The Bebej Blog: Devin -- Week 49 (9/17/14-9/23/14)

We had a very busy week with a new big adventure...an out-of-state wedding! The week started out well with Devin enjoying his time at Bible study and getting to spend time with nice ladies at our church on Thursday morning. He was not the happiest child for them at the end of coffee break, but not getting morning naps two days in a row can be tough. Devin loves to watch out the window as Ryan mows the yard. He starts to jump up and down on my lap anytime the lawn mower passes by the window. Another thing this little boy loves is being naked. Yep, he loves to be undressed and almost instantly has a smile on his face. Devin tried spinach and grapes this week for new foods, and he really seemed to like them both!

On Friday, we took a 3+ hour trip to Wheaton, IL, for Nicole (Ryan's sister) and Keith's wedding. Devin did so well in the car on the way there! He slept great and did not get too fussy at all. In the hotel, he enjoyed rolling all over the floor on a blanket we brought and having a picnic without having to worry about Duncan eating his food. He slept really well in the hotel in his pack and play, waking up almost exactly at 8:00am our time. He loved getting to see family at breakfast time, but the puffs all over the floor after his breakfast probably upset whoever had to clean them up (we love having a dog!). At the wedding, Devin was hungry and tired, so he was not the happiest, but he did enjoy smiling with family for pictures. During the wedding, he was a little talkative, so he and his brother took some walks with me outside to not disturb the event. At the reception, Devin was pretty sleepy and had to be walked around a lot to keep him calm. Considering the time change, different routine, and poor naps, he really did very well! What was really a big surprise was that despite his tiredness, he stayed awake the whole car ride home! He was really good though, so that made things very easy yet again. We are truly blessed with a sweet boy who just rolls with life and takes it all in stride.
