Fun with Dad





The shirt says it all....

his love of basketball came from dad too...













"Hoop! Hoop!" Devin requests to go to the dunking rim in our neighborhood park often. Daddy is happy to oblige.

















Again, Gwynne's favorite pose.

She has been sleeping in her crib a little better the last two days.

Fun in the Pool



We may not like geting our face wet during bathtime, but pooltime is another story. Lots of fun to be had.
















Getting sprayed with the garden hose.
















What's more fun for the pool than having friends over?




















Ben brought a cool watering can that Devin just loved.













There is a picture somewhere at Grandma's of Uncle Eric in with this exact same pose and facial expression!

The Guessing Game

Devin's guessing game:

Dress from Quebec



Nana and Bampa brought back a lovely little dress from Quebec for Gwynne. And it's blue! :-)

We had to take a picture before she outgrew it.
















Gwynne's favorite pose.

Week 3



On my first day without Grandma's help, we had company from Becky and Ben. Ben had his own lawn mower that he brought. Although he was not as dedicated to "mow-mow" as Devin. Devin even had both mowers at one point.









Cooling down after all that hard work. Devin very excited about taking pictures now with his mini camera.












Sweet little sleeper. Out cold after a feeding.




















And she feeds well. Adding on the chunk daily...










Devin can't get enough of giving Gwynne kisses and I can't either. I don't look forward to the day they will be fighting over toys and, well, everything else.

First Day On My Own


Chris went to work, and I was on my own. Well for maybe 45 minutes before Great Grandma and Great Big Daddy came for a brief visit.

It was great to see them again even if only very briefly. And it kept me from being all alone with two kids. I guess tomorrow will be more of a test.







4 generations = lots of memories and laughs shared.

Sibs






I was so excited to get a couple of sweet sib shots yesterday evening on the deck.















Devin is great at giving baby kisses to Gwynne!












Proud of his new sister!

Gwynne, not so sure...

Happy Father's Day



To a dad who rocks! He taught Devin all his basketball moves and is just the best fun. He even delivered his own daughter almost 2 weeks ago! And, he's just the best guy I could ask to be around through the tough times and the great times. Right now we have an interesting mixture of both....






Love you Daddy/Chris!




From Gwynne, Devin, and Cate

Stats

Really just the weight: 7 lbs 11 oz
The doctor was amazed she gained so much in a week and said she was doing great. At our first visit upon getting out of the hospital, Gwynne only weighed in at 6 lbs 5 oz. Thankfully the breastfeeding is going really well. She has also already lost the umbilical cord stump which is so much nicer for dressing her. Now we don't have to go back until she is two months old!

One Week




A week old already. Pediatric visit tomorrow so we'll have stats then.

Daddy likes to take sleeping pics.










Baby in a mirror















Devin has been handling things well. A box with gifts for Gwyneth made for a good toy for him after opening.

He had a 104 degree fever two nights ago and is just about recovered from whatever bug caused it. Since feeling better, things are more manageable again. Although I have to admit, I still don't know how it is going to work when it's just me in the house.






In the sling. She is already a pro. It is so much easier this time around. I think it took Devin and me two weeks to get it comfortable.
