Devin 4.5

Devin 4.5 has been a bit feisty. He is testy with his tone of voice and knows what he wants and how to get it. He needs to be gently reminded often. Some of our favorites are, "Are you talking nicely?" and "Hands and words are not for hurting." He is also extremely lovable, a complete Daddy's boy, very into reading and learning how to write/put words together, and a total social bug.

Here are some Devin 4.5 pictures from this week-end at Memmere's.

Are you done yet Mom?

Girls, Girls, Girls

Isn't there a Beastie Boy song like that?

Devin has been quite interested in girls for a while now. Bless MY heart! I am going to be in trouble with this kid!

Last week we went to see Alvin and the Chipmunks the Squeakqual. In this second edition Chipmunks movie Alvin, Simon, and Theodore become swooned by the Chipettes, a cute female Chipmunk threesome. The movie is very cute. Immediately following the the show Erick, Devin, and I went out for pizza. As we were leaving the restaurant, Devin made his father slow down because he said he was "checking out" the girl at the next table. "Isn't she cute Daddy?" Oye!

~A few weeks back (and quite often) Devin asked me if I was still married.

ME: Yes Devin I am still married.
Devin: Are you married forever Mommy?
ME: Yes.
Devin: I am going to marry Aubriana. Okay Mommy?


~Just yesterday when Devin was perusing the movie covers, trying to decide which movie he would like to watch he picked up the Tinkerbell movie and proceeded to tell us which girls on the cover were the prettiest.


I am not sure where he is getting all of these things from. I think, no I KNOW that he picks things up quickly/easily. Its only takes Devin hearing something ONCE for him to know and repeat it again! While I think these things are mostly cute and funny, I do not want him to only look at girl's looks/outside and to judge them superficially. I guess for now I won't read too much into it.....

Growing Like a Weed!

At Devin's 3 year Well- Child appointment he was 40 inches tall. I measured him this morning and he was 41.5 inches tall!

That's an increase of 1.5 inches in the past 7 weeks!!! WOW! It must be all the sun and rain (watering)!

He is still about the same weight (40-ish pounds), give or take, depending on what he has eaten that day! And thankfully his shoe size (11.5) has not changed yet. Phew!

Holy Smokes!

My boy has grown a full inch in the last week or two!!!

Now, at 2 years 8 months and 2 weeks old,

Devin Michael is

3 feet 3 inches tall
36 pounds

Not so little anymore....
