Happy Birthday Devan (and Jason)!

Devan our nephew is in town this weekend, his twin brother Jason was not able to come this trip. We had a birthday dinner tonight for Devan as him and Jason will be turning 20 on the 6th. My Mom also came by to celebrate and visit Baby D. Funny we were talking tonight about how I first met the boys when they were just 9 years old! Time goes so fast!

Devan is on crutches because he was the innocent bystander that was shot a few weeks ago at a Movie theatre in Torrance. We feel very lucky that he did not have more serious injuries, and glad he is okay.

Soooo... we didn't have happy birthday so we put "Congratulations" on the cake :)


Making a wish..

My amazing camera lens :)

Grandma and Baby D

Mother's Day Started Early..

My Mom got me a GREAT mother's day gift... a new camera lens! This one is a Canon 55mm f/1.8...

I read about it on this Mamarazzi blog and I have been wanting it ever since. You can read about it at the link below, I am still learning --but I had fun playing with it today.

Growing fast..

Baby D is learning new tricks every day. It is hard to keep up. You can see from his pictures below he is now pulling up on things, including his crib. We are going to have to lower it... he also is teething pretty bad. Both bottom teeth and both top teeth came in within the last two weeks, he is doing pretty well all things considered, but he seems to be changing into a little boy right before my eyes.. maybe because he is.

"modeling"

So Auntie Natalie got this jacket for Baby D, I have been wanting to take pictures of him in it for a while.. since we were on a roll I figured today was the day. As I was trying to convince him to do it, I think I mentioned that Auntie Natalie gave it to him and she is a model so this would be fun.. I think he tried to show up his "competition", he looked pretty cute in it.. :)

Baby-Ness

I realized that I did not have many pictures of Baby D in just his diaper, you know the ones you later put in his senior yearbook or show to girlfriends who come over ... :) So I decided to take some pictures in all his "baby-ness"

He was bored with the idea..

Humm.. Conductor?

His new thing is to blow raspberries.. fun especially when he is eating!

His favorite Teddy Bear joining in the fun!
