This has been a very exciting week for the whole family. We officially moved Devin into the crib and Kyler into his "big boy bed." It was a transition that I think we as parents were more anxious about than the kids. Kyler has really only had one nap time that did not go perfectly, and Devin has loved his new bed. I am sure that the crib is a lot more comfortable than the pack and play--naps in the first couple of days have been averaging two hours! Not only have sleeping arrangements changed, but now our little boy has one tooth completely through on the bottom and a second one ready to come through. It is so strange to see a toothy grin when he smiles at us. He continues to love grabbing things and has become very good at passing objects between his hands. His newest trick seems to be sticking out his tongue, which he seems to do pretty much all the time. He is just growing up so fast!
Ryan had spring break for part of this week, so we took full advantage of going to the see the butterflies at Meijer Gardens again as a family. Devin has really started to look around and enjoy them in the wrap, often moving around more than Mommy would allow without my hands steadying him. With all these new things, one thing we are very thankful for is that his blocked tear duct has really started to clear up and will hopefully not require surgery. Doctors have told us that they usually clear up by nine months, but with the past couple weeks of colds, it has looked really bad. Now my boy wakes up with eyes that can easily open and no crusty lashes. [Editorial note from Ryan: the clogged tear duct came back with a vengeance and eventually did require surgery.]
Those teeth just keep on coming...
