Devin -- January 2016

So this has been a bit of a challenging month for our family. I have for the most part still been in bed this month but working on coming out more often. Ryan started working again so that meant we have had lots of great help with the boys. Devin and Kyler have been very good about just being flexible, but I have a lot of fun how often they join me in the bed when they are home. I am craving picking Devin up, but that will come with time. Overall this was a month where Devin has become more independent and at times a bit on the defiant side. Here are a few highlights of the new year.
  • Devin actually sat next to Ryan and enjoyed watching some football together
  • We did pack up the Christmas tree and decorations, which cause Devin to giggle the whole time
  • Had so much fun going outside to help shovel the driveway with his new shovel he got for Christmas
  • Devin still continues to fight us like crazy when he has to have a diaper change. At one point he actually got poop on the wall, himself and Ryan's face!
  • The new book "Dear Zoo" he got for Christmas has become a favorite, and read OFTEN
  • Loves to climb and stand up on furniture, including dinner tables
  • Has become the easier kid to shop with
  • While eating has starting putting his feet up on the table or pushing away from it when he is done
  • Still does not say much other than "Mama, Dada and Baby" but said "Tick" when I tickled him
  • Does not normally eat pancakes but while at Uncle Matt and Aunt Lori's he would sneak bits of them when no one is looking
  • Love to pull people around by their fingers or by the hem of there shirt/shorts
  • While sitting with me at the table, he kept feeding me raw broccoli over and over again (which is not my favorite) and kept giggling. At least it got him to try it too
  • Devin and Kyler both like to take my crutches away when I come into the living room, leaving me stranded until someone can return them
  • Still loves to play with the Mr Potato Head glasses
  • While doing stickers with me, he had his lovey pretend to do stickers and just kept laughing
  • Just like his brother, he loves to play with letters
  • Not happy when had to stay inside and watch the others shovel the driveway
  • We had fun giggling while watching family videos together
  • This kid STILL hates to have his hair washed
  • Has started to show me W and M and how he has to flip them to change, also with letters N and Z. 
  • This kid LOVES yogurt!
  • Devin has a love/hate relationship with Duncan. He loves to feed him, but then gets upset when he eats what he offers him, especially if it is something that he likes to eat
  • While at Costco with daddy he tried a black bean burger and liked it!
  • Started to drink from a regular straw! FINALLY!
  • Loves to grab Daddy's basketball and roll it or bounce it in the house
  • When he wants to snuggle, he will often go and get his blanket, pulling it through the crib rails
  • When Daddy went to get donuts, Devin went right up to the box and tried to get into them 
  • Devin continues to eat well, enjoying chicken tenders but still hates chocolate milk
  • Another favorite book "Snuggle the Baby" which has him doing "so big" and "hug the baby"
  • Loves to pull down his zipper on his winter coat...every...single...time!
  • Finally getting his top molars in!
  • Wanted to play games with his brother, and did try but hard to focus
  • Started saying "yeah" for Daddy and nodding head more often
  • Enjoyed a egg and cheese flat bread sandwich from Subway which is great because this kid does not like to eat bread!
Getting ready for heading out into the snow!

He loves to take the crayons in and out, not so much color with them

Lovey lost his head, but Devin still wanted to snuggle with it...kind of creepy!

This kid loved getting to use his new shovel

He likes letters too!

This kid loves to stay hydrated!

My snuggle bunny! I love him so

Doing stickers with mommy in bed.

He loves his water bottle...
