Exploring Boston with Grammy and Poppy

We managed to fit in some pretty good times around our first few weeks of Devin's life. While Grammy and Poppy were visiting we fit in a trip to Rockport, two walks through the Boston Public Garden (allowing us to real-time experience the rapid explosion of spring!), the Boston Marathon - which was unexpectedly eventful, unfortunately - and a Red Sox game. Go Sox!

Girly time with Grandma

Next up was a visit from Grandma, and some of Eva's favorite activities: shopping, pedicures, and more fun activities, including visiting the Boston Children's Museum, stepping back into the 1600s at Plimoth Plantation, and again visiting the Public Garden, this time in full bloom.

Sibling time

Man of many expressions

Though Devin hasn't yet mastered the smile, he does have quite the expressive face. Here are a few from his one-week birthday...

First bath

Prior to our first bath, we filled the bathroom with steam, resulting in both poor visibility and a happy baby.

Early days

Since D had such an uneventful entrance into the world, we only needed to spend 2 short days in the hospital before coming home with our very own newborn baby. Exciting and a little scary! We'd done this before, but five years is plenty of time to forget what you've learned.

Welcome Devin!

One week ago today, little brother Devin entered the world. He was right on time, and immediately started proving himself to be an easygoing, cooperative little guy - born on his due date, quick to figure out nursing, sleeping well (or as well as can be expected for a brand new human). He is an absolute joy.
