped up, (with my help), he can stand up!
He also loves spending time with daddy. Seems like he's growing up too fast, and preferring daddy over mommy :'[
All in all, we had a GREAT halloween!
And Derrick is a healthy and happy baby, who loves to smile and eat :]
Until the next post, keep us in your prayers!
