devin and his baby leg warmers!

 much to fabian's disapproval, i made devin several pairs of baby leg warmers last weekend and they look so cute on him! i had been wanting to get some for him but just didnt feel like buying them online and paying about $10 for a pair. i found pairs of women's socks at target that were just the right length and cut the feet off and stictched the ends and they work great! and no, they're not just an embarassing 80s blast from the past, they actually serve a purpose! im able to put them on devin while hes just in a onesie instead of having him in pants. this makes for much easier access at diaper change time! he also has very stinky feet and wearing socks all the time really does'nt help that so these are great because they cover some of his feet keeping them warm but allow his toes to get some air, kind of like those weird fingerless gloves. i'll also put them on him this summer while he's hopefully learning to crawl, but i'll be honest, functionality is the least of my concerns, they are just too cute!

fraggle hitched a ride with his bff and stayed there for an unbelieveable amount of time letting devin "pluck him" and squeal with delight right in his ear! there is something truley wrong with this feline and it does'nt ALL have to do with his excessive amount of body fat.

i found this fisher price satge/mirror toy at a thrift shop the other day and he LOVES it! he gets so happy when he sees himself and makes the lights and music go on. he'll play and then look over at me with a huge smile and go right back to playing. so cute! oh, i scored this for $2.50!

ooooh ipod...

we let him play with the mesh feeder again (our second try) and he loved it. he sucked it dry! i had offered it to him with a mango chunk the first time and he was'nt interested. this time i mashed it a little and he ate two big chunks out of there. he could'nt get enough!

and he can never get enough of daddy :)

so much to talk about!

first of all my aunt kathy came to visit and it was soooo much fun! it was really great to spend some time with her and my mom together and get to see her and devin together. im going to make a seperate post about that this weekend sometime once i get those pictures on the computer.

i have way too many cute new pictures of devin and there will be a ridiculous amount of them in this post :) hes doing some new stuff and its pretty cool. hes getting so big, hes now wearing 12-18 month clothing and it just amazes me! every time i dress him i keep grabbing 3-6 month stuff and expecting it to fit, but it doesnt even come close to squeezing on! i look at the 12-18 month gap footed onesies and think "yeah right, maybe next year", but they fit him perfect right now!

i found an AMAZING deal on the exact convertible carseat that i planned on getting him in the next few months and had to jump on it! we paid a total of $96.44 for the graco my ride 65 which is pretty much an unheard of price for a good quality carseat. we ordered it from bed bath and beyond and i was able to use one of those 20% off coupons that are always coming in the mail. i just had to go to the store to have the clerk apply it. the price was actually $99.99 but after 20% it was brought down to $96.44 after tax and shipping. i was so proud of myself for saving so much there! and devin is so cute in his big boy seat! we have'nt installed it yet, we just have it in the living room for now acting as a baby couch, he loves it! i stitched some cute little animls cut out from two of his preemie onesies onto the strap pads.

in this one hes just chillin watching some sponge bob, i want a seat like that!

here are some that i just love

so devin obviously doesnt have much hair at all. you can see it better in real life than in pictures, sometimes it actually lookes like we wax his head! he looks so bald in some pictures... but i have proof that he has SOME hair-

look! you can see about 7 of his hairs standing up! we gave him a bath one night and that little clump is always standing up now, i love it!

he also just realized that feet are not only for grabbing, they're also for tasting! which is pretty gross because devin's feet smell pretty bad. even very shortly after a bath (i pay close attention to the little piggies during bathtime too) they still smell! i even wipe them down with baby wipes a few times a day! i guess it doesnt bother him beause he discovered he can eat his toes the other day and they are a new favorite treat.

hes been getting stronger and stronger about standing lately but hes really started to feel confident with it in the last week or so. he loves to stand on our laps and can even hold himself up on stuff now.

look at that little butt!

i cant believe how many things happen in just a week.
