Couple of Milestones

Since the last time I wrote in our blog, there have been several new events and milestones. Its been almost a month in our new home and we are making progress in settling in. At the end of March, our lease at Mission Valley's Portofino Apartments was up and we were pretty much moved out of our former apartment. As a family, Erica, Derek and I did one last walk through and reflected on the year and three months that we spent living at Portofino. After all, our apartment was Derek's first home. Erica spent all of her pregnancy there and we brought Derek home from the hospital at that place. Lots of great times, but it was time to move on to bigger and better things, including our brand new house!










Couple of milestones. First off, Derek now eats baby food. We started him out on Gerber Baby Cereal Oatmeal. Now he's eating organic sweet potatoes, peas, carrots, summer vegetables, mixed vegetables, squash and brown price & peas. He is also eating organic bananas. Also, he can grab and drink out of a sippy cup. In addition to his daily breast milk, he munches on the contents of one of these bottled meals. Of course, everything is organic!



Today, Erica discovered our baby Derek's first tooth! She was feeding him some mixed vegetables baby food and next thing she knows, she hears a sound as if something was clicking on a spoon. As soon as I got home from work, Erica pointed it out to me and after further investigation, we concluded that its is first tooth. Its a really tiny and sharp one. We're very proud parents! He's growing up so fast. Derek is already 7 months and counting. Where has the time gone!?
