12 months: Devon (September) First Birthday

Happy Birthday little one. Devon is one year old as of 7:33 this morning. He is still the happiest little kid and doing new and exciting things everyday. He stands very steadily, goes up stairs, still working on walking and started clapping this week. He loves to play with puppets, his keyboard and microphone, and anything that jingles. I got him into a "Movers and shakers" class twice a week. They stretch, do summer saults, hang from the bar, blow bubbles, crawl through tubes and play with other babies. It is nice to have some sort of scheduled activity twice a week. I fill in the rest of the week with story time, a play date with Jane at her house and a play date with my friend Emily and her super cute son, Roman. They are also in our M&S class as well as story time so we get to see them a lot which has been fun for us to see familiar faces. Joe watches Devon every Sunday while I teach yoga and this past Sunday they went to the park to feed the ducks (which Devon loved) and to the hardware store. Very manly shopping. Devon goes to bed at 7:00 on the dot nearly every night a gets up around 7:30. He loves to eat cantaloupe from the garden, pasta, Raman noodles, and strawberries. It has been fun to introduce new foods to him and it has been so much easier to give him food that we all can eat instead of making him a meal made up from random, soft food. I still can't believe that he is one and I get a little teary eyed when I think about it. He has just brought so much light and laughter to us we can't wait to see what he will do next.

This post feels a little lame, but I think my post ABOUT today will be better. This was more of an update of his milestones. Birthday blog about today's activities and festivities .... tomorrow.
