Devin was born on 12/12/10 at 11:11am in Dayton, Ohio on a cold winter day. We wished for him for so long and now he is finally here. We wanted his story here in order to keep in touch with all of his family around the country.
We went to Bites off Broadway this afternoon. The weather was warm, the food was good, and the music was entertaining. Devin sat still, rapt with attention while the band played. He made quite a fuss when it was time to leave!
We had brunch at Suppenkuche with Auntie Loralie and Uncle Peter, and Auntie Amy and Gemma. Although Devin was dressed appropriately in his Lederhosen, he had a hard time staying at the table and didn't eat the amazing banana German pancake that we ordered him.
After brunch we passed a park on the way to the car and he was able to get his energy out. He ate the German pancake in the car on the way home.
Devin made a "birthday cake" out of playdoh and proceeded to sing Happy Birthday to himself a few times (quite loudly and a bit iff key). He also tried to blow out the "candles." It is his 1/2 birthday tomorrow, so he's only 6 months off!
Grandma and Grandpa came to visit. Devin was so happy to see them and have a fun weekend with them. He asked for them each morning and cried when they left.
