H@ppy Birthday Devyn!!

We kept things pretty simple for Devyn's birthday party tonight, but trust me, we still had a great time. Our neighbor came over and joined us for dinner with her girls, (McDonald's to keep things simple), then we did presents and finished off with cake and ice cream! Devyn's had a bit of a hard time settling down for sleep tonight(rare for her) from all the excitement I guess, but she seemed to have a good time. The cake was funny, she just wanted to reach for the whole thing instead of blowing out any candles and Mama had to quickly blow them out just before little miss reached for the flame. LOL. Inquisitive she most definitely is! She had a couple of favorite toys right away tonight, her Tinkerbell doll and her Ariel costume. Yes, Aunt, she is most definitely a princess in training!

She has had a rough couple of weeks with being sick and then rashes, but we hope that is all behind us and it barely slowed her down at all, even when she was sick. But still we all know it's no fun being sick. So glad she seems to be through it. Devyn has certainly come a long way in the short 2 months she's been home with us. Every day she is opening up more and saying a bit more. Her vocabulary is getting better by the minute it seems, and she seems to be settling in pretty good now. She has even consented to a few kisses from Julia and is definitely freer with them for Mama and Daddy now. Hugs,well I've even gotten a few of those this week, as with everything else, it must be HER idea. She is an independent little thing. We love her bunches.

More pics and videos are at Dropshots, you'll have to excuse any of Mama that leaked in, it was a very long day for Mama getting things ready, and Miss Julia barely slept at all last night, which of course means, neither did Mama and Daddy. Sure hope tonight is better.
