Stern Warning

Sometimes Devin's puppies are too excited to see him and they accidentally knock him over. Devin doesn't like this. So he's taken to giving the puppies a stern warning before we let them out of their pen.

Bucket

Devin has fallen in love with his Daddy's watering bucket. He carries it all around the outside of the house.The only thing that distracts him from carrying his bucket is dirt. Just wait until he learns he can put dirt in his bucket and carry it around!

Happy Thanksgiving!

What a Thanksgiving!?! Devin got in the spirit by sporting an outfit with a turkey on it.

Then when our dinner guest arrived, he took to hiding. But once we all sat down to eat, he enjoyed himself!

Devin is thankful for buttons, bath toys, his giraffe blanket, and his puppies. I'm sure he's thankful for his Daddy and me, but that wasn't in the list he gave me.

Dancing Machine

He starts out with bopping. Then twirling. Then he realizes he's being watched and he doesn't like it!

Coming AND Going

Devin always seems to have something in his hands, regardless of where he's going or what he's doing!

First Haircut

Before: After:

Devin was model client (for his mommy, that is). He let me shave almost everything before he started to complain a bit. It's not a perfect cut, but it doesn't diminish his cuteness one bit!

Pack Rat

Devin like hauling things around. And no one thing is any more or less important than another. Here he is with his popper, dog dish, noodle, and giraffe blanket.

Mr Duster Man

Devin is obsessed with this long duster we have. We've had it on the island for quite some time to keep him away from it. But the other day we let him up on the island. The duster was the first thing he went for.

A Most Wonderful Sound

Random

Devin is fascinated by the camera and loves to either give cheesy grins or point at it. He chases around the puppies all night until one of them finally stops. Then he tackles her and cuddles her.

Devin carries around a noodle - it's actually pipe insulation. He goes everywhere with the noodle. He loves that thing!

Daddy's Little Helper

We've Pulled the Plug

Devin loved his pacifier (plug). A few months ago we started only using it for nap time and bedtime.
But as of two nights ago, we're plug-less! Devin's done so well without it. He's such a big boy!!

Cuddles

My little boy is all cuddles...
...just not with me! He loves to cuddle with his Puppy Sadie.

Here he is just being cheesy. It's hard to get pictures of him without him hamming it up for the camera.

A boy of many different hats

More Chores

Devin loves to help with household chores. But we've had to explain time and time again that the clothes have to come off before they can be dried.

More Problem Solving

In order to sit upon tables, one's bum must be taller than the table or one must use leverage. Leverage it is!

Book 'Em

Devin loves to sit in his book basket. The problem is it's normally filled with books...But Devin is quite the problem solver...

Climbing

Devin's willing to climb anything if he thinks it will get him higher. He's climbed himself into a corner here. I'm not sure what he's going after - but there's not much in that corner except dog food, and Devin doesn't like the taste of dog food (we know this from experience).

Big Helper

Devin's such a big helper. When Devin's Daddy was clearing pine needles off the patio, Devin pitched in.Okay, so mostly he chased the puppies around with the broom, but he thought he was helping.Devin sized up the work - big mound of pine needles vs. adorable little boy
