Pics

Just some fun pics from last week.  I'm getting used to doing tasks one handed again and Nick and I doing better functioning on little to no sleep.  We are surviving!! 

Fireman Deven

It was tough for Deven to decide what 'to be' yesterday.  He was either a base ball player because of his t-shirt or a fireman because of his boots.  However, when we made it to the Everett kids museum he was most definitely a fireman!!  Here are some candid shots documenting his adventure.

Deven's first baseball game!

The ladies stayed at home but last week (opening weekend) the boys hopped on the train and went to Deven's first baseball game.  The train was a hit.  Then of course there was a huge bag of kettle corn which I'm told was fully consumed and a hot dog, hold the bun.  Apparently there is an amazing playground where parents cannot follow the kids in...I'm sort of glad I missed this.

It was such an exciting day that Deven, actually fell asleep in the car in the way back from the train station - this is a very rare event.

Here are some pics they sent me throughout the day.  Hoping Tova and I can join them next time around!!

Home bound

Tova and I have been trying to have a few more adventures each day but with all the daytime sleeping and nursing some days staying at home is the best we can do.  Here are some of my favorite pictures over the last week.

Two week check up

This week Tova had her two week check up.  The check up was basically to make sure she has gained all her weight back and remains healthy in her first days.  Done and done!  Doc says she has the cutest nose and is absolutely perfect.  We agree.

Spring is here

So what do we do? Green Lake of course.  We made it a quarter of the way around before Deven decided it was time to go back to the play ground.  That was fine by me as my stomach is still pretty sensitive after the surgery.  A successful outing including our first public feeding for Tova.  She is not distracted by anything including a playground full of screaming children.  Good girl!!
Note I said a successful outing...the trip home was a different story and does not include pictures.  Picture in your mind a crying hungry and sleepy toddler, a sometimes crying and hungry infant and two grown up size head aches.  Remind me to bring snacks for the toddler next time.  I still think the trip was worth it but I think we paid for the fun!  ; )

Brother and sister

A lot of people have been asking how Deven has been handling the transition from only child to having to have Tova around 24/7. I can honestly say, he LOVES Tova.  So much so that we have to remind him that she isn't has old as him and can't walk, eat solid food, or play in the mud with him.  We need to remind him not to squeeze her too tight when he hugs and not to smoosh her face when he gives her kisses.  The transition is going great specifically with Tova.
The challenge seems to be in that Deven has begun a new round of tests to see what we will let him get away with now that baby sister is here.  I'm not sure if this is merely because he is almost three, because there is a new dynamic in the house or more likely a little bit of both!  Regardless we are trying hard to hold strong to our routine at least.  So far so good, just a little bit more tired momma and daddo to make it happen.  Cross your fingers.
