Devin is growing like a weed. He is getting taller and heavier, of course.
He is still not talking but is starting to babble a little more. In December we took him to a speech therapist and they seem to think he is a little behind because of the language difference. For the first 9 months of his life he only heard Spanish. They did recommend therapy and we went twice. However, my insurance changed in January and that therapist is not a provider with my new insurance company. We have decided to just give it some time and see how he progresses. The speech therapist did give us some excercises to do with Devin at home. So we are just continuing with those excercises and we will see how it goes. He currently babbles baba and dada.
Devin has all his teeth except his 2 year molars. So, he is done teething for a while.
We are just starting to look into daycare. My niece is still watching him at our house but will hopefully find a job soon. We all know it is not the best time to be looking for a job. Finding a daycare that meets all of our needs has been a little difficult but we are still looking. It will be good for Devin to get into a daycare so he can socialize with other kids.
Devin is definetly starting to test our parenting abilities. He has started to throw fits if you don't give him what he wants. He will try to hit or bite you if you tell him no. Fun stuff... He is still very much a mommy's boy. He always wants me to hold him. He will stand at my legs whinning until I pick him up. I try not to give in but that doesn't always work. Even though he is a mama's boy his dad makes sure to point out to me that he says dada and that he will only give him a kiss. For some reason, Devin will give his daddy a kiss but no one else. He will give me one every once and a while.
We are a week away from a very important one year anniversary. Watch for our next post on the 15th.
