18 Months





Baby D is quickly growing out of his baby phase! He seems to have hit the beginning of his terrible twos a bit early and has been throwing some fun little tantrums here and there. Unlike Luke, who was fairly un-ruffle-able, Derek can get very sad and very offended and is sometimes very hard to console.


Luckily he is also hilarious! He has started to blow raspberries and click his tongue and make weapons sound effects and sing little songs and just be more noisy in general. As far as actual words go, though, he hasn't really said any new ones in a while. I think all of us are pretty good at interpreting his squawks and grunts, so he can't really see the point. 



Derek loves to point out dogs and babies and cars and birds, loves to wear hats, and loves to use Luke's toothbrush. His appetite is nice and healthy and has made him nice and round and squishy, which is especially nice since he loves to give snuggles and squeezes around the neck. He loves to be outside so that he can find water and dirt and rocks and sticks. Between he and Luke there are always nice little piles of debris outside our front door. 



I'd say the best description I've heard of Baby D recently was from Baga, who described him as a "nice, soft little bowling ball."
