August is always a very busy fun month of the summer. Ryan is usually home for a bit and we get to do some extra fun things, like going to the Children's Museum and later the Fair. Devin has learned a lot form Early On and has been going to group more regularly too. He is making some progress with many things, but it is very slowly and can be difficult for all of us. One of his favorite things though, will always be the pool and it has been great to see him love it more and more. Here are a few more things we did this month...
- He loves to take Mr Nibbles house and giggles when he runs back into it
- This kid loves to do two things at the pool: jump into the water and eat cheese popcorn
- Waffles are quickly becoming a favorite breakfast food
- Devin has never met a fry that he did not like and we are a bit worried that he might just go up to a stranger to eat there's at a restaurant!
- When we have to pick up the toys at the pool, Devin is really good at doing his fair share
- Watercolor painting is not for Devin, he would rather just play with the water and brushes
- Dance parties are a very big thing at our house but Devin only wants to slow dance with his mommy and does not want to show off his own moves.
- Whenever food is dropped onto the floor, Duncan is very good at clean up which ROYALLY upsets Devin. They have a love/hate relationship at dinner
- He is so very proud of being able to turn the ceiling fan on by himself
- Nothing engrosses Devin like watching videos of himself on my cell phone, he is pretty cute!
- Whenever we ask if he wants to go for a bike ride he instantly says "yeah!" He loves to ride in the Burley for bike rides
- When outside Devin loves to push his tricycle and does really well with steering. He has a lot of endurance too
- Going to Subway, he loves to eat a egg and cheese on flatbread and will have no problem finishing the whole thing
- When Devin feels like snuggling, he will drag his blanket out of his crib
- Once we get to the pool, Devin goes right away to get his puddle jumper to go right in
- We do not like paint but he does love to put stickers all over papers
- One not so fun thing, Devin has been making a bit of a mess when his diaper has a number two...often getting it on him, his hair and his crib...never fun to clean
- Devin has become a PRO at the spoon
- With our small garden, Devin was willing to try some cherry tomatoes
- We are lovers of the outdoors and when Devin feels it is time to go out, he will bring you his shoes and push them at you until you either tell him no (tears) or take him outside
- Has been making kissing noises when we read "Snuggle the Baby"
- At Early On, he loves to sit to listen to the stories with a weighted turtle in his lap
- We have been working on PECS card with Devin to have him help us understand what he wants
- Had a great time at the Children's Museum where Devin pushed a Cozy Coop around and even put his Lovey in the drivers seat
- We did a lot of walking around at the Hudsonville Fair and eating all kinds of food. Devin loved the Merry-go-round and seeing the horses in the barns
- When we walk around the neighborhood, Devin loves to touch ALL of the light posts
- Devin loves popcorn, but lately he has been trying to eat the kernels too
- He has finally figured out to ride the blue rocking horse on his own and boy does he love it
- We tried to use an electric toothbrush but he hated it!
- A large balance ball has become a favorite toy to bounce on with Mommy.
He loves to hike outside and climb everything
