Happy 3rd Birthday Devyn!

Silly Boy

Caleb LOVES to get into everything!  He's always climbing in to boxes, in the cabinets and the pantry.

Bath time!  If I can put it in my mouth, I WILL :)

Climbing into the bathtub toy tub :)

Going to be just like my daddy!

Climbing even more!! Up on the chair, up on the railing and over the railing if I can!

How did I get myself stuck in here?!? Oh yeah... I love to get myself into stuff!

Napping with Beans!

Beans is my buddy and I Love him :)

Strong Boy!!!

Brother/Sister Love

Devyn taking Caleb down the slide :) They love climbing on this and going down the slide together!

Dancing!! :) We LOVE to dance!  We always dance as a family- Hokey Pokey, Ring around the Rosie and Happy and You know it are some of our favorites!

Giving hugs :) Devyn has been such a good big sister. Always sharing and loving her brother

Say Cheese!

Driving their car together! 

More hugs!

Devyn is teaching Caleb how to color all over the table!  He thinks it's great :)

Riding Thomas Train outside- Such a cool toy- too bad it's too hard for them to work by themselves :(

This one is so much better!  Devyn even lets Caleb drive!

I Love my Brother!

As Caleb gets older and more able to do things with Devyn, we've had our fair share of problems with Devyn wanting to share!  But I must say that she is really a good big sister.  She watches after Caleb and is always telling him the right thing to do- she's also quick to tell me when he's doing something he shouldn't be!  I love seeing how close they are becoming.

Caleb turns 1

Caleb's 1st Birthday Party

Devyn Turns 2!!

Devyn is already 2 years old! So hard to believe!! She has turned into quite the little helper. She loves to help cook dinner and help wash dishes. It amazes me everyday how much she knows and how well she talks. She puts together very good sentences and is very inquistive. She carries around her books like she would a baby doll or blanket, she even takes them to bed with her... it's funny because I'll hear her trying to "read" even when the lights are out and she's supposed to be sleeping! So funny! She is still as active as ever, she loves to run and jump all over the place. It's a very rare time if she's sitting still. Her 2 year old stats are:
height- 34 3/4 inches- 70%
weight- 29.8 lbs- 80%
head- 49 cm.- 85%
Helping mommy wash dishes!

Taking her dolls down the slide

We made the transition to the big girl bed! This DID NOT go well. It took several months (since I'm writing this 6 months late!) for her to get used to her big girl bed and to stay in it all night. We had to put a child handle on the inside so she couldn't get out and come sneaking into our bed at night!! Brandon and I spent several nights on her floor, she spent many nights on a mattress on our floor and we all spend many sleepless nights crammed into a bed together. Finally 6 months later, I think she's comfortable! It's very rare for her to get out of bed now :) One huge Blessing!!

So cute in her bed! Still with the paci... maybe at 3 it will be gone??

In her new jammies she got from her Nana Walker for Christmas, complete with headband and slippers! :) She's also got her new baby doll from Grandma Finley.

Fun with Grandma and PawPaw

Riding the Horse at Meijer!
Devyn LOVED her adventure at Meijer where PawPaw showed her how to put the penny in and ride the horse at Meijer. She still talks about it to this day (and these pictures were taken after Thanksgiving!) Whenever she finds a penny she says "I use this to ride the horse with PawPaw"
Holding on to Caleb to make sure he doesn't fall off

Swimming!!!

The first time Devyn wasn't afraid to put her head in the water or to get splashed in the face! She really enjoyed swimming with Grandma

All by herself, she thought she could go anywhere! Unfortunately she doesn't understand that she can't touch the ground in the whole pool

Splashing

Caleb enjoyed splashing the water

Just a little too cold for Caleb!
