Stats!

I forgot to post Deven's stats!

As of 12 weeks and if we are measuring correctly:

Height: 25 inches
Weight: 15 lbs. 6 oz

D hasn't gained too much weight so far this month but we are hoping this means he might be letting others catch up!

Happy 12 weeks to Deven!!

Nick and Deven have been having a blast this past week and a half. We (and by we I mean me) getting used to being apart every day but Deven seems to be pulling through just fine! Here is Deven on his 12 week birthday in his favorite play chair. He is pretty excited because Nick is going to have to change is diaper after he puts the camera down. Here are some details on our growing little man!

Likes:

• Thumb - when Daddy is making a bottle or when he has to go to sleep but needs a little soothing first.
• Einstein chair - especially the cow music
• Auntie Jaymie - who watched him while Daddy ditched him for golf and while Mommy had to work.
• Sammy - because he always likes up the drool on his face
• Walks - to the lake with Dad and Sam facing out in the stroller
• Standing - this is still one of his favorite activities
• Bath time - because mom makes funny faces to make him laugh
• New Friends - Charlie was born last week and Deven can't wait to play with him
• Talking - "baby" talking
• Listening to Dad read - we are on the 2nd chapter of White Mountains

Dislikes:

• When he has to wait for a bottle to warm up or for mom to get home work so he can have his dinner!
• Still HATES getting dressed and undressed
• Afternoon naps - they just aren't cool

As you can see there are a ton more likes than dislikes. Nick and I are having blast playing with him and getting to know him. He is really developing quickly and seems to learn/discover something new everyday.

Last Weekend of Maternity Leave

Last week Deven and I focused on learning to eat from a bottle during the day because I am headed back to work tomorrow. It was tough for both of us but we wanted to be sure to be good at it for Nick. Nick is going to be taking the next three weeks off to spend some quality time with D. I have been promised at least one down town visit before the little guy has his first day of daycare or what I like to call school. This week Deven found his thumb which is a blessing because he doesn't "do" pacifiers. I know we will wonder why we were ever happy about him sucking his thumb but for right now Nick and I think it is pretty cool!!

Here is the latest pic of our little guy at this weeks tailgate. Go Huskies!!

Super Cute Pics (just for fun)!!

D's first UW tailgate

Although I don't think that any of us actually went to UW a bunch of us have embraced the college and the tailgating experiences it has to offer. As a fellow fan stated yesterday, "we are starting our little guy early." Thanks to our friends Ryan and Erin Deven was all ready to go in his Husky Outfit.

Deven had to take a pre-game nap to ensure optimum tailgate activity.

On our way in to the parking lot to meet up with the gang.

Chillin' under the tent, eating some ribs and watching football on the flat screen with great friends.

Not the greatest picture but here is Deven giving daddy one last hug goodbye before mommy brings him home for bedtime. We had a great time, he was a trooper!!

Girls Night Out!

So the Mariners had a "Girls Night" at Safco on the 29th and I decided that it was a perfect opportunity to get some friends together for a much needed night out! Codie's fella was our chauffeur and brought us to Pyramid where we all got our drink on; except for Renee who is expecting!

The Mariners were giving out free-bees which included a fashionable pink tote...we got the tote but decided that drinking and gossiping was much better than standing in line. Who needs a mani/pedi anyhow (most of us!).

We had a great time and even watched the game a little. We all made it home safely thanks to Alex who picked us up from the game even though he was sound asleep when we requested his services again!

Official Measurements

Deven had a doctors visit this week at nine weeks old and here are the official measurements! He is still in the 75 to 100 percentile in height and 90 to 95 percentile in weight. He had his first round of shots too...he did NOT appreciate this but he was much better as soon as we were able to cuddle and take a nap.
