1 year, 3 months

1. Claps his hands when you say, "pak soo," which means "clap your hands" in Korean.

2. If you ask him, "Devin, where's your foot?" he will point to his foot. If you say, "Devin, where's Mama's foot?" he will point to my foot.

3. When he sees the moon in the evening sky, he says, "moo-"

4. When we take him to the park, he will ignore all the play gyms and run straight for any dog he sees.

5. Last week, he started to say, "da-dee."

6. He loves to open the bag of dog food, find the scoop inside, and use it to stir whatever's in lucy's bowl.

7. He is beginning to feed himself with a spoon/fork. In this video (taken 10/14), he actually manages to get the food in his mouth:

8. Last night with the time change, he was very tired by bedtime. He threw down his milk bottle, walked to his crib, reached up for the rail, and started bouncing like he wanted to get inside.

9. Devin doesn't like sand. We put him in the sandbox at the park, and he stood on one foot the entire time until we lifted him out.

10. He can turn knobs now, and also switch the light on and off when we ask him (and lift him up to reach the switch).

11. Two days ago i taught him the word, "fish," and pointed to the fish on his blanket, his toy fish, and the fish that's on the side of his swing. This morning, i asked him where the fish was, and he dug around in his toy box and pulled out his stuffed fish.

12. When we ask him to get a book, he will walk to his bookshelf and pick out a book. He will also hand the book to us when we ask, but he won't sit through a whole reading anymore before getting distracted by something else to play with.

13. Every morning he walks with Daddy from the front door to the car to go to daycare. He leaves around 7:30 AM and returns around 6:30 in the evening.

14. When we hold out his socks and say, "which foot first?" he will lift one leg at a time to let us put his socks on.

15. To express affection, he will tilt his head to the side and try to rest his cheek on us. He especially loves to do this with Lucy, and rest his cheek on her butt.

16. He loves to watch Lucy eat and drink water. He crouches down on all fours and puts his face six inches away from her food/water bowl as she eats/drinks. He knows not to touch her while she's eating/drinking.
