Weight: 14 lbs 50%

Derek turned 3 months on the 19th. Time is flying by so fast.
We all just love watching the stages that he is going though.
I does not like tummy time but doesn't he hold his head up so well. I love to listen to him talk to me. The other night I started to softly tickle him and he started to laugh. It was so cute to watch him. He is grabbing on to things now. When ever I try to put him done he has got a hand tightly gripped around my shirt. He also loves to suck on this first and middle finger on his left hand (so does Jackson). Its so fun to see how he is different and similar to Erica and Jackson.
He keeps growing chunkier and chunkier everyday. I love it. Those cheeks are so soft you just have to kiss them.

Jackson made our bed. Isn't he such a great helper!?
(This is our new bed. I just love it. We also got it for a great price that made it even better.)

Erica: "Dad are you thinking you know what I'm thinking?"

Dad: "I think I do."

Erica: "I'm thinking this isn't very fun."

Brent had "Young Men" on Tuesday Night. They played volleyball with the Young Women. I thought that it would be fun for all of us to go together so the kids and I could get out of the house. The weather here has been miserable (Mostly wind). Upon arriving at the church, Jackson found a basketball that kept him occupied the entire time we were there. Erica stayed with Brent and watched the kids play. It was while they were watching that Erica and Brent had the little monologue above. Kids say the funniest things.

"How to make a Sandwich" By, Erica


1. Get out the Bread, Mustard, Mayo, Cheese, and Turkey.
2. Spread the Mayo and Mustard on bread.
3. Slice the cheese with cheese slicer.
4. Place Cheese on Bread.
5. Place Turkey on Bread.
6. Put the top on.
7. Enjoy!!!
8. All of this is done while looking absolutely gorgeous.

Erica loves to make her own Turkey sandwich. That's all she wants to eat, and I think its because she gets to make it herself. A couple of weekends ago I took Jackson to the the store with me and while I was gone Erica got everything out herself and made lunch for her and Brent. It was so cute. She is growing up so fast.

I love my cute kids!
(Don't you love how Jackson is so proud of himself for unwrapping his diaper?!)
