Derek is now seven months old! He's starting to show more signs of growing up: There's a little tooth coming in (which means he really wants to chew on our fingers), he's pushing himself up, and he's wrestling with his big brother. Of course, he's smiling and happy virtually all the time - it's really a joy to watch him interact with people, and smile back at them. First thing in the morning is the best time, because he gives everyone a big smile and kicks his legs and makes talking sounds.
Here we see Derek doing some push-ups while Drew gets ready for bed, some fun in the bouncy-chair, bath, and at the same graduation party that Drew was attending last night.
Sleep update: Derek is now able to sleep up to 7 hours on a fairly regular basis. He may get up once in the night about 50% of the time – a huge improvement over the last few months, which we are tremendously thankful for! Our most recent challenge in this department is that Derek is now sharing a room with Drew, so when Drew wakes up at 6am and screams MAMA! at the top of his lungs, it tends to wake the little guy :-(
