Missing Sissy

One night recenly, Devin was up WAY past her bedtime. We had just had new windows installed and she was at the end of having croup and being off all week with mommy, so her schedule was totally off, and I had been working hard to wash all the bedding in all the rooms, and clean all the floors and dust everything really well. This night, I was making Kortnee's bed after washing the sheets while Devin "helped" me in her room. Once the bed was made, she wanted up to pose for a few pictures so she could tell her sissy how much she wishes she was here and how much she loves her room!

The Best Child in the House

Even though it was Valentines weekend, Chris and I decided to brave the crowds and go to our favorite place for dinner. It was totally packed with familys and lots of kids who were acting totally unruley with parents paying no attention to them. We waited forever for a table, awhile for someone to take our order and even longer for our food. Devin was the most well behaved kid in the place! Thank God for her recent love affair with crayons, that sure helped with the wait! Sorry for the dark phone pic!

14 Months!

Devin is 14 months old already! I can hardly believe it!

Devin weighs around 23 pounds.

Devin is wearing size 12-18 clothes. I have been buying size 18-24 in anything else I buy at this point for winter so it will get her through the beginning of next Winter. I am also buying 18-24 months for summer stuff so it will get her through the Summer.

Devin is wearing a size 4 diaper.

Devin is wearing a size 5 shoe.

Devin has 9 teeth. That 8th and 9th tooth just came through a few weeks ago and is still making it's entrance. The 9th one is a canine!

Devin has gotten really good at using her spoon this month and loves to feed herself with it. At home, she often picks things that are not in her bowl up and drops them in her bowl so she can pick them up with the spoon too.

Devin likes to say hi, hi, hi to anyone who will look! She waves too! She also says momma, dadda, uh oh regulalry. She often repeats a word you say as well.

If I ask Devin to bring something to me, or to take something to daddy, she often understands what I am telling her and does it!

We are teaching Devin how to blow kisses and she tries to do it. It is so cute when she puts her hand to her mouth. She hasn't quite got it yet, but she tries when we are both showing her.

Devin is speaking all sorts of jibberish, forming some different letters and sounds together. I just wish I knew what language it was in because she carries on full conversations these days.

It has been tantrum central around our house lately. Devin was home all week last week with croup and may have gotten a little spoiled because she is throwing tantrums left and right now. I hope that ends soon.

I noticed a little picture on the wall that Devin had made at daycare so I decided to let her draw at home too. That has quickly become one of her favorite things to do these days. She has completely forgotten about her kitchen for the time being.

She still loves the animals and pets them constantly. Her petting has gotten a little harder this month, so we are having to really keep an eye on her with them.

She is such a little person these days and brings a smile to our faces every single day!

Silly

While we were and my parent's house, Devin was acting very silly. This was the day after her steroid shot and she hot lots of energy and we thought she was doing so much better. Little did I know that by the next day, when it wore off and she got more congested, that she would be pathetic again.

This is all sorts of wrong, but she was laughing so hard, my mom and I couldn't resist recording it.

Grandparents

Thank God for grandparents! I wish they all lived close by! Devin and I were getting really stir crazy this week after being couped up in the house together. We needed a change of scenery so we went to my parent's house for a little while one day. They also babysat one night so Chris and I could get a much needed break and go to the rodeo with some of our good friends. Devin had fun playing with her Dinco and Grandmommy. She even said Grandmommy the other night while my parent's were babysitting!

This is Jurasics. Devin loves him and he loves to stalk her the entire time she is at their house.

My mom found these totally overpriced dressed up mice that I had as a child. Devin loves playing with them.

Sharing the mouse with Dinco and showing it to Jurasics who is always dying to get ahold of it!

She loves this shelf. It has my brother's cars from when he was little lined up on it. She goes and gets those cars every single time we go over there and plays with them.

Long Week

This has been a long week in our household! As posted before, Devin has croup. I hate croup. It was scary the first day or two, especially the first night she had it. One of us was up with her almost the entire night because she couldn't breath well when we would lay her down. I took her to the Dr on Monday were she got a steroid shot which helped with the breathing. Then there is the horrible congestion and cough that follows the initial barking seal cough. The cough she has now is so bad that it makes her throw up sometimes. Ugh! I feel so bad for her. She has no appetite and now has an ear infection as well. She is super needy and fussy and is throwing tantrums left and right. I think she is frustrated because she can't really tell me what she wants. All I know is I am so ready for her to start feeling all better, SOON!

I am so incredibly thankful for such an awesome husband and partner in parenting. I couldn't have asked for a better man in my life and daddy for our children. Kortnee and Devin are two lucky girls! I hope they realize it and (many many) years down the road marry a man that is as wonderful to them as their daddy is to us. I know how blessed I am!

Devin's newest thing this week is coloring. She loves it!

Croupy Baby

Devin has croup...poor baby. I took her to the doctor yesterday and they gave her a steroid shot and she feels much much better but we kept her home from school one more day because she still isn't eating very well.

Breakfast is about the only thing she has been eating. Today I gave her some cheerios and puffs to carry around and eat. Izzy thinks snack time on the floor is a great thing as Devin shares with her often!
