Derek smiling at big brother

Recently, Derek has been smiling a lot! He smiles most at big brother, I think!

Derek and Drew

Drew is really enjoying playing with Derek as much as he can. The other night, he put a train (Thomas!) in Derek's hand and said "Here, hold this!". Very sweet. Then he rubbed Derek's stomach. Derek is starting to smile now, but we haven't been able to catch it on film. Plus we're seeing much more wide eyes from him.

Drew holds baby Derek

Drew loves to hold baby Derek and talk to him and touch him gently on his head. He even gives him little kisses!
