Huggies versus Pampers, size 3 versus size 4s

UG!!
I have been having the hardest time trying to find the perfect brand and size for Devy! And I only find out when I have already spent 20 bucks on a box of diapers and then have to go through poop on clothes for two weeks... I finally found a right fit for her! Huggies size 4! Pampers could not even hold her "stuff" in! So I resorted to huggies (even though they are a little more expensive) size 4.

Then the other day I was at a play group with a few girls and their girls in my complex and she has two year old twins that are still in size 3. HMMM I think maybe Devy can handle size 3 since she is sooo much younger! My gut tells me NO but I do it anyway... CRAP literally EVERYWHERE! I now have to change her diaper almost every hour! Okay its not that bad but if I let a little poo sit for even a few falling downs and crawling arounds then there is poop on her clothes!

So now I have accepted that I HAVE to buy the bigger diapers and suck it up. It is NOT about the weight of your kid it is about the QUANTITY of their "outings"

Devy is totally going to hate me when I show this to one of her boyfriends in 16 years...

Devy is a walkin'

Devy started walking at 11.5 months and she has gotten sooo stable.
She rarely falls and so many people are so suprised that she is so
good at walking already! I think it's because she is SOO strong!

White Coat Ceremony

Lance had his "White Coat Ceremony" last week to celebrate him becoming a doctor in 7 years...
I had to sit in the nosebleed section because Lance thought that leaving 30 before we had to be there would be a good idea... Yeah it was a fiasco. I finally had to drop him off at the entrance and then drive around till I found a parking spot. There was a cop that when I found a spot he told me I had to move and then sat in the intersection until I MOVED! It was really annoying. Then I drove around the block only to see 3 cars parked where I was told specifically NOT to. Anyway, I ended up not caring if I had to pay for parking and parked in a parking garage and then after the4 ceremony was over found out that parking is free on the weekends... If only I knew that I would have not driven around for 40 minutes looking for a free place to park... Oh well.

The ceremony was nice and it was actually a blessing that we sat where we did because there was carpet and Devy got to run back and forth while I "listened" to the ceremony. It was funny because it was like graduation but they just put their coats on and then had to sign their "honor code" Yeah right. It said to dress professionally and some girls were wearing mini skirts so short lance was afraid to look at them. A lot different than BYU Idaho I will tell you that. It was cool though. I got to meet some more girls that are going through the same thing with thier husbands with Podiatry school and we made promises to hang out with each other. I love making friends and EVERYONE is soo nice!

Devy's Birthday!

sluggish with birthday cake











After a few pokes...
She wouldnt bite it, she would just stick her finger in it and then lick her finger, it was really funny















































All in all it was a good day and we had a lot of fun taking pictures of her on her big day!
