Derek Is Now 5 Months Old!

Wow time flies so fast. Seems like August 26th was just yesterday, when we were blessed with our little bundle of joy, Derek Joshua. He was 8 pounds 6 ounces and now 5 months later, he's twice that weight. Before we know it, we'll be celebrating his 1 year birthday.

This weekend was very chill and relaxing. On Saturday, we picked up a new glider rocking chair. Retailing at around $800, we got it for way less than that (thanks to craigslist). It is in great condition the best part besides its comfort is that it reclines! With my cousin Don's help, we brought it up to our apartment and then had a quick meal with the family (besides my parents because they are currently in the Philippines). Afterwards, we made a quick stop to one of our really good friend, Joel's place so he could see Derek. He hooked up Derek with a really cool winter jacket and he didn't get a chance to see him when he gave the gift. After our pit stop at Joel's, we headed to Babies R Us and picked up a few things, including some plastic solid food containers, new pacifiers, plastic bibs and a portable baby chair that attaches to tables. The day ended with Erica and I watching Bride Wars (bootleg copy) at home while Derek was asleep for the night.



On Sunday, we went to Sears for Derek's monthly pics. Not once did he cry or show the sleepy eyes. Afterwards, we got some sushi for lunch and picked up some teriyaki bowls for dinner. Towards the end of the evening, I picked up Erica's mom from the Amtrak and we ate our dinner.

Check out the pics from the shoot:
