Summer has been so busy and with mom not able to move around as well as usual, it has made for some interesting times. The hardest part this month has been that Devin has decided that while mommy is not able to chase him or carry him where she wants him to be it is the perfect time for him to start to show how stubborn and independent he wants to be. Devin still has a smile that will melt any heart, but his temper tantrums and complete disregard to what we say if it is not what he wants to hear has been very frustrating. I just hope when he can talk more, that we can have less tears and more talks. Here are some fun things that happened this month.
Had baby-sitters at the beginning of the month and loved all the extra attention
When I am in bed and he wants to get my attention, he likes to poke me in the butt! Cheeky monkey!
When this kid gets a cookie (or pretty much any snack) he likes to hold them firmly in one hand and keep it until it crumbles into a total mess
Had a great time going for a hike at the Hudsonville Nature Center with Daddy, but came home with bug bites everywhere
Will not crawl down the steps, but will walk down holding onto your hands. I think he sees his brother walking down the steps and does not want to crawl
When at the library he loves to put books in the bag when we check out
Tips water over his own head in the tub while trying to lift the filled cup onto a higher shelf and is often very upset, but it does not stop him from doing it again
Threw up in the middle of the night and slept through it, creating a huge smell and mess for me in the morning. He did very well after a bland breakfast and was himself the rest of the day
Loves to bring me nail polish over and over again
Woke up screaming one night, but because I cannot lift him (because of my knee) Daddy had to go and rescue him
Had fun playing with Clara and grabbing every toy she had, but she just smiled at him
Would not eat noodles unless I would put them on a fork and then he would take it off my fork to eat, strange kiddo
While at Grandpa and Grandma's pool, he was touching flowers in a pot and then took off one petunia flower and shoved it in his mouth! You are not supposed to eat the flowers kid!
Had a slight fever and very snuggly while getting over small cold
Had a blotchy face once we came in from outside, not sure if he is reacting to the sunblock or not
Ryan took the boys through a car wash and Devin was NOT happy
Enjoyed going out to dinner with Mom and Dad at Tom + Chee for our anniversary, he loved it and smiled a lot
Slipped on the floor while I was mopping and bit his lip badly...blood everywhere poor kiddo
Has really started to understand directions, especially "go get Lovey"
Any time he puts a piece in a puzzle he likes to smile and clap (he is pretty good at it too!)
Has started to like eating toast, especially cinnamon sugar toast
When I gave him my hairbrush one day, he started to pull the hair out and smile at me as he gave me a strand at a time. This kid loves to clean it out every time he sees it!
He has no problem pushing Kyler away from him when he gets frustrated and does not want to share
With the sunny weather, we have been going outside more which means constant fights over sunblock
Has been learning which buttons to push when playing with certain toys and sorting out shapes
Loves to play "Buzz" at the dinner table with Daddy. Daddy points a finger and they touch tips of fingers to which he makes the "buzz" noise and gets a huge smile.
While playing in the hotel kiddie pool, he walked around and went under the water, then popped back up not frightened at all! Kid loves the water
Had fun playing with Thomas the Train in the store with brother
While on vacation, I snuggled with Devin in bed one night. I did not sleep well at all, but having him snuggle and have his head on my chest to sleep was so worth it. Waking up and having a little smile looking at me, and then giggling and putting his head down to snuggle with me was precious
Loves to show off his yoga skills, downward dog all the time
Has started to be much more picky about food. Will only eat Sargento string cheese, not Meijer and most of the time does not seem to want ice cream
Devin LOVES to be up-side-down
Had a great visit with Great Grandma Van Dyke, but really REALLY hates the elevator
Trying to get him to paint with a brush, he just likes to stick his fingers in it...and of course eat it.
hanging out with his buddy Duncan
Sweet Snacker
Check out those smiles...
...so cute
4th of July pool Day
He loves the hammock and the brownies!
just checking on my cake mommy
sacked out in Duncan's bed
Hi mommy! I love you =)
This kid loves to look outside
Pool babe!
Snuggle time with Daddy, and a bit of a splotchy face from sunblock
This kid loves his stroller...usually because he gets to be outside
