No Talent Ass Clown was out today WOOO HOOO no waste of time tonight! So instead, I am posting some more photo's.

Devin Likes the Park

This was my attempt to get Devin to Nap, he refused for his morning nap then proceeded to be a crabby cakes all morning, so I took him for a long walk in hopes of him falling asleep. I had no luck, so I took him to the play park, then to a grassy park in hopes to wear him out. That worked! Ohh and off the subject, he looks so cute in red.

Photography Class Devin

Photography is hard when you have a no flash setting and a wiggly toddler.

Photography....

So I am still at the very beginning of my class, but here are some of my photo's "so far" I have along way to go, but these were from my first day out taking photo's where I did not have the camera on the "auto mode".

Girls Day Out

Since Devin was born, I have had a very small social life. So I decided that after a year, it was time for me to hang out with the girls. So I planned a day out wine tasting in the Livermore valley. A few of us rented a limo, and a few drove on their own. We had an awesome time. I even wish it was a longer day. Maybe I will just have to do it more often.

Devin's Stats

In lieu of Devin's 1 year old Well Baby Appointment, I thought I should share his stats.
At Birth Devin weighed 9 Pounds 4 Ounces and was 20 inches long.
at 2 Months he weighed 14.8 pounds(95%) and 24 inches(85%)
at 4 Months he weighed 17.8 pounds (90%) and 2' 1.5"inches (75%)
at 6 Months he weighed19.12 pounds (80%) and 2' 3.5" inches (80%)
at 9 months mommy lost her paperwork......or her mind...I am not even sure there was a 9 month appointment...hummmm
at 12 months he weighs 25 pounds (75%) and 2' 6.5" inches (70%)

He is evening out well. He is now wearing 18-24 month clothes, and 4-5 Diapers. He can now say momma, dad and kitty. He is officially walking, but crawls more often especially when he is in a hurry to get the kitty, or something else as entertaining. He loves to climb, he will climb on anything, if mom and dad let him. He still loves door handles, switches & buttons or remotes & phones more than any of his toys. He loves doggies and his kitties, much to daddies chargin. And up until last week, when he got the stomach flu, he was a great eater, a good sleeper, and a terrible napper, lets hope he fully recovers soon, really soon.

Busy Busy Busy....

We have been pretty busy these days, so not a lot of time to make new blog postings :o( Last weekend, we were all struck by a terribly horrible Stomach Flu, so glad that is over with. And I have started a photography class, so hopefully I will have some new cool photo's to post with! Here are a few from my first attempt at taking the camera off of the Auto mode, and yes they are of course of Devin.

Hats are Hilarious

So are Daddies!

Bath Time

Contrary to popular belief, bubbles do not taste as good as they look!

Devin loves bath time! His favorite part of bath time is playing with drain, and faucet.

Christmas at the Kopjak's

While in Arizona for Christmas, we celebrated Devin's Birthday, since it is on Christmas Eve! We gave him a little taste of Chocolate for the first time, and I think he skipped the cake entirely and just ate the chocolate frosting. And I think Devin is set with Presents, between Christmas and his birthday, he has a ton of great new toys and clothes, that should last him a while...(mom hopes)

We flew on Kevin's Birthday to Arizona for Christmas with my family. Devin had a great time, with all the room to crawl and walk from one side of the house to the other, he as well as I cannot WAIT to have a house with even a little of room for us! Come on intrest rates, pretty please come down a little.

Devin had a great time watching the roadrunners, and having Daddy run after them, was so much fun.

Sad Face

Is this not the saddest face ever?! Devin has always had crocodile tears whenever he is sad, but on occasion the lower lip makes an appearance, and I finally got a photo of it. He was a overtired and just wanted to go home at this point in the evening, he needs his "down time" before bed.

Christmas Time at the Ross's

We spent Christmas 2008 with the Ross's a few days early, since we would be heading to Arizona to spend Christmas with my family. Devin had a great time! He loved the fruit salad, and after dinner he had no interest in opening his presents, but he certainly enjoyed playing with them once they were open. I think his favorite gift was the jungle ball toy that his uncles got for him.
