Deven Month Eight

Here are some pictures from Deven's eighth month. Deven figured out how to push himself up to a seated position from his tummy this month and was VERY proud of himself when big sister noticed! Mali's new favorite phrase is "bad baby". She screams it particularly loudly when he tries to join her "picnics" which usually involve her favorite ice cream scoops and cones--items Devy particularly loves as well.

Roan is still very fond of the little guy, though did have a bad day this month and tossed (well, no, threw) a shoe in Deven's general direction. Upon questioning it seems he is not so fond of "watching" Deven from time-to-time when Mommy and Daddy have to leave the room. Fair enough, he is only 5!

Deven also got his first two teeth this month and moved out of Mommy and Daddy's room--Roan has been bumped to Mali's room until Deven sleeps a bit better at night. It didn't take long of being in his real crib to learn how to pull himself up to standing.

Deven Month Seven

Here are some pictures from Deven's seventh month. Deven is now sitting up all by himself and started "creeping" around the house as well, creating lots of headaches for big brother and big sister.

Roan's T-Ball Game

Here are some pictures from Roan's first t-ball game. Roan is LOVING t-ball and can't wait to play baseball next year!

Visit with "the Cousins"

Jan's sister, Elena, and her family came to visit us from Canada in March and it was the first time our kids had met any of their cousins. Needless to say, it was VERY exciting. It was all we could talk about for several weeks leading up to the visit and "the cousins" are still brought up on a near daily basis. Tanisha is 12 and Serena is 10 and the kids thoroughly enjoyed every minute with them. We are very grateful that they made the trip to see all of us!
