"Devin's First Real Smile"

Okay so obviously I made this picture part of my title because I love it so much!! It is just Dev's first real smile caught on camera, so I decided to share some of the other shots we got of him too :) He is such a cutie, but I'm his mommy (and bias) :) anyhow enjoy the pics.......

"Devin's Famous Faces"

I just wanted to keep this short, but share a few pictures of Dev's famous faces. I will list what we will have here.

Enjoy........... :)

1) Grumpy Face

2) Goofy Smile

3) Uh Oh Face

4) Big Smiley Face

"From 3lbs to 12lbs"

So I just thought it would be fun to compare a couple of pictures here. I wanted to show how small Devin really was at birth compared to him now at 12lbs and 3months old. Wow where does the time go he is getting sooo big already, I wont complain though I just want him healthy. So this is Dev's most recent 3 month old pic and his first born NICU pic enjoy........

NICU to NOW!!!!!! Wow what a difference!

"Our Sunday At The Park"

Not to much to say, except that we couldn't resist the beautiful day it was Sunday. We decided to meet my parents and hang out. Devin loves just hanging in the shade and kicking around on his blanky :) he is a sily little guy. He smiles up a storm now and coos all over the place, I can't wait for the giggle to happen. Enjoy our pics below...........

"Look At These Mommy Skills"

I was trying to make dinner tonight, just when Devin decided he would be awnery :) he always decides that at the most inconvenient times lol! Anyhow I just wanted to post this pic because I thought it was funny. I didn't know what to do, so I strapped him in his little harness, made a bottle, then fed him with one hand and cooked with the other :) now that is mommy skills, c'mon you have to admit. Chris walked in the door as I was doing this so I asked him to take a picture.

"Mommy and Devin's Day At The Pool"

Well I don't have a big long story I just wanted to share pictures of Devin, Me, and my sister at the pool. I forgot to post them before, so I'm putting them up for you all to see to. I do have to say though my little man looked so cute hanging on his lounge chair. I know I know I'm a little bias to him, but hey who isn't to there cute babies right :). Anyhow enjoy the pics I know I did.

"My Newest Project"

Okay all so I want everyone that checks this out to look at my newest project. I decided I needed to keep a journal of just my baby boy and his story. He had quite the story of how he got here, and his NICU stay etc.... So I will be documenting all of, the behind the scenes of the NICU that nobody got to see or knew. I'm ready to show it now so please I want you to all really get to know Devin and check out his new and very own webpage, and his story. :) go to www.mommyanddev.blogspot.com It is called "My Mommy Moments" I wanted to track all of this while it was still fresh in my memory. So I can remember my experiences with Devin,and so one day he can read and really know his own story.

What A Comparison"

So this picture I just thought I would give everyone an idea of how much little Devin really has grown. These outfits are the same, but obviously different sizes, he came home in the smallest one weighing 4lbs 130z. He now is in the big boy one weighing 11pounds even :) wow this really does show small Devin really was, it's crazy for me to look back at now. I loved this little onesy so much that when he grew out of it I decided to get one in his size now. Once I got home with the new one I realized how small his original really was, honestly this still doesn't do justice to how small he really was when he was born. I just thought it was the best way I could show you all wow though I can't believe it, he is honestly growing like a weed. It makes me a little sad, because before I know it he will be walking and talking, and being sassy :) If he is anything like his daddy he will be sassy. Well until next time..... :)

"Devin's Blessing Day"

Well Devin's Blessing was June 7th. It was such a special day, what a beautiful helathy baby boy I have now. My little man is weighing in at 11lbs now, almost quadruple what he was when he was born. He was just a little peanut at 3lbs, all I know is I was so grateful to have my sweet boy blessed. I'm grateful that he will have Heavenly Father to watch over him and guide him through his life. He has now been blessed with the spirit and so much love from his mommy, daddy, and other family. My hope for Devin is that he will always remeber Heavenly Father and that he is the reason that he has been given to Chris and I. He is who gave him the gift of life, what a comfort that is to me. I pray that he will always remember how loved he is and how all we want for him is the best. Devin Mommy & Daddy love you so much and cannot believe how big our beautiul boy is growing up already. We can't wait to keep on this journey with you and just fill you with love, hapiness, and hope. We love you so much little peanut.

With my parents.....

With Chris's parents.....
A little awnry for pictures :).......

" 2 Fun Filled Weekends In One Post"

Weekend @ Grandma and Grandpa Marcario's

Okay so I have had so many things to post it's insane! So I decided to just put Memorial weekend, and last weekend into one big post. I will start with last weekend Devin and I went and stayed with Grandma and Grandpa Marcario while daddy was out of town. We had a great time and pretty much mommy (me) didn't have to do much :) We went on a walk, and we napped together, Grandpa Even got a good nap in with Dev. We went to Baskin Robbins for ice cream, we barbequed we hung in the warm sun, what more could you ask for on your weekend! Thanks grandma and grandpa for letting the Devster and I come stay with you we love you!!

Memorial Weekend (pools,barbeques,baths, and the cabin)

Well we had quite the weekend!! First it all started at the pool with my mom and sister, Dev loves the sun already like his mommy :) unfortunately he can't actually have sun exposure or get in the pool yet, but he still enjoyed it from the shade. I did make sure I got one picture with him by the water so I could say he was there. I just loved taking my little baby to the pool it was soooo much fun! It's funny though how since I have had Devin I really notice that the simplest things are so important and so fun, mostly because they are being done with Devin and Chris my sweet little family.

I thought maybe I would follow up with Dev's first big boy bath over this weekend. He is such a hoot he totally loves the warm water being squeezed on him. You see I say his big boy bath, because beng in the NICU he could only have a basic wipe down sponge bath. He finally is big enough to put in the water and let him play :) I had to get it on film it was to important to pass up I had to remeber that sweet moment Chris and I had with our first born baby boy. So check out this film it's pretty adorable!!! :)


So although the pool bath and hanging with our sweet Dev was prety awesome we had to end on a good note by going to the family cabin with Chris's family Sunday night. We barbequed, went on walks, slept, made dev laugh for the first time and I got a picture, ate ate ate played some cards and then loved on eachother and our sweet baby!!! I can't imagine Chris and I's life without Devin now I truly can't it's nuts. Well enough writing and talk I have lots of pics below to enjoy :) until next time hope you all had a great Memorial Day!!!!!
