Baby D is such a charmer. He giggles and grins all day long. He giggles when you tickle him, he giggles when you change his clothes, he giggles when you play peek-a-boo and throw him up in the air. Things that are usually a chore when taking care of a baby are easy and fun with Baby D, because he honestly seems like he's always having a blast.
Derek loves people--give him a grin and you're his new best friend--but he especially loves his big brother. Anytime Luke comes in the room he follows him with his eyes everywhere he goes, and is ready with a huge grin and excited wiggles if Luke looks in his direction.
Baby D is very observant and hates to miss out on anything; he gets very distracted when nursing and is always trying to turn and look behind him whenever you're holding him. He has always had a very strong neck and is now working on his legs, preferring to stand most of the time. He rarely cries--it takes something really hurting or scaring him to get a good solid cry--but instead has more of a complaining kind of sound when he gets tired or hungry. He's on is way to sleeping through the night but is a bit of a nigh-owl, partying until way later in the night than mom and dad want to be awake.
All-in-all, he's just the cutest little guy we've ever seen.
