Devin's Journal

I posted this on Facebook but figured I'd share it here as well. Here are some pictures we took while in Carmel meeting our nephew, Dalon, for the first time.

If you didn't know, I had quite a challenge getting pregnant with my two boys. The second time around we were actually told we wouldn't have another one unless we did IVF with ISCI. They were wrong. Dalon has Down Syndrome and was born with some very serious heart issues that were recently surgically corrected. It's amazing he is doing as well as he is. All three of the boys are, truly, little wonders.

Some of the karate moms decided to have a potluck picnic last week which turned out to be way more fun than I expected. Not surprisingly, Devin clung to me like a little limpet. There's only one mom he will let touch him. And there's one mom who makes him burst into tears if she even looks at him (trust me: you wouldn't blame him). So he didn't particularly care for the social aspect of this outing but he did love trying all the new foods.

He especially enjoyed this pasta and ham dish that Laura brought (and, for the record, Laura is the one whom Devin will allow to hold him).

Our boy, he loves to eat. He will eat anything. ANYTHING. This includes things that I think are pretty obviously not edible but he will try it anyway. The weirdest thing he ate at the picnic was pickle relish. Not on a hotdog or anything....just with a spoon.

If I remember right, Dax was already getting picky by this age. I am really hoping that doesn't happen with Dev. It is just so nice to not have to worry about whether or not he will eat something. The answer is yes. No matter what. He will eat it.
