Devin -- November 2015

This little guy has so much fun personality and a stubborn streak that neither Ryan and I have any idea where it came from. He is so much fun and yet so much different than his brother. I am so thankful for what Devin brings to our lives and I pray that we continue to get to see this little guy grow into the man that I cannot wait to see. Here are a few highlights from this past month.
  • Was sick with a 101 fever after Halloween so he slept in even with the time change and then all he wanted to do was snuggle, he is such a snuggler
  • I am working on playing more sports with these kids and Devin did seem to enjoy a little soccer time with me
  • While outside, he had a great time "tasting" each of the sidewalk chalks. 
  • He loves to pick up colored leaves when we are out on walks and he usually finds some very pretty ones.
  • After a picnic of McDonalds with cousins, he had a lot of fun going up and down stairs and even doing the small slides on his own!
  • At snack time, he would rather eat a veggie pouch over anything, even candy
  • Loves to bring me letters but has been able to recognize a few like the letter "D" for Devin
  • Loves to drink out of cups and wants to use the small bathroom cup his brother uses all the time
  • When we pray he folds his hands all the time now, I love it (no eye closing though)
  • When we ordered Chinese food, he tried a lot of different things, but did not eat much
  • At church, he loves to get a donut but after finishing one, he will often go on his own to pick up a second one, if he can reach them!
  • When I go to pick up Kyler at school, Devin loves to stand in front of the door waiting and claps his hands. It makes me so happy to see him excited for his brother and the hug he always gets form Kyler when he comes out
  • Why do kids, all kids, love to stack the play-doh containers rather than play with the dough?
  • Loves to dump anything out and put it back in...even if it is minute before bedtime and it was just picked up
  • While taking his brother to the doctor, he liked to open all the drawers and cupboards, later hiding a Smartie wrapper over and over again
  • When I push him on the tricycle, he loves to drag his toes over and over again. 
  • So excited to see the Christmas tree and kept pointing at it over and over again! 
  • Had a bad cough for a bit of this month, poor kiddo
  • Has started to climb all over the furniture, ALL OVER
  • Happy to just look out the window the whole ride out to Illinois. 
  • Would often wake up early and see me next to him, so we would snuggle and he would sleep with his head on my chest until it was time to wake again
  • Has started to be VERY difficult to change diaper and clothes, very grumpy at times
  • Does not really like to color or do art things, but does LOVE to put stickers on things. 
Drinking out of a cup, he loves it, just messy

He found a very pretty leaf

Climbing, all the time at the playground

He loves going down slides

Enjoying his breakfast

Needs to work on his posture for porch sitting

Nose to Lovey, all the time

This kiddo loves a box

Love of popcorn is strong in this family

Having fun in the tent...

....with a little static

Enjoying our bike rides together

Enjoying a walk in the park

He looks like a little Harry Potter with a wand

"Hello in there?"

My little Mr Potato Head!

Our tree treat after the Christmas tree is up

My sweet little blondie
