Update: Devin

My little boy is getting sooo big! He doesn't qualify as a "baby" anymore (even though he'll always be MY baby boy). Anytime I call him baby, he says, "No, Mommy, me big boy!"
I was on my old computer going through pictures this morning, and is so crazy to see how much he's grown. 
Look at this great picture I found from when he was 3 months old:

Gosh, how the time has FLOWN by!

He's almost 2 1/2 now, and is talking up a storm! He knows his numbers all the way up to 20, he can tell me which number is which if I point to them (even out of order), he knows his numbers up to 10 in Spanish. I can actually have a full blown conversation with him now :]. 

His loves:

• playing with Daddy
• giving Leilah hugs,kisses, and "talking" her
• playing with anything outside
• reading
• Cheerios, Mac n cheese, and Peanut butter and jelly
• Dora the Explorer, Bubble Guppies, and Max and Ruby(TV shows)
• swimming or playing in the bath
• milk!

His dislikes:

• going to bed and taking naps lol
• picking up his toys
• when Daddy has to go to work
• when Kailynn has to go back to her mom's house
• pouring water over his head in the bath

I wanted to make these lists, so that in a year from now, I can look back and compare how different he is!


Here's a couple pictures from the last few months :]

He loves animals :]

A Little Bit of Everything

Wow! I can't believe it's already been about 6 weeks since I posted last. Sheesssh! We've been pretty busy around here. I have so much to update on! 

Leilah's ears pierced 4/17

When Leilah turned 4 months old, we decided to take her to get her ears pierced. She did great! Barely even cried :]. 

My beautiful baby :]

Easter 4/24

We had so much fun this year! Kailynn was here, so on Saturday afternoon, the kids and I colored eggs with their cousins.

Then on Easter day, we got dressed up and had an Easter egg hunt at our house and the kids opened their baskets.

 Then later in the day, we went over to Jr's sister's house and celebrated Easter there with dinner and ANOTHER Easter egg hunt for the kids :]. It was a really great day and so much fun for us and the kids.

Jr and I got new tattoos 4/29-4/30

While in California for my grandmother's 80th birthday, Jr and I went to visit his cousin Robert, who is an awesome tattoo artist. Jr had been thinking about getting a tattoo for his father (who passed away in Nov. '09) and I had been wanting to get a tattoo in honor of my niece, Ojaio, who has Cystic Fibrosis. 

Jr's isn't finished yet. There is still a whole other part that he wants to add on. But I'll keep that a secret for him until he gets it down. I'll post another picture when he gets it finished.

Grandma's 80th Birthday Party 4/30

The whole reason we went to California for the weekend, was to be there for my grandmother's 80th birthday party. Most of my family had never met Leilah yet, and some hadn't even met Devin yet, so We thought it would be great to celebrate her birthday, and get to see all of the family. Here's some of my favorite pictures from the party:

Mother's Day 5/8

Mother's Day was also a fun day. Jr and the kids got me a really nice straightener for my hair (my old one was acting up) and we went out to lunch at Olive Garden. It had been such a long time since we had been there that it totally hit the spot :]. 

I loved these 3 pictures of me and my babies :]

These were the big things that have happened the last few weeks. But there are so many things I want to write about!
