Derek's First Birthday!
Actually, this photo was taken the day before Derek turned one, but he was opening a present from his Aunt Nancy, so it was still a special occasion!
The present was a musical stuffed platypus which plays all sorts of tunes. Derek loves to dance to music!
He had a wonderful birthday, and got to splash in a baby-sized pool and eat cake and ice cream. What a lucky kid!!!
Grandma and Grandpa bought him a crab-shaped sandbox that he will enjoy playing in.
He is almost ready to walk, but resists talking (except for saying, "DaDa!" or "Dah!", which seems to mean "dog.")
He has a questioning kind of sound that he makes for almost all communication attempts, and he seems to understand a lot of the words that we use. If I tell him "no," he gets a very disgruntled look on his face and yells at me. But usually, he's a happy, smiling, laughing baby!

So glad you all could come to visit Don and me at the new house! We've been dying to show it off to everyone. And Derek gets cuter and cuter every time I see him!! Sorry about teaching him how to go up and down stairs!
