It has been a lot time since the last post so I'll try to go over all that has happened.
Devin turned the big ONE on Feb 15th. We had a party for him that weekend and had lots of fun. We got him a carrot cake from a local cupcake place. He wanted nothing to do with it. I ended up eating most of it and Hal had a big part in helping me. We thought it was one of the best carrot cakes ever. Devin was missing out!
Dev thought it was great to have so many people that did nothing but pay attention to him. He was in heaven. He loved the cards. The one below sang a song. See the intense concentration. To see more pictures of the party click

Since we have moved to Seattle and Devin has been in day care he has been sick. It was lucky that he was mostly healthy for his party. A couple of days before it I was ready to cancel. Every time he would get a cold he would get an ear infection. Then it would take heavy duty antibiotics to clear up and sometime it would even take two rounds. So the pediatrician referred to an Ear, Nose and Throat doctor. The ENT took a fraction of a second look and then said that he needed tubes by the end of the week his ears were so bad. Last Friday the tubes went in. It was super fast - Jeff and I didn't even have time to get nervous. Coming out of the
anesthetic was pretty bad but a long nap later everything was good again. The constant fussiness was just about gone and little fights (going into the high chair or car seat) were easy tasks again. We are very glad that we had this done.
The scariest thing was now that Devin was feeling better from the tubes he decided that it was time to get the crawling show on the road. He took a day to figure out the movement pattern and away he went. You can't take yours eyes off of him for a second before he'll get into something he shouldn't. We are way behind on baby proofing....
