The Boy

We recently discovered that Donovan enjoys his mobile. It doesn't last for long, but it keeps him busy long enough for his mommy to start dinner or do a little bit of housework. Notice how he is most excited looking at the soccer ball...















DeAnna has learned that having a baby and working full time is not the most fun thing in the world, but it helps her to cherish the time she gets to be around Donovan in the evenings and on the weekends.

Donovan just started going to a baby sitter this week. It is hard for his mommy and daddy to leave him with someone else. We like that he gets to be around kids, but it is still sad to leave his cute face in the mornings. The baby sitter let us know that he is a very good baby. Out of all the kids she watches, he is the easiest. We are very proud of him for that. He is so good natured and chill, unless he is hungry!! We love our little man so much. It is hard to imagine life without him. We went out last night and had Aunt Hannah babysit for us, we felt like something was missing! He has blended in so well with our little family, he is the perfect addition.

Another recent development with Donovan is grabbing onto things. Brad was helping him grasp some of his toys last night and he actually held onto them! He usually lets go immediately, but he is starting to figure out his hands and what they can do. He is so smart. He loves to look around at his environment. I can only imagine what he thinks about everything. He loves it when people talk to him. He gets his big grin and coos like a mad man. His eyes are still dark blue, but are showing a tiny hint of green. He is growing like a weed!! He is fitting very nicely in his 3-6 month clothes, but I don't think they will last too much longer!
