While we're on the Topic...

Since I just blogged about Hannah, I'm going to post some of my all time favorite pictures of her. 

taking after her mama :) Hannah loves her some basketball!

look at that face lol

spaghetti face!

she's getting so big. Almost too big for her crib.

Hannah at 18 months

Our sweet little Hannah is not so little anymore! She turned 18 months when Dev was born (the day after he was born to be exact). She had her 18 month check up and did awesome. She was 36 inches tall and 28 lbs. Luckily she didn't have to get any shots and doesn't need any shots till she goes to Kindergarten woo hoo!!! She continues to amaze us with her spunky rambunctious attitude and her little "hannahisms" as we call them. She's quite hilarious and keeps us on our toes! She loves to be loud and if we ask her to be quiet it's sort of a joke, she just gets louder and louder. She says a ton of words now and is quick on her feet (literally). Her auburn hair is sadly turning browner as she gets older. She's ot our little baby anymore but more of a little girl, it's great but sad all at once.

Hannah loves to be outside exploring, catching bugs, eating bugs, collecting rocks, playing in mud, eating mud, loves playing in water and puddles, loves her pink tutu, her monkey we gave her as a baby, loves Curious George, Daniel the Tiger, Despicable Me, Frozen, and Hercules. She loves to color, draw on anything and everything (including herself), loves to be in nursery, and above all... she absolutely loves and adores her daddy which melts my heart. She's so loud and lively we think it's great. We always know where she is and she loves saying hi to anyone as long as Sean or I as by her. Overall we wouldn't change her for the world. She makes us laugh, cry, exercise patience, makes our love grow stronger and bigger everyday, and above all I can't believe she's ours. I like to watch her when she's in my arms sleeping and study her. She is my biggest creation, my wonder, my whole being. I adore her and will forever love her! I still sit in awe as I watch her play, she amazes me and am so grateful God gave her to me. I am SO in love with this little lady.

Have you seen a sweeter face?!

4 months!!!

Holy cow my little boy is 4 months old!! He's growing so dang fast! He's now in size 9 month clothing and is quickly growing out of that size! At his 4 month check up he weighed 19.3 lbs, 26 in. long, and 17.5 head. He's now in the 96% percentile. He also got his shots and did better but still had that blood curdling high pitched cry that breaks my heart. He came home and slept for a good 4 hours and was up and at it again.

Dev has become quite the wiggle worm. He loves to arch his back and roll from side to side. He still hasn't flipped over yet which I'm not too worried about. He still has orange hair and bright blue eyes. he's quite the lady's man and is loving tummy time now. He loves his blanket. When he's having a hard time I drape his blankie on him and he calms right down. He's such a sweetheart. Hannah can now say his name! She says "dewo dewo dewo" all around the house now. It's really really cute. We love our little man!

Dev is 3 months!!

Time sure flies when you're having fun! Dev is now 3 months old! He loves to smile, laugh, kick, LOVEs bathtime, loves daddy's voice, and is overall the sweetest most chill baby ever. He sleeps really well, eats really well, and spits up really well too! he loves to over eat and ends up throwing up from over eating, it's just so much fun! he hasn't rolled over yet. His Dr. said he'd be shocked if Dev ever rolled over because of how chubby he his. He still hates tummy time and loves to be held. When he sleeps he sometimes screams in his sleep. I don't know if he's too young to have nightmares or night terrors but it's really sad. I try to wake him up and sometimes it's worse. We let him wake himself up and then console him after. It's sad to watch. His hair is still orange and his eyes are blue as can be. He looks a lot like grandpa Bowman and Call. He's such a good mix! he has HUGE hands and feet too! Hopefully he'll like sports ;)

Dev turns 2 months!

Deveroux turned two months on May 2nd (obviously). We went to his 2 month check up and he passed with flying colors! He weighed in at 15.5 lbs was 24 in. long and 15.5 in for his head which puts him in the 95% percentile. Hannah was 13 lbs at her 2 month check up so I figured Dev would be close to that weight but when I saw that he weighed a whopping 15 lbs I was shocked! He's already trying to outdo his big sister :). He got his 2 month shots and that wasn't pleasant at all for him. He cried and cried and cried and for a baby who hardly ever cries this was heartbreaking. He has this high pitched blood curdling cry too. Hannah was just loud but his is really really sad. We gave him some tylenol and that helped him a ton. He came home and slept a lot that day and the next day he was back to his normal smiley self.

Dev has become quite the charmer too. The teenage girls in our ward always gawk over him and he loves every minute of it. He'll smile really big, get a little bashful, and then play peek a boo with them behind my shoulder. It's absolutely adorable. If a man tries to make him smile though, watch out. Dev will pucker his bottom lip out and whimper, it's really cute too.

Dev is definitely a mama's boy and I love it. Sean, grandma and grandpa Bowman try to hold him and he doesn't like it. He searches for me (even though I'm right next to him) and demands to be put back in my arms. he's such a sweetheart. He's started giggling and is very alert. He hates tummy time but loves his big sister. He squeals when she gets close and then she gets excited and then we have to pick him up before she sits on him. It's quite the ordeal let me tell ya!

His classic face. LOVES his tongue!

both my babies loved this position when they were first born.

chunskter!

always so happy!

growing too fast :(

More of Dev's first month

I feel so bad. When we had Hannah I was on the ball and blogged all the time about her and was so caught up with every month etc. With Deveroux (we call him Dev for short) I'm MONTHS behind on writing about him so prepare for an overload of pictures, months and milestones :)

Here are some pics of Dev during his first month!

He's such a swerious little boy. We sure love him though!

Deveroux's Blessing

Three short weeks after Dev was born we were able to bless him at church. My parents were able to come up (hence the reason he was blessed so soon after he was born) and we had close family and a few friends in Dev's blessing circle.
 
Sean gave Dev a beautiful short and sweet blessing. I of course cried. Dev did so great the whole time. He was swaddled in one of Grandma Bowman's white blankets and he even wore the outfit Sean was blessed in when he was a wee babe. It was very sweet. Dev slept the whole time and didn't even make a peep. He was amazing and so was his daddy. I'm so grateful for the worthy men in our lives to help Sean bless our sweet little boy!!!

We took pictures a few hours after Dev was blessed (totally dropping the ball on the second child lol) so we got to dress him in his cute little blessing outfit again :)
