Best picture yet!!

Natalie just made my day! She does that often - but today I needed it!! Again - if only someone had told me that kids would rather play with the stuff we already have around the house I would have saved so much money!!

Devyn had her 15 month doctor appointment today. Brant took her and he had a pretty difficult time! She did NOT want to be there and cried the entire time. Everything went well except for the fact that she has only gained 2 oz since her 1 year appointment. We have to add another snack in and follow the doctor's eating plan. So hopefully that works. Keep your fingers crossed. We need to fatten this kid up!!

We had a playdate this weekend over at Dave and Melissa's house! It was so much fun - and Melissa made the BEST chicken salad!! Thank you Dave and Melissa!! Here are Devyn and Jacob playing in the pool! They had so much fun!

Jacob chasing the bubbles and Devyn drinking the water - her favorite thing to do!!



Happy Devyn!!
Best Buds!!

More pics...

We had an awesome weekend! Thursday we went to the Billy Joel/Elton John concert at Wrigley Field. It was awesome! And Brant wins the husband of the year award! He stood in the rain and got soaking wet so we could have the best table at the rooftop. People were asking him to arm wrestler for our table! It was pretty funny!! But Devyn got to spend the night with my parents! Looks like she had lots of fun!!

She LOVES LOVES LOVES water! Here she is at my parents drinking from her water bottle. But she only loves water from a water bottle. And she won't let anyone else drink it...

She is into taking things out and putting things back in. And she is starting to LOVE puzzle type toys. Here she is playing with this toy car - in the front it has shapes where you have to put the correct shape back in. Drew says it is like giving the car gas :-) Pretty smart boy!




Just walking around!!


This was hysterical! We went into the building right behind us during our family walk and Brant put Devyn into one of these cut out spaces in the wall. He would take her down and she would do the sign for more. So he would put her back in. Then take her down and she would sign for more. It was pretty cute! Natalie has been working hard with the kids trying to teach them sign language! I think she is getting it! Although yesterday she had her binky, milk, food, and she kept signing for more! No clue what else she wanted!

Fun Weekend Pics!!

I had one of those weekends where I didn't get to see Devyn very much!! And I am missing her today!!

We did go to my parents house for a BBQ yesterday! It was so much fun. My mom put out the pool for Devyn and Drew! Basically all we did was eat!! And I am feeling it today :-(

Here is Devyn outside in the pool! She is fearless! I love that about her but it absolutely scares me!


My mom put out 2 bouncers for the twins! Well only Reid got to sit in it because Devyn climbed into the other one!! Sorry Brock!!

Outside at the pool!! Happy as can be!

My adorable nephews! Brock and Reid. Who look NOTHING alike!




My other adorable newphew! DREW!!

Lots of pics!!!

We had a pretty eventful weekend! We went to the zoo, Millennium Park, and the Children's Museum.

Here is Devyn tackling Jacob at Millennium Park. It was hysterical!! People around us were yelling "Jacob get up! Defend yourself!" Jacob would get up only for Devyn to come and tackle him to the ground again. I think she likes him...




This is our new thing - we have temper tantrums. I have no idea how to handle them so if anyone has advice please let me know. If I put her down this is what happens. She will scream and cry and eventually lay on her back and calm herself down. I hope she grows out of this FAST! Although she is still pretty cute even when she is crying!


Here we are at Millennium Park...




This picture is from the Children's Museum. We couldn't do much there because she is still too little but it was fun. A little boy took his first steps toward Devyn - that was pretty cool!


Devyn and Jacob playing with the bubbles!!



Devyn and Jacob at Millennium Park! Definitely BEST BUDS!!



Here we are at the zoo. She loved chasing the birds!


Sorry for the out of order pictures - still haven't figured that out yet. But Devyn LOVES whipped cream. She will go to the fridge and pull it out and bring it over to me or Brant. She is definitely my child...



Devyn and Natalie in matching headbands!! We love you Natalie!



This is Devyn after the fun filled day at the zoo. She fell asleep the minute we put her in her stroller.



Happy 4th of July - In my cute dress that daddy bought me!!
