Derek is so hilarious! You forget how much you enjoy the different stages.
Derek is a baby of very strong emotions. Things are wonderful and fun and hilarious and happy and then suddenly they are terrible and scary and uncomfortable and the worst. Derek's you-won't-give-me-what-I-want cry is the same as his just-got-hurt cry, so it's hard to tell what's happening sometimes. He loves having people around and will delightedly yell your name when he sees you as if you were his most favorite person in the world. He can also cry big, sad, pitiful tears and then stop immediately if he finds something that interests him. He loves to have his picture taken and will cheese it up whenever he can.
Derek is also a terrific dancer. Music feeds his little baby soul and he will dance regardless of what's playing. He has a few different types of dance moves--the traditional toddler bending of the knees, a barely perceptible little side-to-side wiggle, the belly bounce, and a nice shoulder shimmy.
And best of all, Luke and Derek have such a great time making each other giggle. Derek has the most adorable, contagious little laugh that makes strangers stop and smile. We are so blessed to have such a delightful little soul in our family!
