These turned out great, as always, because of Lori's awesome photography skills.
We also went to church this Easter and had an awesome Easter Lunch!
It was scrumptious!
We are still attending aqua babies, and Derrick loves being in the water, except when he goes on his back for back float position, and all of a sudden he'll turn into a screaming baby!
Sam Teacher says babies hate it usually, so don't be discouraged.
The past two weeks has been difficult to get him to go into back float position,
but I have faith! We will keep at it until Derrick loves being in the water for all positions.
Days are getting warmer and we can finally do a lot of activities!
Saying thanks to all the family and guests who came
Great Grandma
Time for doljabi!
What will he choose??
Golf ball!
HM...
Should I go for money?
Seoul Grandma wants you to!
Daddy's happy you picked the golf ball!
Now to pick the winning raffle tickets!
Certificate of thanks to our parents.
We love costco cake.
Blowing out the candles
And smashing!
Thank you for coming!
We also started his first aqua babies swim class at Galter Life Center!!
He did awesome.
He's also been standing and kind of walking!
He will be walking in no time!
We also went for his 1 year checkup today.
He is 95th percentile for his height at 31.5 inches
and 50th percentile for weight at 21.8 pounds.
He also now recognizes his doctor, whom he does not like, and cries every time we visit her office.
It doesn't help that each time we see her is usually for hospital admittance, or ER visit, or vaccinations, so Derrick associates her with pain and fear. Poor thing.
All in all, Derrick is doing well and is growing just fine.
So the husband was sick and he was sick for a good two week period.
Then Derrick got sick, for a good 10 day period.
The past month I have been playing nurse for both of them.
Now they're both better, whew!
Even though he's been sick, he has been bursting with energy!
Here he is enjoying his apple.
He loves to bang stuff together and make noise.
He also has learned that he doesn't like things taken away from him.
Derrick is now a crawling, standing pro. I think it's a matter of weeks until he figures out to balance himself without holding on to anything, and then he will start walking!
He's super slow on the teething department, the second tooth is really playing hard to get. Top two are playing peekaboo as well. We will wait and see, but it's been making Derrick wake up numerous times during the night.
Gma, Gpa and Aunt Grace from Seoul are coming in couple months!
It has been snow storming and temperatures have dropped below freezing thanks to snowstorm Hercules. Today was a record breaking -15F. It hasn't been this cold since 20 years ago. 0_o
Derrick has not gone outside the past week or so. All of us are going stir-crazy and developing a serious case of cabin fever.
So it's pretty difficult to entertain and amuse this little man of ours, what with little toys we have.
But, Derrick has kept himself busy hitting all these milestones he's been working on for quite some time now.
Here's Derrick getting a ride along in the laundry basket
And here he is working real hard to pull himself up in a standing position
Future progolfer in training! Playing with the swing weight.
AND HE FINALLY PULLS HIMSELF UP IN STANDING POSITION!
When he's bored of pulling himself up, watching washer and dryer is always a fun activity.
And of course playing with mommy's hands and his own hands is a fun pastime!
