First of all, I can't believe our little man is going to be 2 years old in less a month. He turned 23 months old yesterday. He has changed so much in the past few months. He is becoming a lot more vocal. He is saying a lot more words. You may not always be able to understand him but he is trying. In the past week he has started to say mama... Finally!!!! I thought I would never hear him say that. Mama was actually his first word when he came home from Guatemala. However, all the change from bring him home into a totally different enviornment was a shock to him. It was like he took a step backwards with the talking and babbling. He is definetly making up for it now. Now he will make animal sounds and he will say things you ask him to. The animal sounds he makes are meow, moo, buzz, panting like a dog. Some words he says are dog, bailey, gracie, dada, mama, yes, juice.
We just got back a few days ago from a trip to Pennsylvania. Devin, myself, and my mom went to Pennsylvania to visit family. Devin got a chance to meet all the family. We celebrated the 4th of July with the family at my Aunt Marianne's. I found out Devin is very afraid of fireworks. Although I am sure most kids his age are. He was extremely tired and it caught him off guard. I had to take him in the house to get him away from the fireworks. I thought Devin would be really shy around everyone but he was not. I think daycare has really helped him come out of his shell. It still takes him a little bit to warm up to people but nothing like it was before. Before people could not look or even talk to him without him crying and clinging to me.
Devin's uncle Mark and cousin Marley are getting ready to come visit from PA. We can't wait for them to come. We are going to Disney to stay at Fort Wilderness for a few days. In April we bought a travel trailer. Fort Wilderness will be our second camping trip in the travel trailer. Camping with a bed, a/c, electric, and running water is my type of camping....
Devin moved up to the 2 year old room at his daycare this Wednesday. He is now in the Magic Mansion classroom. He is adjusting well to his new teacher and classmates. I had to go pick him up early today because he was running a fever. I am not sure if he has a virus or if he is teething. He doesn't actually have many other symptoms of being sick. We have actually had about a month where he wasn't constantly sick. I thought he would never build up an immunity to the daycare germs. He still has the daycare cough. However, other than today, he has not been sick. I think he is cutting his 2 yr molars. His Aunt Kim thought she saw them cutting through and he is constantly chewing on his finger. When he was teething with all his other teeth he would constantly chew on his finger.
Devin is starting swim lessons again on Monday. We had him in lessons last year but it was just to teach him how to float on his back. This year he will actually learn how to swim. I hope!! He loves the water and doesn't seem a bit afraid of it. We will see if that changes after next week.
I will post some pictures soon of our last few months.
