Dogs

Devin adores the dogs. He will flap his arms up and down with excitement when he sees them.

Here is a snipet:

Lake Tahoe, Day 4

We spent some time at King's Beach on the grass and in the water. Afterwards, we headed home. Devin's cold is nearly gone and the drive home did not bother him at all. He is a great traveling companion.

Lake Tahoe, Day 3

After breakfast we rented bicycles - one with a baby trailer for Devin to ride in. We pedaled along the Truckee River which was as clear as glass. Devin napped for a short time but otherwise loved riding along in the warm weather. After returning our bicycles, we had dinner at a nice riverside restaurant where Devin was admired by many diners.

Lake Tahoe, Day 2

After breakfast we went on the Rubicon Trail to Emerald Bay, viewing Eagle Falls on the way. After the hike, we sat on the beach at Meeks Bay where a gaggle of Canadian Geese stormed the beach.

Lake Tahoe, Day 1

Devin developed a cold on Monday. I kept wondering why he didn't seem like himself on Sunday. The change in altitude on the drive to Tahoe bothered his ears a bit. Once we arrived he felt better and we took a walk to dinner. The mountains are beautiful, full of wildflowers and pine trees.

Singing in the Shower

Devin was a bit tired today. After dinner, I took him (and both dogs) on a nice walk. During the walk he alternated squealing and making farting/raspberry sounds. Loud. Then he would crack himself up. Anyone walking near us might've gotten a strange impression. Luckily it was a quiet evening and not many people were outside.

He was extra talkative and was singing during his bath tonight after the walk.

Summer BBQ

We went to a nice barbeque tonight. We ate Mexican food, swam in the pool, met 7-week old Baby Quinn, and Devin got a "hamburger."

Oliver

Little Oliver came over to visit. Devin adores Oliver and he kept trying to lurch in his direction. They are 2 months apart in age and we can't wait for them to play together when they are older.

Sunglasses

I got Devin some sunglasses while we were at the Russian River. He didn't wear them as we were mostly in the shade. I decided to try them on him at home. I didn't have my camera the first time but I was laughing so hard I would not have been able to film it anyway. This was the third time I put them on him. His reaction was a bit less dramatic than the first time, but still hilarious.

Sweet as Pie

7 Months

Devin is 7 months old today. He is such a charmer, working his magical happiness into everyone around him.

Sunday Afternoon Hike

Devin loves staring at the trees and the beautiful dappled sunlight filtering through.
