Derek (3.5 yrs)

Derek is so creative and uses his great imagination when he plays with his vehicles. I LOVE listening to the stories and scenarios he creates. Derek has been going on 5 mile bike rides with us while we run and push Rylie in the jogging stroller. We LOVE this time as a family. We LOVE to be active together and we have so much fun chatting, singing, and looking at nature. Derek has also begun to write his own name. Its soo cute and we are so proud of him. Derek is so sweet to his sister. He encourages her, plays with her and treats her just like one of his friends. He has such a sweet heart. I LOVE listening to the conversations they have. Derek is very independent and responsible. Derek has basically stopped napping (naps once every other week) but will play in his room for about an hour a day during "quiet time." This has been a tough transition because my alone time is short, but on the positive side Derek now goes to bed at 6:30/7:00pm instead of 9:00pm so Matt and I have much more time together in the evening!! We love you buddy.
Derek LOVES to take pictures
