Getting Cooler!

It has slowly been getting cooler here. To us, cold is anything in the 60's! I am loving dressing Devin in some of her winter clothes. Chris walked in one day and they both had their hoods on. I thought it was so cute, so of course I had to get a pic of my loves!

Then daddy got one of two of his girls!

And I just love this little outfit on Devin, plus, she was demonstrating her new standing skills. She is quite efficient at it now!

The Park

While we were in Austin visiting Tia Awol, we decided to take Devin to the park. She got to ride on a swing for the first time and go down the slide. One of her friend's met us there with their son. Devin got really shy while we were there which was really sort of funny to me. We went to play with Levi at his house afterwards for a bit and she started to come out of her shell once we got there!

Walking and Climbing

While we were at Tia Awol's, Devin really started using her walking toy. She also got to have her first go at climbing the stairs! She is all over the place these days! On numerous occasions now, Devin has taken a few independent steps too! I don't think it will be much longer before she is walking all over the place!

Devin was so proud everytime she walked. I of course had the camera sideways and don't know how to rotate a video but you can still see her in action!


And she also loves to push it on her knees!

To Tia Awol's We Go!

Last weekend I packed up Devin and the dogs and we went on our first road trip without Daddy! I was nervous about how it would all work out, but it was all great and we are looking forward to many more. Tia Awol was great at helping me out anywhere that Daddy normally would have. Thanks for a great weekend Tia Awol! We love you so much and are looking forward to our next visit!

10 Months Old!

From October 09


I cannot believe Devin is 10 months old! What is she up to these days?

Devin weighs 19-20 pounds and is almost 30 inches long!

Devin wears a size 3 diaper but can also wear a 4.

Devin is in 9-12 month clothes!

Devin is no longer eating any purees. It happened almost overnight that she went from us feeding her purees to her feeding herself table foods. She really enjoys meal times these days. It is especially fun when we got out to eat and she gets something from our plate as well!

Devin is saying more and more words that sound like something. She says mama, dada, and dog. She also says what sounds like "I did it" and "I see".

Devin is obsessed with the animals. She loves to pet them and play with them any chance she gets.

Devin dances when she hears music she likes....I think she gets that from her momma!

It amazes me how fast Devin is growing up. She just seems like such a big girl these days. She has a little mind of her own and is so deliberate in her actions. And the best part is that she is such a happy little girl!

Our baby girl is such a joy to us!

In this video she is just barely dancing..but you can see her bouncing a little


And in this one if you listen closely at the beginning you can hear her say "I did it"


Obsessed

Devin is obsessed with the animals lately! Everytime I turn around she is trying to play with a dog or pet a cat!

Baby Legs

Recently I read about baby legs. They are basically little leg warmers for babies. I had gotten some a few weeks ago to go under Devin's dresses on days when it was cool in the morning but warm by the afternoon as well as to wear around the house while crawling on our cold floors. I can hardly resist her chunky little legs in them! They came in super handy during the days I was home with her when she was sick too and make diaper changes so much easier too!
