5 months old


Where does the time go? I can't believe Devin is 5 months old already. He is growing like a weed...ok a very chubby weed :) He is discovering many wonderful things lately...like his toes. He likes to suck on them :) I don't know why...but I think it is about the cutest thing!
He has also decided that maybe sleeping all night is not the best idea. I must say the I don't agree with him. 4 am is not my favorite time of day! Hope he grows out of this little phase soon, I don't do well without sleep.

He loves to play in his exersaucer and is trying to figure out rolling over...that is a work in progress still. His sisters are wonderful at entertaining him...he loves to laugh with them.

Still no tooth, but he is constantly chewing on his fingers and covered in drool...maybe soon. With all the business we have had I never got him in for a 4 month check up...and by the time I called to schedule one they were booked through the thrid week in July. At least the is just after he turns 6 months old so we'll be somewhat back on schedule...sort of.

Our Graduate

Taylor's Kindergarten graduation was on May 22. She was so excited! This child of ours has done so well in Kindergarten and has learned so much. She is an excellent reader and also enjoys math and practicing her handwriting. We are so very proud of her and the wonderful job she did in her first year of school. She had a wonderful teacher who Taylor is going to miss very much. Thanks Mrs. Gardner!
Taylor spent most of May counting down the days until the last day of school. She was quite eager to be out of school for the summer! The graduation was cute. The kids had practiced quite a bit and they did great! They marched in and then sang 3 songs...Taylor knew one of them so well that she got to be a helper in leading the others (she was very excited about that).
Then they got their certificates and got to have cookies and punch. Now an official kindergarten graduate, we all headed over to Taylor's classroom to pick up her report card and to get a picture with her teacher.
So now we get to enjoy summer and do swimming lesssons and have lazy days. We'll pretend that the first day of school isn't already right around the corner :)!

We're so proud of you Taylor!

Our Water Baby

A couple of weeks ago, we decided that it was time for Devin to take a dip in the pool. We bought this cute little baby floatie at Target and he was set. The water was a little cool so I thought he might not be too fond of it, but as always he proved me wrong! We stuck him in there and what do you think he did??? He laughed!!! I was sure he would cry, but he laughed. He hung out in the pool for quite a while and enjoyed ever minute of it.

Out of order

Hello all-

Our computer broke last week and we have not gotten a replacement yet. We are waiting for my Brother in law (our computer guy) to get home from vacation and take a look at the old one. maybe he can fix it but we are not too hopeful. I can use Loren's laptop for email and stuff, but can't download our vacation pictures onto it. So for those of you waiting to see our Hawaii pictures, keep checking back...I'll get them on as soon as I can!
