Devin -- Week 11 (12/25/13-12/31/13)

Merry Christmas! Devin had a great first Christmas, which included a nice quiet day at home in matching pajamas with his brother. We got Devin a talking story book bear from Hallmark (similar to the Jingle that we got Kyler for his first Christmas) named Mason. After a nice relaxing holiday, we were off the next morning to visit with family in Illinois. Devin was a fabulous traveler, sleeping most of the trip and taking a bottle in the car. He adjusted to all the new houses easily, and other than not liking to nap without me holding him, he was great. Devin enjoyed meeting both sets of great grandparents, lots of wonderful cousins, and fabulous friends. Devin's cousin Keira was wonderful at holding him and tickling him to make him look at her. Grammy and Papa enjoyed some special time with Devin, as we went out to dinner one night, but thankfully he was really good for them.

We finished our holiday trip visiting with great friends Matt, Becky, and Louisa. Devin loved to kick with his feet free of clothing, and we discovered that you can have a sound machine on your computer (we tried pink noise). We actually made the whole 5+ hour trip home without having to stop because Devin slept and took a bottle so well. Grandpa and Grandma came over to see the boys and have dinner before we had to settle down after the holidays. To ring in the new year, Devin slept great, not even waking up at the start of 2014.
