Yup, rolling over!!

So he hasn't made it a habit yet, but D definitely rolled over on Sunday evening so we could actually witness the act. He was surprised, then laughed because we were all clapping and then he cried because he realized he was on his stomach and didn't know what to do next. Ok play-by-play is over...proud parent syndrome at its best!!

Rolling over - maybe?

We heard Deven crying early this morning right after a feeding. If/when that happens its Nick's job to sooth our little guy so he can get himself back to sleep. A lot of times Nick just needs to help him find his thumb and he's good to go. Well this morning Nick found D on his tummy. He was upset, one because he couldn't figure out how to get at his thumb, and two because he hates tummy time and probably was wondering why he had to do this when he was supposed to be sleeping! So, while we haven't witnessed it, it looks like Deven rolls over now!!

Misc Pics

Although we were all pretty busy with Halloween celebrations, working on a flooded crawl space, preparing for the week, cleaning house and napping it was a pretty great weekend. Here is a Sunrise on my favorite mountains (view from our backyard) and a cute pic of D chillin'.

Halloween 2009

It was Deven's first Halloween and I successfully picked a costume that will embarrass him when he's older and maybe appreciate when he's even older! His school had trick or treating for the older kids during the day so Deven and his buddies all dressed up for the occasion. He was a hit!!

The Wright's had a party so we ALL got dressed up. This was way out of Nick and my comfort zone but I guess we will do anything because of peer pressure. Here are some pics from the weekend.


1. Deven testing his costume out the night before his school debut. 2. Deven and me all ready to party at the Wright's. 3. Chip and Renee as skeleton's, Ryan as some weird news caster, Matt and Chanel as Scottish folk, Codie as a Geisha, Erin as a private school chick, Alex as the psycho from Clockwork Orange me as Dorothy and Nick...well Nick is the count from Sesame Street!! ; )

Four Months!

Deven turned four months old on Friday! We couldn't believe it!! Last time I weighed him, he was 16 lbs and 6oz; he varies from day to day but I am thinking he is officially over 16 lbs. This was a big month for Deven:


Likes

* All his teachers at school - he always has a big smile when we drop him off and when we pick him up.

* Thumb/hand/fingers - what ever part of the hand, you can generally find it in is mouth

* Feet - Deven found his feet this last week...it was fun to see, we sort of thought he might take after Nick and not be able to touch his toes!

* rattles - no one in particular, but he like to grab on and stick them in his mouth

* car seat toy - not the car seat so much but the fun exciting toy we attached to it makes it a hit most days.

* Talking to himself - we usually try to talk back to help him develop language but it is pretty funny to listen to him amuse himself on the way to and from school every day.

* Einstein Chair - we know the videos are suspect but the chair is awesome, so says Deven. Specifically this month the orange star...Deven talks to it, laughs at it, grabs it and chews on it...freakin' hilarious!

* Eating - Deven went through a growth spurt this last week and had his 4 mo "wakeful period" a little early. I am hoping that it is over, we were getting a little too used to him sleeping through the night.

* Drooling - nick and I haven't figured out if Deven is teething, doesn't have the ability to keep it in his mouth to swallow it or if he is just a drooling king but man alive this little man is a drool machine!

Dislikes

* Napping - still really hates napping...but we (nick and all his teachers) celebrate those hour long ones and make sure to keep this busy boy entertained!

* Colds - Deven had his first cold this month; it sucked but thankfully it was not the dreaded flu. Nick and I have gotten the regular flu shot but the H1N1 shot seems to be out of our reach.

* being away from Nick and me all day...ok this is our dislike, but I am sure if he could talk this is what he would say.

We have his 4 mo check up this next week full of official weighing, measuring and shots. We are hoping the shots go as well as last time which was minimal side effects. Wish us luck. Below are some recent pics from this month.

Grandma and Grandpa Bodle

Grammy and Gramps Bodle came up to visit a couple of weeks ago and took some great pics. They played with Deven while Nick and I tried to kick butt at soccer. We lost literally in the last second but I got my first goal ever! Deven had a really good time and can't wait to see them again.
