But Devin is doing wonderfully. He is a very happy baby, and really only fusses when he has a good reason to do so. Unfortunately, he does have some tummy and gas issues, which makes him fuss sometimes in the evening. But even when he's fussing, he's so cute.
Derek and I have been enjoying getting to know Devin's likes and dislikes. He loves making little noises, and he will call out if we are not looking at him so that we will pay attention to him. He enjoys being on his tummy, and has been practicing his crawling moves lately. He can't support his weight with his arms yet, but his little legs move like crazy. Devin also really enjoys daycare, which makes me feel much better about going to work. He loves watching the other children running around, and his good friend Claire (2.5 years) sings to him and talks to him all day. He gives her the biggest smiles. Now that Devin is strong and can hold his head steady, we have been putting him into an exersaucer for little bits of time. He can also "stand," completely supporting himself with me only holding onto his hands. He looks so pleased with himself when he's "standing" like a big boy. Such big smiles!
Devin is still sleeping in our room, in a bassinet by the bed, but now that he has been only waking up once per night to eat, we have been talking about moving him to the crib in his own room soon. The only issue is that it's a lot easier to put him down in the bassinet, as if he wakes up after I put him down, i can rock the bassinet a bit, and he falls back to sleep. I can't rock the crib, though. That, and if he's not in the bassinet, then I actually have to get up out of bed to go feed him. It's really nice just sitting up, reaching into the bassinet, and bringing him into the bed with me to feed him.
