Blast from the Past: Fifth baby. The finale.

Danica was born in December of 2008. It is hard to know that my last baby is no longer a baby. So sad and so beautiful at the same time. Ryan keeps telling me she is still a baby because he knows I miss having a baby. I love how young Derek looks holding his one day old baby sister. This was Danica's first trip to Disneyland. She was only four months old. Every time I look at this picture I see a different baby because I don't remember Danica looking like this. I cropped this picture to make it blogger friendly but she is showing the cutest bum in the original pose. Danica is unfortunately not a stranger to her stroller. Being the fifth child and very content she spends a lot of time tied up. It is easier for mom to chase only one child at a time. Danica's first birthday. This isn't the best photo of Danica with her Grandpa but I love it. Danica will be two in a few months. Wow time flies. She is a sweet little girl and her content personality makes things easier on mom.

Blast from the Past: Fourth baby. The Boy!!!

Derek or "the boy" as he is called around our house was born in November of 2006. I was excited to have a different kind of addition to the family. I had told Ryan that if baby #4 was girl it would be our last one so thanks for leaving room for little sis bud. Derek has always had three adoring fans. He loves to tease them and they love to tease him back.He got so chubby so fast. He has always looked just like his dad to me.If this isn't proof enough that he is a Lund you should see him eat popcorn. He loves Lightning. His first birthday was a lot of fun. Derek was the first kid I had that didn't need help opening his presents. I love the serious look he is giving to his sisters. "These are my presents, hands off." One year old. Derek is a sweety. He is quick to smile and loves to have fun. He potty trained this year and mom is a bit tired after all of that work. Whenever Derek is in public he has the attention of all those around him. People love to talk to him or comment on him. Love ya bud.
