Happy Birthday baby girl!!

Baby girl turned 2 today! Time really does go by fast. I know everybody says that. But it is really true. I remember when I had her. She was so tiny and I was crazy happy to have my baby girl. She is such a little sweetheart. So independent and has her own crazy bossy personality! She is also progressing! Talking more and more each day. She is so extremely smart! She can name quite a few body parts, she is saying more and more 2-3 phrases every day, getting really good at puzzles, follows directions, great at pretend play..the list goes on! Oh my, is she a little cuddler! I love my mommy and daughter cuddle time!! She is definitely my independent little lady. I just cant wait to experience all the things mothers and daughters are supposed to experience together that I never got to. It makes me so happy to think about. I love my sweet baby girl!!!


Autumn and I ended up going to the baby beach in Dana Point with a friend and her pal Justin! AUTUMN LOVED IT!!! She ran out onto the sand and was running back and forth in the water. It was kind of chilly but she didn't want to stop! We definitely have to go back there. It is super nice!

My pretty little lady!


Running through the water with her buddy Justin!!


Mommy and baby girl!

After the beach we drove down to downtown San Juan Capistrano and ate at Ruby's! I really like it over there. It reminds me of SLO!


Silly girl!!!

After that we came home and waited for daddy to get home! Then we got some dinner at Wahoo's (Autumn loves her rice and beans), walked around the spectrum a little bit then came home to have present time and cupcake time! :)

PRESENT TIME!!!! She loved her musical puzzle and snow white barbie doll!!


Oh, just hangin with snow white and daddy!


Cupcake time!!!





I love my sweet little lady! She is getting so big! These past few days have been busy busy with birthdays but I am so grateful to have these two in my life. I love them more than anything in this world. They make me who I am and for that I am so grateful. I am so proud to be their mommy! <3

Happy Birthday baby boy!

Okay, so I had made a post with a whole bunch of pictures and it got screwed up. So here it goes...Less pictures though. Apparently, I cant position them on my blog correctly ha. I will just make two separate B-Day posts! :)




Oh my sweet baby boy! You are 4 years old today! He is such a big boy now. He has gone through a lot in his 4 years. More than kids his age go through. He is such a special kid. He amazes us daily with the things he learns, does, and says. He is making great progress and is such a little hard worker. I wouldn't change him or anything we have been through for anything. (Well, minus all this recent testing. I love him with all my heart and cant wait to see the person he will become later on in life. He truly is the sweetest little boy ever. The thing about Devyn is...he doesn't judge. He loves everyone. He is friendly towards everyone. He wants to play and interact with everyone. It truly is amazing when you think about it. There are so many people in the world that judge him. Yet, he loves everyone. I love my sweet little duder!
Our day... First, I made a special breakfast for Devyn and Autumn.

Yes, I am aware that this entirely too much food for a toddler. Haha..I just couldnt help myself. But, truth be told, if he did in fact eat it all I wouldnt complain! Because he is as picky as can be! Of course he did not though. He didnt eat much of it at all. It is the thought that counts right? I may or may have not eaten the remainder of it. hahaha..Haha We hung out in the morning through early afternoon. Ate lunch then did our therapy routine. After therapy we picked up my husband from work then came home. Our friends came over with their daughter (who is his best friend). They played all night. We made dinner, had cupcakes and Devyn opened an awesome gift we got him! He had such a great birthday. You could really tell. When I think back to a year ago he couldn't even handle the "Happy Birthday" song being sung. But, last night I truly think he was really starting to understand what a birthday is. His face lit up when we sang happy birthday and he was just oh so happy to be celebrating his birthday with his best friend!

Chloe & Devyn!!


..and people say that ASD kiddos aren't social and are not affectionate!!!! Such a wrong and ignorant remark!

CUPCAKES!




He sure does love his mommy! :)




He absolutely loved his present we got him!!

Overall, it was a great and successful day!!!!
