This week was the start of fall and all the busyness that comes with it. We had our first outing to Bible Study Fellowship, where Devin was in a room with maybe 5-6 other kiddos close to his age. It was really great to see him cuddled and loved by adults, and when I get there to pick him up, he is happy or snuggled up in someone's arms. Later that same day, Devin was snuggled by another Calvin student, as we had Ryan's summer research assistant and his girlfriend over for dinner to say thank you. Devin is a very chilled out kid, and even though he does not smile as much as Kyler did at this age, he is very easygoing and loves to watch everything going on. When I have Olivia over to babysit, he often likes to smile at and interact with her, even if that means taking her toys away. Devin also seems to think that when kids cry, it is the funniest thing ever. He loves to laugh when his brother is crying, and it makes me wonder where he got it from.
He has been growing up and trying new foods like cheese, but he has also been exploring more and more. He still does not crawl or pull up, but this kid can get anywhere he wants to by rolling. He will even turn himself 360 degrees on his belly to change directions. He can push back and roll over and over again to change the direction he wants to go, but the one thing he cannot do is go forward. He has also been trying to put his face in the water when he gets baths. He does not seem to mind water in his face when his hair is washed, and he splashes like crazy. He has four very puffy spots on his gums where more teeth are starting to push through, and he giggles whenever I play with his bottom lip. It is so much fun to watch this quirky kiddo becoming who he is meant to be.
