Happy Late B-Day And Talking

Derek turned 25 on Valentines Day! Quarter of a century... Big day in our house! We were slackers and didn't take any pictures... We had a great day though!
As of Friday the 13th Kael is officially trying to talk. It is still nonsense for the most part, but the other day I caught him saying mama!! It wasn't mumbled or jumbled or nonsense!!! He clearly said MaMa!!! I of course called Derek immediately so that maybe someone would believe that my 6 month old said mama... He was sweet and believed me. However it got better! I desperately wanted someone else to hear it so that I wasn't crazy! He said it 2 more times that day for Derek and me!!! I'm NOT crazy!!! It was great! The best feeling in the whole world!!! Then the next morning Kael was up at around 6:30 so I was bringing him to my bed and Derek was leaving to go to the couch because he had a rough night, and I promise when Derek left the room (this was on his b-day) Kael looked up from the bed and said, "DaDa"!!! I promise he did! Of course Derek had left the room and couldn't hear it, but he did say it....

Unfortunately since then he hasn't said either mama or dada, but he is trying really really hard! It is too cute! He really likes saying the ba sound and mmmmm. This is long, but it really was special to me!

I had a great Valentines Day! I was able to spend the whole day with Derek!!! He still had to do some homework, but it was just really relaxing and great getting to spend the whole day together! Also my sweet hubby got me flowers!!

I love you sweetie!!!

Motorcycle, family pictures, and 6 months

Oh ya, Derek got a motorcycle. We have been thinking about it for some time now, and we finally did it! He leaves the car we recently got home with me and takes this to school. We sold both of our cars and got a pontiac G6 Gt with a warranty that should get us through med school and this motorcycle should help us save on miles before we go. Derek has never had an interest to really ride a motorcycle, and he is SUPER safe with it. He has the helmet, leather coat, gloves, etc to help with safety. It is all the other crazy drivers we are worried about so we say our prayers every morning! So far it has worked pretty well for us.
Derek's dad got a 1957 porsche. So we had to take a picture in it!!! =0) Oh ya and Derek got a hair cut. He has had it long since we got married, so it was a big step for us!!! We miss the longer curls, but I love the new do!






This is our first real family picture! I just can't decide... I'll let you pick!




Can you tell I have a hard time picking my favorite picture? This is Kael exactly 6 months old. He is the cutest ever! We love him so much!
