He's Breaking Mama's Back!!!

Whew! Who knew 14 lbs. 10 oz. could feel soooo heavy? Devon is growing fast and definately gaining weight, but he still has little interest in supporting any of it himself so it is mostly dead weight. Especially since he wants to be held and cuddled most of the time. But I am trying to enjoy it because soon enough he'll push me away for an Elmo doll. (or a G.I Joe or whatever little boys play with...)

He still won't take his cereal plain, but putting a few teaspoons in his formula is keeping his apetite a little more at bay. Today I tried giving his applesauce. He wouldn't let me put the spoon in his mouth, but he seemed to enjoy licking the applesauce off the spoon and eating it that way. Progress is progress. We'll master the spoon thing later. The important thing is that he liked applesauce. =)

Devon learned a new trick from hanging out with his cousin Weston. Yup, Devon learned the power of his own voice. He has spent most of the day screaming and shreiking with glee. He's pretty proud of himself. I was pretty excited too the first 20 minutes... Hours later I am starting to wonder why I was happy that he learned to scream. But it is really cute to watch his face when he does it.

I know the firsts are all going to start coming more quickly now, which makes me a little sad... But I love being a mom and am thankful to be blessed with my baby boy. What will Devon learn next?

... I am including some pictures of Devon and Weston. I can't believe how fast Devon is catching up. Hopefully the boys won't have to wait too long to see each other again. I just love the picture of Weston using the ball as a pillow. Enjoy the pictures!
