This month Devin has had a lot of ups (getting closer to walking) and downs (eye surgery). He is still growing so fast, and he has started to say a lot more sounds, including "mama," "dada," "baba," "ssss," "gaga," and a word for Duncan that sounds like "shash." He still has his top two canine teeth coming in, but we have battled a lot of sickness too, including a terrible cold followed by a double ear infection and eye surgery. There have been some great snuggles and some very long days with very short naps. Hopefully we continue to have more healthy days and longer naps in our future.
I often find him standing up in his crib in the morning, smiling at me while bouncing up and down.
He often holds up his hands to be picked up.
He learned to drink from a sippy cup on his own.
At the ophthalmologist, he took a spill in the waiting room and hit his forehead on a piece of furniture. A bruise and goose egg formed almost immediately. We later went to the pediatrician to get it checked out, and she said that he just earned his #1 on his forehead. Pretty normal, kiddo.
He started to cough a lot and was up a lot at night, but during those long nights, I heard my first "mama."
Our furnace stopped working for a bit, and Devin still refused to keep his socks on. He loves to take his clothes off.
When anyone has the bathroom light on and the door shut, he reaches under the door with his little fingers.
He finally started to feel better, but when he went for his 15-month appointment, he had a double ear infection. He was also 31 3/4 inches tall (68%), weighed 24 lbs 3 oz (45%), and still has a large head at 19.5 inches (96%).
We went sledding in the backyard, and he loved to go down the hill as fast as possible.
During BSF, he is sometimes fussy, so he takes a "quiet time" in the pack and play with his bottle and then is happy as a clam.
He loves to eat his brother's fish sticks, and later Kyler helped feed him his bottle.
He does not like donuts, just like his brother at this age.
He hates elevators! He cries every time we are in them, even if I am holding him.
He has begun to play with doors and cabinets, often trying to get into so many new things.
He had eye surgery on the January 28 to clear out his tear duct. He handled everything really well, until he woke up from the anesthesia really angry. Daddy was finally able to get him to calm down and sleep.
When we got back from the surgery, he threw up all over me, and then napped on my chest just like when he was a baby.
Devin started to say "dada" when asked to do it.
We went to the pet store with Duncan, and Devin loved having the dog with him in the back seat. Of all that pets at the store, he seemed to love the birds the most.
