Devin has been taking his time meeting different milestones, and I do not think it is because he cannot do them, I think he just is not worried about meeting them. For Ryan and I who have such type A personalities it is nice to see such a laid back kid just enjoying life and will continue to teach us a thing or two. He loves certain foods but has started to resist eating other things that he once would eat, which started to happen around this time with his brother. He is so cuddly and his smile just lights up our lives. Devin loves to be with Kyler more than almost anyone else and often will follow him around even if Kyler is yelling "no Dev!" Here are a few things that have happened this month.
He has been saying "Dada" when Ryan points to himself and asks who he is.
Takes steps barely holding onto our fingers but does not seem to want to let go even if it is one handed and barely holding on.
Helped out with the Calvin College Pediatric Lab and was a great patient for fussy kids, he did not enjoy the stethoscope at all and kept pushing it away.
Will gnaw on waffles but will not eat them
Has started to point to things that he wants, often phones, water bottles and remotes
Loves to join me in the bathroom when I am getting ready and will just hold onto the vanity and look up at me saying "mama" or grabbing onto my legs
Loves to try and turn pages in books, but will tear paper pages so we must be very careful
Wants to climb up the stairs so badly but just hangs out at the bottom looking up.
Smiles silly when we take a picture and say "cheese," which makes me laugh every time.
Has started pushing his walking toys all over but still does not turn them.
Enjoyed his first Little Debbie heart cake for Valentine's Day
Loves blueberries, mandarin oranges, and french fries!
Has a great time stealing silverware from the table and banging it on the high chair to make music
Hates to go back into the car seat after a short trip and often means a wrestling match - he is strong!
Took his first step on his own, but did not seem interested in more until we bribe him with remotes, phones, or basically anything electronic. Daddy had a few steps in a row, but does not seem to want to try otherwise
Using a sippy cup for milk at meals now
Tried to have him color in his high chair, but after some initial interest, enjoyed ripping the paper more.
Can have a terrible temper and scream when does not get his way (or the remote)
Tends to put messy food hands in his hair and spikes it up in a sticky masterpiece
Due to the above comment, has been getting his hair washed and seems to handle it better than his older brother
Just like his brother, he does not seem too interested in donuts yet, but we will see when that changes.
