For Devin, this was a month of trying many new things and working on moving around. Daddy left for Germany, and we celebrated Kyler's third birthday. But in Devin's world, this was the month of giving up morning naps, trying lots of new foods, getting closer and closer to crawling, and starting to cruise around the couch. His right eye was still pretty crusty and does not seem to tear up very well, so the doctor prescribed drops to clear things up, and we have an appointment with an ophthalmologist in the new year. When he has any kind of cold, Devin's eyes just look so much worse and start to crust his eyelashes together. Poor kiddo--hopefully it will clear up soon! Here are a few highlights from our little busy boy:
Devin loved lots of new foods, including kiwis, cherries, strawberries, raspberries, chicken, persimmons, and more whole milk in his bottles. He can't seem to get enough of roasted cauliflower!
He loves to sit on my lap and watch Ryan mowing the lawn.
He has been getting up on his hands and knees to rock, but without any forward movements.
He is almost always sitting up in his crib when I get him in the mornings.
He has started to wave at us, but does not always want to do it when we ask him to.
He fell asleep in the car, but with his goopy eye, it kept his eye open during the nap!
He loves to reach up for me to pick him up from his crib.
He has begun to clap with us, but again, only when he wants to.
He loves to stand up by the couch, but often needs a steady hand next to him.
Devin has become a complete chatter box, often saying lots of noises. Once he even said "Da-da-da" when Daddy wasn't around.
He has no interest in pacifiers, loveys, or blankets. With the colder weather, we are trying to put a blanket over him, which he never seems to snuggle with -- he just kicks it to the end of the crib.
Since he has been sitting up so much better, we now put both boys in the tub together, resulting in lots of giggles and splashes.
He did not enjoy his second flu shot at all!
Since giving up his AM naps, he has trading in some nursing times to enjoy more snacks.
He loves a game of peek-a-boo.
He has actually started to watch Super Why! with his brother and gets a little excited when it is on.
He is very interested in the Christmas tree right now and reaches out to touch it.
He has four teeth coming in slowly, which can make him a bit fussy.
