The Bebej Blog: Devin -- June 2015

My little guy is becoming more and more like a big boy. He has starting really showing his personality and expressing so many things. This kid is pretty funny at times, but he can also be super snuggly and throw a mean temper tantrum. One thing that I love though, is this kid is such a fan of his mommy and after I had knee surgery he often came to visit in bed and loved to just sit in my lap more than usual. Here is a few more highlights from this month:

Still nursing twice a day at the beginning of the month, but soon no more mornings and after surgery, totally done. Kind of sad that it is all over
He loves to take little walks down the sidewalk, but can throw a total melt down when I will not let him walk in the street.
Had fun doing watercolor painting, but thought it would be fun eating the black paint, gross!
Had a great time unraveling toilet paper...what a mess!
Kettle Corn could not be eaten fast enough from the farmer's market
After figuring out stairs, all Devin wants to do is climb and repeat
Keeps me very busy in the bathroom when I try to get ready so now I just give Devin a bin of nail polish and he keeps busy taking them all out
had fun going to the Splash Pad, but still got "stuck" under the water so had more fun walking around and trying to steal food from other kids...do I have a klepto on my hands?
Had fun playing with our neighbor girl and it was cute to see Devin "share" by taking away a toy and then giving it back over and over again
Has started to snuggle with stuffed animals and carrying around his loveys. He has started to favor the giraffe lovey that Ryan picked out
Loves to read the same books over and over again, especially "Where is Baby's Pumpkin" and he always smacks his lips together when we say "Yum" at a certain page
As much as Devin loves to go outside (and brings me his shoes), he HATES getting sunblock on, too bad they go hand in hand
Had fun going to check out the Hudsonville Nature Center, but did not walk as much as I had hoped, and wanted to be carried a lot of the hike
Devin has finally mastered getting up on his own without holding onto something
After getting a new van, Devin shrieks which changed after putting the sun shade up
Has now started to get cookies at the grocery store, and often covered in sprinkles
Loves to jump on the mattress with his brother
Really good at doing "downward dog"
Has become better at putting puzzle pieces in, but does get frustrated when they do not go in easily
Had so much fun building towers with his big brother
Just like toilet paper, he took every single tissue out of the box...again a mess =)
When we read a "First Words" book, laughs and giggles when he sees the Teddy Bear picture
Eating noodles, loves to put them on his fingers like a ring and eat them
At the Epilepsy walk, looked so cute in his over-sized shirt and loved to watch the tigers walk in front of him
Has enjoyed time at the pool and likes to jump in my arms and splash around.
While looking at the toys in the bottom of a large bucket, fell in and just hung out with his feet kicking in the air, did not even get upset but it was pretty funny after he was upright
After my surgery, he would come in to visit me and loved to shake my pill bottles, he also brought me his lovey to share
Loves to shake his head "no" when we ask him to say "yes"
Finally decided he likes to eat cinnamon sugar donuts
After having fun in the pool, loved to snuggle on my chest and just be with his mommy
