The Birthday Boy!

Devyn and Bre

Getting ready for some hokey pokey!

Our good friend Anthony had his first birthday party at Gymboree. What a great time we had! I loved all the activities and I especially loved playing on all the cool equipment and with the other kids! Great Party! :)

Park Pictures

Here are some pictures of Devyn at the park! She absolutely loves to be outside! We've been lucky enough to have some nice warm days this spring, but it doesn't seem to matter the weather, she wants to go outside!

April took Devyn and Kaylee to the park, she is quite the little explorer. I love the pictures of her going down the slide head first! :)

Peek-a-boo! Do you see me!

There is a small playground in our neighborhood that I will take Devyn to some days after I get home from school. She loves exploring nature- especially crunching any old leaves on the ground

She thinks she can crawl up the slide.

Swinging is an all time favorite

15 months old!!! (well almost)

Devyn is almost 15 months old! We definitely have a little toddler on our hands. She starting to become picky about what she eats, she gets mad when she doesn't get her way and she has learned the next greatest word after NO, MINE. Even though we have a spoiled girl on our hands she's still just the cutest thing there is and we love her very much :)
Devyn eating popsicles! This is her first popsicle.

Devyn and Daddy

Devyn with her pj blanket

She loves to crawl underneath her horsey. She's like a little explorer

Just too cute

Devyn loves to be outside! She likes watching the horses close to our house and neighborhood dogs.

She's trying to master the front flip. As of right now she gets about that far and then wants us to flip her the rest of the way over!

Baking her first cake! She was fascinated by the mixer.

Singing and Dancing

Devyn has always loved to listen to music. Grandma Finley bought her a toddler MP3 player for Christmas and she is always carrying it around and "singing" and clapping her hands. Plus she LOVES to dance. April does ring around the rosie with Devyn and Kaylee during the day and when I came home one afternoon Devyn was spinning in circles and falling down. I couldn't figure out what she was doing until April explained it to me. Now she knows just what to do when we sing the words to the song

Listening to Devyn's favorite song on the MP3 player- "If Your Happy and You Know It". She loves this song! She's figured out the clapping and stomping your feet part but hasn't gotten the "hooray" part down yet. Here she is singing it and trying to perform it. Also in this video you will see that Devyn loves to use her pj's as blankets and she'll cover herself up with them... it's so cute.

New Experiences!

Devyn had a busy day last Friday! During the day, April (our nanny) brought bubbles for Devyn and Kaylee to play with. This was Devyn's first time with bubbles and from the looks of things she really enjoyed them!

Later that night Devyn went to her first professional basketball game. We all went to watch the Pacers play the Houston Rockets. It was quite the experience! Devyn is not quite old enough to sit still in a seat and she was way more interested in the people around her than what was going on on the court. But we still had a good time! :)

A rare moment with Devyn actually watching the game.

She's all smiles!

More chair climbing

So just climbing up into chairs has now gotten boring. Now, she thinks she should try to climb up the bigger chairs ( I don't know if you can tell in the picture or not but her feet are up off the seat of the chair and on the back) And out of the smaller chairs she thinks she should be doing flips to get out of them. Of course this does not work out so well since she has no idea how to actually flip.

1-year old pictures.... a little late!

With Devyn's birthday being in December, things were just a little too hectic to get her one-year old pictures taken on her actual birthday. So we went a month late... After an hour of chasing her around the studio and begging her to sit still and look at the camera, I was exhausted! But we got some pretty cute pictures none the less. Here are my favorites
