Devin -- August 2015

So with the end of summer we were able to do a lot of fun things and enjoy a few weeks with Ryan home for a bit. Devin has loved going outside and doing all kinds of great activities, but he does have a stubborn streak and when he does not want to do something specific he lets you know it! We enjoyed a nice time in Princeton visiting family, visiting lots of attractions and the fair around west Michigan and even got to welcome a new cousin into the world! It has been a great summer and hopefully fall will bring just as many blessings. Here are some of the highlights from this month with Devin

  • Devin does not like to try new food lately, but he bravely tried waffles and loved them! 
  • We had fun going out to Reender's again this year to pick blueberries and Devin ate probably a pound all on his own, but he would often pick green ones too
  • Devin has been growing up which means no more 18 month clothes! It is always sad to put clothes away
  • When we take Kyler anywhere, Devin sees him going and grabs his own shoes, he is always wanting to go outside and will give me his shoes to put on almost first thing in the morning
  • Devin could live on cheese balls and they have become a favorite around the pool this year
  • Devin "jumps" to me from the edge of the pool and by jump I mean he just steps off the edge
  • We bought Star Wars cereal and when I gave some to Devin to try, he just ate the marshmallows and left the cereal...guess I cannot really blame him
  • He loves to put his giraffe Lovey nose to nose with himself...it is so cute but I just wish I could get a picture of it.
  • Whenever we take a walk, I always take a stroller so when Devin gets tired he can got in it for the rest of the walk, but as soon as I have a poop bag from Duncan in the stroller, he grabs it and throws it out!
  • Just like Kyler, Devin starts out his mornings, throwing things out of his crib. The longer he is awake and not out, the more things are on the ground when I go in there
  • He LOVES Karen Katz flip page books and could read them over and over again
  • He likes to take things in and out so I let him do that with his medicine bottle (child proof right?) well I left and he somehow opened the bottle of RED Tylenol all over himself and the carpet for Daddy. Ooopse!
  • Devin likes to do his own thing and that is not more evident than when we are outside and he will just take off walking, not even stopping as I run after him. He will also start walking and laugh at me telling him to stop...oh the fun.
  • We had a fun time at the Children's Museum of Grand Rapids, but that just meant he wanted to enjoy a favorite attraction...the steps. He just loved going up and down them, after trying to eat bubbles too
  • Had fun enjoying a new zoo, Boulder Ridge animal park where you had fun just walking around and not too interested in the animals. He really did not like to bus ride either!
  • At the hospital to meet baby Sully, you loved to enjoy running the hallways
  • We had a great time playing in the rain on the deck
  • After lots of running around, we found that his crocs had given him a blister
  • Traveled really well to Princeton and did well just looking out the window
  • Loved riding in the back of the Grammy's three wheel bike
  • Had a great time playing with cousins at parks and even riding in a stroller pushed by Keira. 
  • At Evans house all he wanted to do was run around and go in and out of the slider
  • Went shoe shopping and found adorable shoes at Target for 7, now that your little feet are growing 
  • Does not want to drink out of a cup at all, or from a straw
  • Loves to bring me books when I am in the bathroom, guess he thinks when I am sitting down, that I should be reading to him
  • At the Hudsonville fair, had a great time exploring, petting bunnies and walking around. He found a pile of poop and of course walked right through it and turned around to repeat the route until I stopped him
  • We have fun walking in the new development but fell in a mud puddle...he was covered!
  • Loved watching puppies on television and often giggles and smiles when he sees them
  • Had a great time watching family movies together and eating popcorn.
