Devin -- October 2015

I cannot believe this little blondie is already 2 now! I still remember taking him home from the hospital and wondering how this was going to work. Two little boys under 2 with a busy husband and a bit of an OCD mommy could be pretty stressful. Thank you God for these great two years and for a sweet little spunky kid who loves to cuddle and is so laid back...until he just is not and we know it.
Here are some October highlights:
  • Loves to bring me movie cases over and over, often will bang them at your head so that you know he wants to watch one
  • His favorite toy is mommy's nail polish. He takes them in and out of my container over and over again
  • We had a great time picking apples at Crane's Apple Orchard picking lots of fruit with Grammy and Papa. Devin found the littlest apple ever and just loved to hold onto it. 
  • He loves to ride and push his wagon on his own, everywhere
  • Devin has begun to climb the slide on his own, using the ladder and the slide to attempt it
  • We tried to do some watercolor painting, but Devin still prefers to taste the colors or paint himself rather than any other canvas
  • We often snuggle and watch television together, but what I love is that he holds my finger or hand and never wants to let it go!
  • Stood up and had the biggest smile as he peed in the tub
  • Had a great time running around in our churches garden getting cornstalks for decoration
  • Loves to drink out of a cup, saying "ah" and smacking his lips together
  • Devin does not like pancakes or french toast but loves waffles...huh?
  • He will often put his feet up on the table at dinner time...working on that
  • Says "Yum, Yum" when he gets to eat fries. 
  • Kyler loves to help Devin in and out of the slider over and over again, he has a lot of patience with his brother
  • Loves to hike and explore new nature paths but often trips over roots while walking
  • Hated when we turned his car seat to forward facing now that he is two
  • Devin did not enjoy getting his family pictures done in the cold, too bad because he has the best smiles
  • had a great time jumping on pillows in the living room 
  • Enjoyed exploring Hudsonville's Urban Hay Day seeing animals, playing with corn and seeing all kinds of tractors. 
  • Has started to grab his own donuts after church, often going after he own seconds!
  • At his birthday he enjoyed his Daniel Tiger cake but not at all interested in unwrapping presents
  • We love to go on walks after picking up Kyler from school and even saw a deer in the woods
  • At his 2 year doctor appointment he was 22 lbs and 10 oz (47%) and 30.25 inches tall (63%) but did not even need a shot, just got the flu mist
  • Had a great time at Boo at the Zoo, but the Superman costume was a little small and someone was crabby due to teeth.
  • We had a nice dinner out at Culver's and Devin was not sure of what to think about pop, he made some great faces
  • We visited Ida's pastry shop and Devin could not get enough of the samples
  • Devin had so much fun eating his broccoli cheese soup, or maybe it was just the fun with the spoon and crackers
  • Devin gets very upset at red lights so after I pointed and told him it was red and that we had to wait for green he now points and makes noises until it turns green. 
  • Both Kyler and Devin were sick for Halloween, but Devin loved going trick or treating in a puppy costume, not always enjoying the rain or knowing that he could not just walk into the other people's houses.
